Rush Royale: Tower Defense TD 4+

When I initially saw this game, I thought it was one of THOSE games

Rush Royale might not look too spectacular in its adds or on its store page, but it’s a game that makes smart decisions where many other games lack. It’s progression systems are very rewarding to regular players (although a little bit dépendant on watching a couple ads each time you play) but the ads are not forced upon the player which is great! The game has very unique gameplay that is extremely replayable, both for coop modes or pvp. While there are certain aspects of the game that are heavily reliant on RNG, and this can make certain matches feel totally unfair sometimes, it’s part of the challenge of balancing a game like this where the units auto target, randomly spawn in, and randomly change when merging. There are many other things I could point out about the game that I enjoy, but really I think the frequency of updates and development by the devs (for the time being at least) show that this game has much room to grow and a community of devs and players that are totally engaged and enjoying playing Rush Royale. If there was slightly less frustrating RNG I would easily give the game five stars, but as it stands almost all of the systems of combat rely on RNG, which just is not as fun to interact with as the game could be.

Has potential

I’ve been enjoying this game since I downloaded it a few months ago. However, recently more and more bugs keep coming up and none of them are getting fixed while they keep releasing new versions of a battle pass so that you don’t have just one battle pass to buy but 2 or 3! Everything is being over monetized. I have no issue with a company making money. That’s how they stay a business! But when the only new content seems to be pay to win content and tons of monetization while game breaking issues such as the connection bugs are still an issue it makes me wonder why I open the app. I’ve had plenty of games recently where I’m about to win then randomly my screen pops up “the connection can’t be restored” and it gives me a loss. I have great internet so there is no reason that should be happening. Another issue is that players with bad internet actually gain an advantage when running a shaman deck because the way the servers are set up the player with great internet will still lag massively due to the slow internet player meaning you can’t defend against shaman. Many of these bugs cause me to want to stop playing instantly after one happens because it’s demoralizing losing a game that you should have won.

If these bugs are fixed and some balance changes happen then I would likely change my review to a 4 or 5 star. I believe this is a fun game but recently has been going in the wrong direction.

Poorly Balanced Supercell Clone

This game is a poorly balanced mess. The general concept and card variety is fun, but there is no meaningful balancing between cards. Many of them are inherently better than others regardless of how much you upgrade them or how you use them, and legendary cards (ones you basically have to pay for otherwise you will never unlock them) are so much better than others that you’re almost guaranteed to win if you have them and your opponent doesn’t.

The whole game is a blatant cash grab, and the prices are so much less reasonable than other comparable games. $12 for a season pass, and most timed unlock packs for legendary cards will cost you $10-$40. That’s crazy expensive for a supercell ripoff when you could get a lot more for a lot less in their games. There is a decent, fun idea underneath it all, but someone decided to overtune the pay-to-win to make it all about spending money.

I had fun playing it for the first couple days, but I’m at the point where it’s not fun, and I’m unwilling to spend money to stay competitive in such a poorly balanced game. On top of the cards being so poorly balanced (the one thing you can control as you assemble your team) there is no meaningful balancing to the “boss” enemies. Some of them are insanely disruptive and will ruin everything you put together in a match, while others do nothing. Way too much of the game comes down to chance, which adds to how frustrating the poor balancing is.
