Clash Royale, a follow up to the hugely popular Clash Of Clans, was launched in March for Android and iOS users by Supercell. If you are a novice, chances are you might be feeling a bit confused by your lack of wins and difficulty in understanding the game's strategy. Do not worry; we have some handy tips for beginners and as you keep playing you will master the game slowly and steadily.Clash Royale is sort of like a combination of a competitive RTS with tower defense. Each player has three towers: one king tower and two smaller towers on either side. You have a deck of cards stacked with different units and spells, all of which require elixir to activate. The more elixir, the more powerful the card. Elixir fills slowly throughout the match, and you deploy your units in an effort to outfox your opponent and destroy his or her towers.Clash Royale is two players head to head, battling it out. There’s an unpredictability that comes with a human opponent that can’t be beat. From there, it’s a classic rock/paper/scissors concept of a small-scale RTS. Some units are better against towers, some against enemy units, some better in concert and some worth twice their weight in elixir if deployed at the right time.
It’s a smart game, and it’s a tough game: there’s the real sense that the right strategy can topple any player, and there’s satisfaction even in being outsmarted by a talented opponent. It’s worth a play for anyone who likes tactics and strategy, and it’s fun to get such deep game play on the small screen.
Clash Royale (as of this writing) features a few dozen cards of which players select eight unique cards to build a deck. Initially, this seems a little too basic- particularly if you're a veteran of other card games. Once you let it settle in, it's actually pretty awesome, as with only eight cards to work with, it becomes immediately transparent which cards are and aren't working in your deck. Additionally, with a card pool measured in the dozens combined with cleverly tiered unlocking of available cards, you quickly learn what everything in the game does without the encyclopedic knowledge required to know every single card in a typical CCG.
The RTS and MOBA elements have also been greatly simplified. In both genres, success comes from not just by how intelligently you utilize your units, but how quickly and accurately you're able to control them. In the world of popular RTS games like StarCraft, top-tier players are issuing hundreds of commands a minute to their army. Similarly, the split-second decision making you see in top-tier MOBA play is incredible. Clash Royale simplifies and slows all of that down just enough that it's easy to play, while still invoking a feeling that your decisions matter just as much as the ones you might make in an RTS or MOBA.
