  1. [R5] Castle Clash 5/5 · US Castle clash is the best: I’ve played clash of clans back in 2012 to now in 2026 but I always hear about castle clash. I finally decided to try this game out and wow it is literally 10 times better than clash of clans. Literally addicted to this game lol

  3. [R16] Castle Clash 1/5 · US The game is ruined: I started playing this game back when I was 11 years old, I’m 23 now… the game completely got destroyed when the changed to the UI were made and too much started to get added in.

  5. [R3] Castle Clash 3/5 · US Honest review: I will give it 1 star I would give it 1 star atthe same time 5 star but there are ups and downs to the game. First of all they should kind of balce the pay to win and free to play so that free to play ayera can compete with pay to win players. Secondly serratica and dynamica the OG hero should stay the strongest and more rare. You guys can add more heroes but balance the power sys
  6. [R9] Castle Clash 3/5 · US Pay to win: I loved this game and been playing it for a long time I’m almost at peak but let me tell you something this game has become all about pay pay pay just to get anything cool you don’t even have to grind for anything anymore, it’s become bland and boring I miss the old version.

  15. [R14] Castle Clash 4/5 · US Good but pretty pay to win: I enjoy the game and that it has a lot of different modes to offer the players, but I can’t feel the same for a lot of the paid to win side. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind spending some money on a game, but a lot of the better heroes in the game require an unaffordable amount of money (for most). I understand micro transactions and all the completely, I just would lik
  16. [R19] Castle Clash 1/5 · US Child Predators Thrive Here: There is an all chat in this game that is filled with predators. please protect your kids

  19. [R46] Castle Clash 1/5 · US No help: Try to get help in regaining access to account and receive no help
  20. [R52] Castle Clash 1/5 · US One month to fix the problem: After the last update on February 11, 2025, the game will not load without immediately crashing. The app did not allow a problem to be reported. After this review, I received contact information and a day latter instructions were received to correct the problem successfully. After being without the app for a month, I treasured the extra time more than I enjoyed the ga
  21. [R13] Castle Clash 1/5 · US Cant play and collect: Can’t collect things needed by playing game, most things u will need aren’t available without spending money, no purpose or anything to play for because they only care about ppl that spend not play
  22. [R72] Castle Crumble 3/5 · US Cool game but won’t even open the game half the time: Please fix
  23. [R79] Castle Crumble 1/5 · US Keeps crashing: Was fun but keeps caressing when using the blue lighting bolt on several levels.
  24. [R81] Castle Crumble 3/5 · US Fun but random levels crash constantly: I started playing this on suggestion. Initially it was a lot of fun, but I kept coming up against levels that just randomly crash making it impossible to continue. Giving up on level 282, but there have been others that started working again after multiple crashes. Just so tired of the random crashes.
  25. [R82] Castle Crumble 2/5 · US Fun game, but . . ..: This is an enjoyable game, but it crashes every time on my iMac when I use the beam weapon. I’ve found that it’s impossible to get beyond level 171 without using this weapon. It’s a shame, but I’m going to have to delete the game because I can go no further.
  26. [R57] Castle Clash 3/5 · US Cambio: Es un juego muy bueno y entretenido, llevo jugándolo casi 6 años, pero me parece muy malo que al cambiar de android a iPhone, no puedas seguir con tu anterior, simplemente perdí todo mi tiempo jugándolo
  27. [R60] Castle Clash 3/5 · US No Cross-platform: I wanted to come back to this game after not playing for a couple of years. Didn’t know you can’t transfer from android to iOS or vice versa and I don’t feel like completely restarting my base on iOS when I stopped playing at a good spot. It’s not like other similar games can’t do this either, right?
  28. [R63] Castle Crumble 3/5 · US eh: It’s fun but difficulty progresses way too slowly. Does this game ever actually get hard I will never find out
  29. [R67] Castle Crumble 1/5 · US Boring/too easy: I played over 100 levels and it is always win first try maybe there are harder levels later but i don’t want to play millions of easy levels to finally get to the harder ones
  30. [R69] Castle Crumble 3/5 · US It’s okaaay: So I’m on level 124 and I’ve found it’s literally impossible to get less than 3 stars on each level. There isn’t much challenge however I still play it. It’s a good casual mindless sort of time killer. It surely doesn’t stress me out at all, so that’s good.
  31. [R76] Castle Crumble 1/5 · US Not a puzzle game: Too many useless animations and repetitive. It’s just a time sink and it doesn’t get better. And it’s definitely not a puzzle game puzzles have a singular solution.
