And here’s another toy, quite nice, which I’ve been playing on my phone for about two months now.

True, as usual - it’s pleasant at first, then it’s not so much boring, but simply nothing, designed to come in, click and leave (rethought - the game is good for playing once or twice a day). However, we know that there are a lot of games where you click to enter and exit starts from the very beginning.

Review.

The concept of the game is not entirely standard, but it fits into the currently popular genre of city siege with the landing of troops while watching a cartoon. The main difference from a lot of VKontakte applications (Zombie War, etc.) is that there are heroes here. And almost like in an RPG - they level up and even upgrade their skills, though without the ability to put on gear.

THAT is, we have two types of troops - simple units that can be hired in the army camp and developed in the training center, and heroes. At first there are few heroes and units, but gradually more and more are revealed, so in the end we can have an army of 5 heroes and 30-100 units (depending on their diet, otherwise mechs are generally fat gourmets, they need 6 places at once , and ornithopterans - 12).

Gameplay, combat system

The gameplay isn't particularly clever. We slowly rebuild the city, extract and store gold and mana, install defensive towers, develop heroes and attack opponents.

There are two battle modes available in the game - a full-fledged attack on cities and the capture of a base only by heroes.

Attack of cities - we go to the map of someone else’s city and, by clicking on the field, we send our soldiers into battle. We see where they are going, but we cannot control them, we can only use magic - for example, heal the most hit troops, use skills that cause damage, increase attack, and so on. At later stages you can even resurrect.

It is worth calculating the optimal point of impact, since the bots are soooo stupid, they will hit some kind of mana mill while they are already being received by a crowd of enemy griffins under the cover of guns, and nothing can be done about it, except perhaps spraying the healer. The reason is simple - the change of goals is not specified, a new object is searched only after the previous one is destroyed. It is also worth calculating where and how to send the Ents (ancients) and their further branch, since they generally ignore everything as long as the enemy has at least one cannon.

Of course, the troops don’t really like to stick together and scatter in all directions.

These attacks are for farming experience, gold and mana.

Capturing a base (arena battles)). Everything here is extremely simple - three lines, like in Dota, but without bot units, your heroes must run to the enemy base and bomb it in any way. If it works out, of course.

The easiest way is to put all five on one line and hit in the same direction. But there are a couple more nuances here, and specifically, it all depends on what kind of heroes you have. If they are damaging, then it is better to send them along the line where there are no opponents; if they are tanking, then vice versa. Take into account the variation in speed, for example, a high-speed assassin likes to fly into a bunch of evenly moving opponents and fold in half a punch while the rest trail behind him. In this case, on the next attempt, you can run it on a clean line, or replace it altogether, if you have something.

Development of heroes and units.

The system is quite interesting, but at the same time a bummer for greedy nerds, of which I am one.

Ordinary troops - 4 types, cheap sucker infantry, 2 types of shooters (some have more HP, others have damage, some only walk, others fly in the future, neglecting walls) and destroyers of towers and other defensive structures.

All of them have evolutionary forms that open when you reach the base of level 5. The upgrade takes place for gold.

But the trick is that all this takes a very long time. even starting ups last from several hours. For example, now I’m upgrading the second form of the hunter - the centaur, to level 5, nothing at all - about 11 days. Although you can, of course, speed it up with a donation.

The most important thing is not to rush, this game does not like the impatient.

Schematically, the optimal development looks like this - first, the game is, as they say, only for fun, we hire heroes of all kinds and any kind, we actively attack living players in order to quickly rebuild the city. Be sure to upgrade the towers, they will be needed.

Every day we don’t forget to collect rewards from daily events and daily tasks, after all, two purple heroes in a month is good. Important - you can skip days, progress will not be reset, but you will not advance further until you enter.

Having developed your heroes to lvl 40-60, placing at least 2 towers, preferably level 10, you can slowly start farming the portal for badges of honor. At first it’s very difficult, but the further it goes, the easier it gets, now with 99% probability I take B portals for 15 petal gems, I also passed C for 20 petals, but there is a greater chance of failure, even though I have 3 violet 80+, 1 70+ and one is being downloaded.

Actually, from the moment the portal is completed, the game becomes interesting 2 times a day, we go in, run through dungeons, go through battles in the arena to suit your taste, and be sure to complete 5 attempts at the portal.

That is, how to get purple heroes in a castle battle is very simple - we take 2 for dailies, 3 we can buy for gems, going through the portal and a little dungeon.

Recruiting an army - the paladin takes on the daily task, he is a mega tank, he has an unrealistically high number of hit points, but a weak attack. The druid is also for the day job, he heals troops, but in general, I’ll tell you, he’s a lazy ass in this regard, don’t rely on him too much.

