- [R5] Castle Clash 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

- [R16] Castle Clash 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. It’s sad that my childhood game got ruined. Bring back the old castle clash.

- [R3] Castle Clash 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
- [R9] Castle Clash 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. Were you had to grind to get what you wanted not be hit with endless pop ups to buy stuff.
- [R10] Castle Clash X X X X X X X X X X: anymore pop ups? jesus christ PET THIS EGG THIS SPAWN THIS LET ME PLAY BRUH
- [R12] Castle Clash Pay to Win: I played this game for years since I believe when Cupid came out and since then it’s not the same it’s pay to win and it makes it to easy I enjoyed it before when you only could get heroes by gems or by special events now it’s eww if there is somehow a castle clash 2 and they took out pay to win it would be amazing
- [R1] Castle Clash Bug fix: Anyone else not able to open the app without it closing on itself ?? I was playing fine before the update and then it just started crashing as it gets to 100% on loading screen. Love the game but this should be fixed .

- [R11] Castle Clash Mong game có tiếng việt: Mong game sớm có tiếng việt
- [R14] Castle Clash 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
- [R19] Castle Clash Child Predators Thrive Here: There is an all chat in this game that is filled with predators. please protect your kids

- [R46] Castle Clash No help: Try to get help in regaining access to account and receive no help
- [R52] Castle Clash 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
- [R13] Castle Clash 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
- [R72] Castle Crumble Cool game but won’t even open the game half the time: Please fix
- [R79] Castle Crumble Keeps crashing: Was fun but keeps caressing when using the blue lighting bolt on several levels.
- [R81] Castle Crumble 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.
- [R82] Castle Crumble 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.
- [R57] Castle Clash 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
- [R60] Castle Clash 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?
- [R63] Castle Crumble eh: It’s fun but difficulty progresses way too slowly. Does this game ever actually get hard I will never find out
- [R67] Castle Crumble 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
- [R69] Castle Crumble 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.
- [R76] Castle Crumble 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.
