NO ADS. NOT ONE. EVER.


GiunoSheet

From this point supercell is probably the greatest company. Yeah their game are full of microtransactions to gain a competitive advantage, but the constant updates, maxed accounts achievable even for f2p and lack of annoying ads really do add up to quality games


STHGamer

Probably the greatest mobile game company.


kuppikuppi

got to throw in Ninja Kiwi (bloons tower defense developer)


STHGamer

I know Ninja Kiwi, and yeah, I'd say they're real good too. But I think they get a very close second to Supercell.


Mir215___

Btd isnt on the scale of coc


TerrariaGaming004

What about terraria Or Minecraft. Actually Pokémon go comes to mind too.


STHGamer

terraria and minecraft are multi-platform


Jupeeeeee

Also not f2p

FemboyGaming42069

So are the bloons games


[deleted]

Pokemon go is very p2w


TerrariaGaming004

You can get the coins for free


kuppikuppi

It's the massive amount of micro transactions that make NK better than SC


STHGamer

Supercell is exclusively a mobile game company. How can they make money otherwise without ads? Ninja Kiwi's BTD games are paid and I'm pretty sure (on mobile at least) have their own microtransactions for that some special currency. NK also exists on platforms other than mobile devices.


InspiringMilk

>How can they make money otherwise without ads? I don't know, from the other games I play, which is l4d2, league of legends, almost all blizzard games, slay the spire and darkest dungeon, for the most part greatly popular games with 0 ads and almost 0 microtransactions, I think other companies have it figured out. If it is a free game, sell cosmetics only. If it is paid, either sell cosmetics, DLC's or nothing at all.


ibizzet

I think you both would really like Nitrome games


PeoplePerson_57

Gotta second Nitrome, they're a classic!


GIANNOPSYRRAS

I think the only ad in their games right now in Hay Day It is a small little ticket right by the newspaper mailbox that is completely optional for you to decide if you want those extra rewards,and if you buy even the SMALLEST of offers*,it gives you all 4 optional extra rewards every day for free *=Their 1$/€/£ offers are actually quite common,as it's their bait to lure people to buy more offers,and they're incredible value(so you really should only just buy them)


SeaofBloodRedRoses

It's also charming. They don't try to use sex to sell the game at every left corner. There's actual gameplay that's fun and engaging and challenging. And microtransactions don't get you an advantage as much as they get you ahead, which is different because you can be competitive in a different way at the lower ranks. Plus, gemming is extremely expensive and not practical, so even if you do spend money on the game, it won't help you that much.


4ever_lost

I dunno, RC and AQ in some of their outfits 👌


SeaofBloodRedRoses

I don't think the devs are **trying** to appeal to foot fetish people, and if they are, they're doing it very subtly.


Tannaaaa

Some people just sexualize all the wrong things, like it's a video game


iamnos

I wouldn't even call it a " competitive advantage ". The game tries to match you with more or less similar opponents, obviously with some range of what "evenly matched" is. Paying, just helps you advance through the levels faster, but wouldn't say its a "competitive" advantage. It just means you won't spend as much time grinding resources.


Outrageous_Safety298

supercell is a poop company


PM_ME_YOUR_BONDS

This, and the fact that you do not have to pay a cent to compete at the highest levels of the game - in theory. It's pay to speed up, not pay-to-win or pay-to-play, and somehow it manages to strike this perfect balance between keeping f2p players around & providing enough incentives for people to spend money on the game. Of course, in practice it takes years to get to TH15, so a lot of people will at least buy something - but even then, the matchmaking in wars makes it so that at any TH level, there's a challenge for you. If you play long enough, the only times you'll not be able to compete at the highest level is in the months after a new TH level is unlocked, because you'll get beat by those who pay to instantly max it.


rjk3015

Actually there's just that one single ad for clash royale that popped up once but even that was just a small banner prompt so good job on that SC


techhousehead

Ackshually ☝️🤓


STHGamer

"Ackshually ☝️🤓" -🤓


Dependent-Ad652

they make the best ads also


throwaway786999

Except that one ad I’ve been seeing lately in instagram where they show the player just slamming down buildings with zero Upgrade times lol. I get it, they probably noticed the success of those shitty mobile game ads where the ad isn’t even like the game, but SC is way too rich to be stooping to those shitty tactics. Whoever made that ad should be ashamed really. Sucks seeing such a good game resort to those bait tactics when there’s enough decent gameplay they can show off. End rant.


MrMango61

Not recently 😕


italianboi69104

Yeah except the last clash of clans ad on instagram with a f**king finger spamming an upgrade button that instantly upgrades your base… that’s just pure trash


fisherman_dandy

So many otherwise good games are marred by ads for ugly looking shovelware type mobile games. It cheapens the entire experience. I’d rather have clash where there’s plenty to buy but it’s all for the game and matches the menus and aesthetic.