Succubus! It's a must buy! She is a real cheat in arena battles. HER castes take away 15-20-25% of the lives of the enemy tower at a time (depending on the leveling of the skill), and this is the key to victory most often.

The knight is a good damage dealer, that is, very high damage, but the problem is that he has quite a few lives. For example, at level 90 he has 2129 attacks and only 13230 lives - the blue one has more. However, due to the simultaneous attack on 3 targets at once with a coma, this is a controversial drawback.

Now I also hired the god of thunder for 2200 crystals - a little more balanced, but also good in attack, for example, level 51 - 1210 attack and 8800 HP. Has a lightning skill - with double damage to several targets on the map.

How to pass the portal

There is a problem here - even if you can kill all the enemies, it is not always possible to do it in three minutes, since one renegade can fall off and hit one building somewhere to the side, far from our defense, and therefore fail. The most popular tactic to prevent this is to place towers in the center of the heroes, along the edges, and place buildings around them. I personally did this - on one edge of the buildings there is only a row, there are shooting towers, they are better in attack and defense and reach out. On the other edges, everything is dotted with buildings, so there are cannon towers, very long-range and covering several opponents at once, which is convenient against extras and lost idiots on the edge of the map. In reality, the renegades are very annoying, how many failures there were because of them.

By PvP to the bases of other players.

Keep in mind the main nuance - the better you build your castle, the better opponents you will be given at random. Now every win against live players comes with great difficulty, the losses are always very significant, sometimes there are even simple failures when I don’t calculate my strength.

Gems can be spent, this is not an invaluable resource, but you should be very careful when hiring heroes for spare parts, since otherwise you won’t be able to get the hero up later.

Hero development. But here everything is not clear.

The fact is that heroes gain experience, as in all games, but every 20 levels they need to “get a pro,” that is, go through rebirth, after which their stats increase and they have the opportunity to level up further.

But for this you don’t need to do tedious quests, like in la2, but you need to get badges of honor.

And here everything is already ambiguous.

For lvl 20 ap you need 1000 badges of honor, lvl 40 3 thousand, 60 - 10 thousand, to go beyond 80 - 25 thousand each. Plus gold and going underground, but it’s not difficult.

But where can you get badges of honor in a castle battle? There are several ways. The most tedious thing is farming cities and dungeons. For each such battle, which lasts several minutes and has a long cooldown in the later stages, they give 3-6 badges of honor. As we can see, this is not an option.

Fights in the arena are already better, for a win 40 gp, for a loss - 6 gp. Only 5 battles in a few hours, besides, we hit the ceiling and PPC, we can’t break through the weakest one on the list. (then just wait until you are merged and the rank list is updated).

The simplest free option... eat ice cream or drink beer while you gain 60-80 points per hour (depending on your rank in the arena, so be careful with drains). Only here... to raise one hero above level 60, you need to wait 10 days, since the price list is announced above. Moreover, you can get to 60 quite quickly, not 10 days with active play. And there are 5 heroes - a total of 2 months to start dragging 5 heroes through 60.

Now everything has become simpler - every day you can buy a thousand badges of honor in the store for gems, and trophies are also given by daily deals + accumulate on their own, so you can have 3k a day if you want.

Donat: But lo and behold, there is an option! There are miracle quests in the list of quests - top up your account. If you top up by 50 rubles, we’ll give you 3k badges of honor, and a hero to boot, you’ll top up by another 100 - 10 thousand and something else, and, as I suspect, and so on (once I threw in half a kopeck, I confess).

Although in general the donation does not give the impression of being brutal, it is usually much worse. Everything is as it should be - if you don’t want to wait, pay, if you want, wait.

I waited, all the heroes are 65+, and the skill level is taught through slime and sacrificed heroes (altar of heroes - select the hero, click on the green arrow, choose who to devour). And quite a lot of ruby ​​crystals are sprinkled on the ball, and sometimes unexpectedly.

The only thing is that where to get a purple hero without donating is not clear ( it's already clear, see above, update). I spent about 3 thousand gems on the search for heroes, but 0 purple ones. For badges of honor, in general, only slime and green heroes. It doesn't seem realistic to accumulate petal crystals in dungeons, even I'm not that nerdy. But there are quite a lot of purple people, apparently, they give quests for donations. However, the violets are by no means an imbecile; they fall normally.

Review, personal impression

In general, what can I say, I really liked the game at first, I played it for a week with great pleasure. Then the waiting, on which everything is built, became tired, and the further it went, the worse. When a level 70 hero is laid down, you have to wait 12 minutes for his resurrection, or 10 gems, the stronger the units, the longer it takes to restore them (2-6 minutes each, and this is not the final form), or, again, resurrect for gems . But in the 60+ scenario, after each drain, spending 100 gems for each restoration is expensive, however. Or wait 20 minutes.

