It appeared not long ago new game from our favorite Clash Royale developers. This time their game turned out to be very cool, compared to, for example, Boom Beach. Sorry to all Boom fans, I didn’t want to offend anyone, but I didn’t like the game.

Clash Royale new Clash of Clans?

No, Clash Royale is a completely different game, not like the ones SuperCell had. In it we don’t need to build anything, collect resources, or look for farm for half a day. The game is due out in March 2016. At the moment, only iOS platform owners can play it. Clash Royale is addictive from the first seconds of its gameplay, everything is very simple. We fight in the arena with an opponent 1v1. There is a deck that contains 8 cards. There are about 50 cards available, but you choose what to put in the deck.

The arena is divided by a river and connected by two bridges. Whoever turns out to be more cunning, smarter, faster wins. Finds rivals very quickly. What’s also important is that without donating you can easily drag high levels. It all depends on your skills and the skills of your opponent.

We launched a new line of news for the game Clash Royale, and even started installing the game on iOS from App Store New Zealand. Questions immediately started pouring in about where to get this game on Android; we even received several emails. This article will be a way to analyze when the official release of Clash Royale on Android may come out. All this is because there is no official statement from Supercell. There is even a limited edition release on iOS; it is not available in every country.

Let's briefly talk about the game:

The new game from Supercell combines two popular areas of gaming: collectible cards and MOBAs. Clash Royale is Clash universe of Clans, all events take place in this universe, we will be familiar with all the characters and interface details.

We are given a playing field with three enemy towers and you are also given three towers. We need to destroy the enemy's tower, while we need to land units on the battlefield, the most important thing is to destroy the enemy's central tower in order to get three stars.

Opponents will be determined randomly and they are selected online, that is, this game is not with bots, as many might think.

For victory, we are given chests, which, in addition to gold, contain cards.

To date, the game is undergoing public testing and has been released only for iOS in the following countries:

• New Zealand
• Canada
• Australia
• Hong Kong
• Finland
• Sweden
• Denmark
• Norway
• Iceland

And when Clash Royale will be released on Android, we can only guess for now.

An example with Clash of Clans, it was also first launched on iOS, then only on Android after 14 months.

With the farm from Supercell, the gap was even much larger, as much as 17 months difference

WITH popular game Boom Beach, a very similar situation as with Clash Royale, the same method of launching the game, maybe that’s how long you’ll have to wait

If we do some analysis of the release of games from Supercell, the game Clash Royale was released in more than one country, their large number, just not all over the world, Boom Beach was launched only in Canada and it is already clear that there was a very weak version of the game and it was tested.

We assume that the game will launch in March 2016 or April. It's not the right time to release a game a year later, Supercell definitely won't do that.

But if the game has not undergone testing, any earlier on a large-scale level, then the game can be expected in about 12 months, and this is already 2017, but we hope that Supercell will not disappoint us.

And everyone who has iOS can try to enjoy the game right now.

update 8.02.2016:

Release date on Android and iOS in all App Store regions

The game will be released in March 2016, the exact date is not known, but already this year in March we will receive wonderful game to all devices.

Our forecast did not come true, but this is good news; the company has become much larger and they have more games, which means more experience. Testing of Clash Royale has gone much faster and we can release it earlier.

update 02/17/2016

The game was released on Android

Great news, February 16, 2016, Supercell officially released Clash game Royale on Play Store. People in all countries cannot download the game, we uploaded it to our servers and published the apk file with the game so that everyone could try it.

Hello guys, today we will talk about a wonderful strategy and why it is so excellent. After all, she became very popular in a short period of time. And this is Clash Royale.

Clash Royale is a new game from the creators of Clash of Clans. It is a multiplayer real-time strategy game released on March 2, 2016 by Supercell.

Do you like to play Clash of Clans? Great, then this game should definitely not pass you by. In Clash Royale, there are dozens of warriors and spells and guns that you love from Clash of Clans.

In addition to all the heroes from Clash of Clans, many new characters await you - Prince, Knight, Little Dragon and others.

The essence of the game is very simple - to win, in the allotted time you need to destroy more enemy towers than your opponent. Here you can also create a clan, fight with your clanmates and share cards with each other.