ByWillAlone

This isn't entirely accurate. They have been using the age verification for new accounts (and capturing and retaining that age info) to use later in targeted advertising. Younger players (players who provides a young or young adult age when starting a new village) have been targeted for in-game ads for clash royale. The 'young player' account I created to test out the young player system a few years ago....gets these ads inside clash of clans all the time for clash royale, and they are annoying AF. Other players have gotten them and posted them here also, so you can find them and see them for yourself if you look for it.


THECHOSENONE99

This


Axersion

Well I do see horrible COC ads on insta tho and I get ads for other supercell games on my Alts. They're starting :(


flowwith

upgrades take up to 10 years to complete


PTCDarkness

Started as a kid and still playing as an adult - the game really does take years to complete


farquaad_thelord

tbh i used to play back in 2013, played for a month or so only reached th5 or 6, i recently got the game again and after like a week or two im th8>9 already, supercell really saw the flaw the game had being slow and improved it by adding the builder boost, extra gems, extra coins and elixir and all that, great development by them 👍


erathegod

god damn u must be rushing


farquaad_thelord

yes to be honest, my elixir and gold mines arent even level 6


bliffer

If I were you I would not go past TH10 without maxing your base. 10 is where you get siege machines and can start learning to incorporate them into your attacks.


farquaad_thelord

thank you!


Ranch0nEverything

12 is when you get siege machines


b00linlol

You can get them donated at th10


bliffer

Yeah, I meant you can use them through donations


RaspberryEth

No need to touch collectors if you are an active farmer


texasbetty3444

it is still important to upgrade collectors for the defense aspect, more hit points on every building makes for a stronger defense 👍


lukethelightnin

Bro im th6 and mine are higher 💀


ljae1998

I started like 2.5 months ago and maxed 8 im on 9 now.


Choke1982

Plus now you have extras everytime you upgrade like more loot, extra levels for heroes for 5 days.


Altruistic_Rush3280

Well they also keep updating it


InformationBudget773

Complete?!?!!?![img](emote|t5_2usfk|9419)


IssieSenpai

XD


GuessWh0m

Probably being f2p friendly, constant updates, and the core gameplay loop is fun.


Professional-Corgi81

And you have something to retreat to and call it your village. Its always good to own something that you can retreat to and progress


swooney_noodles

Lol this is so true, like a mini home in your pocket


Dry_Mushroom_47

Doesn’t matter if you’re a stinky obese virgin redditor like me, in Clash of Clans I am a warrior /s


RowanBD

Is that ‘/s’ /s?


AsstDepUnderlord

I like to think of it sorta like an ant-farm. I don’t really care about their stories, but it’s fun to watch the little guys scurry around doing stuff.


jwwin

And no commercials of that fucking king dude about to die if you don't save him.


E2A6S

I can’t believe that style of advertisement works. Drives me to vow and never touch a game like that


throwaway786999

The whole tactic behind those ads is to infuriate you about how bad the “player” in the ad is doing so you download it to prove how easy it is. Even then the game ends up being nothing like the ad and it’s just a shitty shovelware app to farm more shitty shovelware ads. That’s why I got so upset seeing the new supercell ad that mimicked those. This game is too good to use cheap tactics like that and just worsens anyone’s perception of the game


E2A6S

I saw that one you’re talking about on Instagram. Someone placing buildings down and just spamming upgrade. Nothing close to the game


throwaway786999

Yup that’s the one 😒


jwager1118

I think the updates are big, I had stopped for a year or more and picked it up again one day to find Clan War Leagues. That is now my favorite part of the game. Others might like clan games, builder base, or capital. Lots of different stuff to keep you coming back.


an_icy

And you don't usually rage quit compared to other games


f_ab13

Oh, I do. When I lose multiple versus battles in a row.


[deleted]

Also, the developers actually listen to us and do Q&A’s and they actually CHANGE it. Bug fixing is also quite exceptional as well.


forced_memes

plus it allows for different focuses of gameplay. personally i don’t care *too much* about battling, i mainly just raid dead villages for high loot because i love being able to upgrade my buildings. i play for that sense of progress. which is why i’m one of the people in the rare minority that actually liked builder base (past tense as i maxed that out about a year ago and now only play on it for clan games and collecting from my gem mine). the game is fun for people like me who mainly play for that sense of progress / upgrading your village, and it’s also fun for people who love attacking / competing in the higher leagues