So I’m less and less inclined to turn on the castle battle, especially since it’s quite heavy for my smartphone.

An exciting strategy with nice cartoon graphics, in which the player will improve and strengthen his citadel, organize and carry out assaults on the fortresses of other players, establish allied relations, join guilds and battle with world bosses.

General information

Your efforts will be focused on developing your own castle. The construction of various structures and their renovation, the recruitment of warriors and the training of heroes will determine your success. All these indicators together form a single parameter - “Strength”, on which the selection of opponents depends.

Resources

In order to build, upgrade and hire, you will need resources. You can get them in two ways: by drilling wells and building mines, or by winning them from other players.

Several basic resources are presented: Gold - required for constructing and improving buildings, learning new magic, creating an army, etc.; Mana – necessary for enlightening heroes, also needed for buildings and recruitment; Gems - used to buy random heroes, speed up construction, they can be exchanged for gold, manna or badges of honor; Crystals – you can hire heroes for them; Orders - they can be exchanged for goods stored in the Warehouse; Badges of honor - used to buy heroes and level them up.

Heroes

In the game, heroes are divided into three categories:

Ordinary heroes are not even heroes. They do not have much strength, and their health leaves much to be desired. As a rule, they are used only in the initial stages of the game, because subsequently these weaklings cannot withstand the competition and quickly die. Their only advantage is that they have adequate self-esteem, and therefore do not charge too much for their services.

Elite heroes are serious fighters who can change the outcome of a fight in your favor. In some situations, they are able to provide more effective assistance than legendary heroes.

Legendary heroes have enormous strength and iron health. New heroes are constantly being introduced into the game, so their list is quite impressive.

Army

You can hire warriors in specialized army camps. The more advanced these buildings are, the less time is spent on training soldiers and the greater the number of hired troops. The game features 4 types of troops: warriors with destructive skills; warriors with magical skills; infantry and troops with distance skills.

Contractions

Battles take place automatically, and your influence on the course of the fight will be very limited. The main task is to place the fighters in your area of ​​the battlefield in the most advantageous way. Units will attack the enemies closest to them. In addition, you can use magic, with its help you can heal a squad or fighter, strengthen their onslaught, or attack enemy troops with magic spells.

You will have the opportunity to visit dungeons. These places are the main source of crystals. In the game you will find two types of dungeons: regular dungeons and elite dungeons. They are distinguished by the difficulty of completion and the abundance of rewards.

Arenas

From the very beginning of the game, Arenas will be available to you. You can release several heroes on them (no more than five). You can have only five fights in half an hour, and for all fights you receive badges of honor. True, the difference for winning or losing is significant: for winning you get 40 badges of honor, and for losing only 4.

Castle Clash- a multiplayer fantasy online strategy, which is another clone of Clash of Clans. First of all, the game attracts with its atmospheric and very bright graphics, as well as its own visual style: each of the objects and characters in the game has a pleasant appearance and appropriate animation.

The game will surprise players not only with its graphical component, but also with the fact that several races coexist in one universe, for example, gnomes, elves, robots and many other creatures that help each other and live in peace. It is in this fantasy world filled with a variety of creatures that we have to build our own powerful state.

At the very beginning of the game you will have at your disposal a small fortress, which after a few hours of intense play can turn into a powerful empire. But for this we will have to try: we build buildings, study various spells, train an army of soldiers, in general, we do the usual things for strategy. But don’t forget about the most important thing - the resources that are mined in the mines.

Of course, you have to defend your possessions and participate in numerous battles. You will be able to both defend and attack enemy territory, and if you can win, the captured territory will become your possession. To prevent other players from defeating you, you need to build battle towers, as well as units that specialize in different types of weapons, from archers to robots.

All battles in the game take place automatically, so the player is given the place of a spectator, where we can only watch what is happening on the battlefield. In most cases, if the roles of your soldiers are incorrectly distributed, you will lose in battles, but if you can gather the most powerful army, constantly train and improve your soldiers, then even a computer can cope with any enemy army and bring the matter to the end.

As a change, battles in the arena have been added to the game, as well as a built-in chat in which you can communicate with other players while observing the funny behavior of your hero.

Castle Clash– in general, the game turned out to be interesting, but, as in all multiplayer online strategies, there is a donation in it, which will not allow you to quickly develop your empire (unless, of course, you are ready to spend real money). And so quite a lot of players come into the game, ready to measure their strength and their army.