Possibilities

• Get chests with rewards, collect new powerful spells and improve the ones you already have.

Gameplay.

The gameplay is based on battles in which you need to attack enemy towers with the help of troops in the form of cards, as well as defend your towers from the enemy. There are 3 towers in total: two small ones, with princesses and one with the king. Princesses have more damage, but less lives than the king.

Each card costs a certain amount of elixir. In the first part of the game, it is produced at the rate of one unit every 2.8 seconds. When there are 60 seconds left until the end of the battle, the elixir is produced 2 times faster. The maximum amount of elixir is 10 units.

Cards are divided into structures (cannot move, lose health over time, depending on the type they can attack enemy troops or produce an army or elixir), troops (move and attack) and spells (can be placed in any part of the arena).

Clans.

A clan is a place where players unite, can donate spells or troops to each other, play friendly battles or undergo joint training. Every week for 3 days, players must collect a Clan Chest. Every week the Clan Chest alternates - first the Clan Chest, which can be obtained by playing in 1x1 battles, and then the Clan Battle Chest - you need to play together with clanmates in 2x2 mode.

Cards

Your game deck is the 8 cards you previously selected, which are constantly used in battle. You can change the deck set only before the battle.

The deck cannot have more than 8 cards, which means that if you want to change it, you need to replace the unnecessary card with a new one. They are selected at the beginning of the fight on a random basis.

Based on rarity, they are divided into the following 4 types:

• Common - common. Used in attack with more strong cards or in defense.
• Rare - Occurs 20 times less frequently than usual. Stronger and more powerful than normal ones.
• Epic - found 10 times less often than rare ones. One of the most powerful and important in attack and defense.
• Legendary - found 20 times less often than epic. Strong and weak. Each legendary card has a specific ability.

As of May 2017, you can collect 72 cards in the game (the developers periodically add new ones):

• 19 common: Knight, Demoman, Archers, Arrows, Goblin Spearmen, Goblins, Skeletons, Minions, Barbarians, Cannon, Minion Horde, Tesla, Fire Spirits, Zap, Mortar, Elite Barbarians, Royal Giant, Ice Spirit, Goblin Gang.

Awards and criticism

Clash Royale recognized best game first half of 2016 according to Google Play Awards, and already in the first days after its official appearance it received the highest reviews from players and can overtake in popularity another famous project of the developer - Clash of Clans. Clash Royale was also recognized by Apple as the most popular iPhone game in 2016.

The release date is the time period after which the game is considered released, which usually means that it can already be downloaded and tried if you purchase a licensed copy. For example, the release date of Clash Royale is March 2, 2016.

Recently, more and more often, developers allow you to buy a game in advance - make a pre-order. In response to support from potential buyers who believe in the success of the project so much that they give money for it even before release, the developers share various bonuses and exclusive materials. This could be a soundtrack, an art book, or some mini-addons for the game.

Thus, pre-order actually allows you to buy the game before its official release, but this does not mean that the stated release date loses its significance, since you can fully play it only after release.

Why do you need to know game release dates?

If only because it’s more convenient to plan your time and finances. If you know, for example, when Clash Royale will be released, then it will be easier for you to navigate: set aside money in advance to buy it, plan things so that you can immerse yourself in the game as soon as it comes out.

Many gamers track game release dates using special calendars and feature articles about the most important releases of the month or season. You can find both of these on our game portal website

How do developers choose the time to release?

They are guided by many factors at once. Firstly, it is important for them to know that their target audience will be able to immediately join gameplay, so games are released less often during the holiday season, as well as in those months when work is usually busy and students are in session.

Secondly, for a successful release, developers try to compare their plans with announcements of potential competitors. For example, if we are talking about a shooter, then releasing it simultaneously with the new Battlefield or Call of Duty is not very reasonable.

Thirdly, the release date indicates the so-called deadline - the very point after which the game is ready. This means that it must be completed within the stated time frame. Alas, this does not always work out, and therefore the release date of the game may be shifted one or even several times.

In addition to this, the release of Clash Royale on PC and consoles may differ - often developers try to release one version first, and only then move on to the next.