Features of the game Castle Clash:

• excellent graphics and effects;
• huge game world;
• hundreds of thousands of participants from all over the world;
• familiar gameplay;
• arena and built-in chat.

is one of the latest high-quality strategies for the Android operating system and devices that work with it. As you understand, today we will talk about this toy, which I, your humble servant, play with every day. I will not retell other articles here, since I learned everything myself. Let me remind you that the game is free, so don’t be fooled by the fact that you have to pay money to download or register.

Before you download

So, the first thing to consider before you download Castle Clash is that the game is tied to your device! That is, by deleting the application, the account is no longer deleted, which means that you simply won’t be able to start again! Your account is stored on the developers' server. By the way, you should also come up with a decent username, and not a set of numbers, because you can’t change it either.

Point number 2 - access to the Internet

In order to play this game, you must periodically access the Internet. That is, you won’t be able to play it offline. Remember this. On the other hand, only the lazy do not have access to the network, since it can be found in the most remote villages.

Functionality and rules of the game Castle Clash

In principle, since this is a strategy, you must understand that you have to build your city, defend it and participate in battles. The available buildings of your city can be developed by spending either mana or gold, which can be earned in battles (by robbing opponents) and using your own mines and wells. You also receive, buy and develop your heroes along with your army.

To store gold, they are upgraded with mana, and wells with mana and vessels for storing them are updated with gold. This is the cross procedure. These resources can also be obtained by participating in battles and destroying enemy wells, mines, boxes and vessels. That is, you can have your own supplies quite easily.

There is also such a thing as Gems (crystals, or something), which are awarded for certain achievements. I would recommend not to spend them left and right, as they are replenished quite hard. Their number is available to you on the right side of the display. I understand that they can be bought for real dollars in the Google store, but I’m not one to spend money on such a thing.

At the top left there is a rating with an image stars. This is an important indicator, since to upgrade your Heroes you will definitely need these stars. Without them in the required quantity, you will mark time. By the way, you can use them to upgrade your hero, train him or buy a new one.

Under the star we see a box with “gifts”. When numbers appear on it during the game, you go in and take away one or another number of these very precious stones (gems).

In the left corner we see three shortcuts: scroll, sword, gear. The scroll is your rewards. If a number appears on it, then we also go in and pick up the gems. The gear is just settings for sound, language, and so on.

Sword, when pressed, two more buttons pop up and serve to start the battle. Battles can take place in a dungeon, like an arcade, or just with other players like you. The Castle Clash dungeon also serves to earn money, mana, stars and shards. The latter can also be used for upgrades. You can also participate in regular battles with other players (who are offline, since while you are online, no one can attack you), earning mana, stars, and money by destroying them. By the way, your heroes also earn experience in battles. If you were unable to destroy the enemy city by at least half, then stars will be taken from you in greater quantities than you can earn with victory. This only applies to the stars!

In the lower right corner we see cup, hammer and letter. The Cup is your rating in the game. Hammer is the currently available buildings. A letter is a message about who attacked you and with what result (damage to you).

Heroes and army of Castle Clash

Let's start with the army. Initially, you have one barracks, which can then be expanded according to the number of troops. As the city develops, there will also be more barracks. In the barracks menu you select the desired unit, and for mana it is built. You can develop units in the training center. After upgrades they will be built stronger and more expensive. But upgrades are carried out for gold. In general, it won’t be difficult to figure out which unit does what and what weapon it has.

Heroes. I can’t tell you much, since I’ve been playing for 10 days, but I have 7 Heroes. The first Hero will be given to you at the very beginning, the rest are given (one or two) during the game or purchased. An overview of Heroes can be done on the Altar of Heroes, where they can be upgraded and purchased. Actually, there you can see all possible Heroes. The Altar of Heroes is also given to you initially. I almost forgot, in order for a Hero to participate in battles and be visible at all, he must have a base. There are five bases available in total and only 5 Heroes can be used at a time. They say that 2 identical Heroes cannot be used in battles. Perhaps I haven't tried it myself. By the way, the bases can also be developed.

My Heroes

At the very beginning of the game, the Arena is also available to you, thanks to which you can earn stars by fighting with only heroes (without troops) (maximum 5 pieces at a time). You can fight 5 battles in half an hour. Interestingly, you can both lose and win, receiving plus stars: for a loss - 4, for a win - 40.

If I remember anything, I will add it. Remember, they can attack you only when you are offline, or when you are inactive for 15 minutes (then they will simply kick you out). In general, they are afraid that you will not be attacked, since all buildings and troops will remain intact, but gold and mana will be stolen, although not completely, so when leaving the game, spend these things to the maximum.

Questions from visitors

1) How to change castle clash language?

Unfortunately, it won’t be possible to change the language, at least not yet. If you use the English version, then after downloading the Russian one, you start again. Maybe this situation has arisen because their versions are different. Personally, I play the English version of Castle Clash, and I don’t worry))))