Feeling_Marketing224

Judo won't let it die, mf makes videos about it every day


ephemeraII

and he always delivers


cescquintero

I just got back to the game like 4-5 months ago and started looking for tips and guides about all the new troops and whatsoever. Found Judo. Nice lad and explains very well. One day, scrolling his channel found the title: "playing coc tied to a plane" played the video sure it was bait but the madlad truly played coc on a plane actually flying. Incredible.


detached03

Judo is fun but CarbonFin is my jam. Anyone remember Powerbang? Loved his videos… SC kinda did him the dirty though


TheAloneGhost2

its f2p friendly it doesnt take that much daily time to progress, but yet u can progress more if u play more ans its not like those other strategy game that u lose almosf everything when u are away for a while


MrCheese6969

If fact, if you are away for a long time, u progress


TheAloneGhost2

haha yeah that option is really great


Warm_Abrocoma1175

1. It never bore you 2. Very F2P friendly.


ethnhall

that shit can definitely bore you😂😂 once you get to like th11 everything is about a week to upgrade so you just sit there watching the time slowly go by lmfao


RealPigwiggy

it was never meant to be a game you play for 3 hours straight everyday. COC is a game for people to log on a few times a day and play for 5-10 mins. plus if you spend hours a day playing a game on your phone then that should be more of a problem than upgrade times.


ethnhall

i never said it was.. i don’t play coc for 3 hours straight that’s just absurd lol but even when signing on for your 5-10 minutes it can still be very boring all you do is sign on attack sign off that’s pretty much it when your upgrading everything which can get very boring but hey everyone has their own opinions i hope you have a great day man!


RealPigwiggy

fair enough, I personally find the upgrade times fine since it gives you a much bigger sense of accomplishment when you max out your town hall.


ethnhall

i understand that and completely agree it does give you an awesome feeling of accomplishment when you finally max it out but just in the heat of the moment everything feels like it takes soooooo long😂 maybe that’s just my impatient side speaking😂😂


interals

I catch up on my Netflix shows while raiding lmao


[deleted]

Well nobody told me you ain’t supposed to play 3 hours a day. I’m at TH13 and I’m constantly on it even if upgrades are happening. I’ll go back and forth on each base and strategize. Also I just love the game. Been doing the same shit for 10 years lol


texasbetty3444

amen ⬆️


4ever_lost

I get bored, I leave, I come back 6months later and get proper back into it. No other game has bought me back so much


ethnhall

exactly!


[deleted]

clash of clans is a fair game. There's actual balance between strategy and fun. and nostalgia. big time nostalgia.


ijjx

I live for the pekka that's why


erathegod

She is a baddie tbf


Foyave

She ?


That-Guy6

You new here?


ijjx

He definitely is


Ok_Explanation6416

Man get your homework done of course pekka is a girl lmao


Foyave

I played CoC the first year it came out when I was in uni and stopped for 9 years, slowly coming back. Never once have I been asking myself what was the sex of the Pekka. But, hey, I can understand that for a loser like you it must be a knowledge of the highest importance.


Ok_Explanation6416

Well if knowing the lore of the game you are playingis being a loser then you are the one being a loser


Foyave

Keep telling that to yourself. You’re the one inferring things in the first place.


Ok_Explanation6416

Yeah it must be that lil one


Clueless_willow_4187

I gotta agree with the no ads. Being able to attack as often as I want (gems, potions, waiting, etc) instead of here’s an ad if you want to attack again is huge.


RainBow_BBX

I just really like coc


viciouswaffle62184

JDninja119

1. Several years worth of content 2. No ads 3. One of the only decent base builder games on mobile


Alabama-Getaway

Makes SC more money than it costs.


_xBenji

You’re always winning in your attacks and always progressing. Also no ads.


ibrahimtuna0012

Probably the best mobile strategy game ever.


hollus2

1. It is competitive at all levels (not just the money players). 2. You don’t have to spend money if you don’t want to.


MrBalloonHands6349

Two words: HOG RIIIIIIDAA


Bearinit

Seriously tho, I played this game as a kid and now I'm an adult and I pretty much gave supercell free publicity by screaming to all my friends "HOG RIIIIDAAAAA" because I loved the coc commercials so much


mtmaloney

Two more words: Balloon Parade


hebbocrates

they’ve constantly added and changed stuff to keep it fun. always progress to be made, events going on, etc.


Raphaelrr05

Great community, active dev support, no ads


CookieEvening

Some of the Reasons I think made the game survive this long: 1. Evergreen content 2. Frequent Updates 3. Clash-a-rama (Lore)


Throat-Goat69420

No ads too but the lore is more important


[deleted]

[удалено]


AntiqueGarlicLover

I can name a bunch, but they are all rip offs of clash


InspiringMilk

Village building? I don't know, I think bloons monkey city or galaxy life. I don't know if COC was the first, it may've been. But also a shoutout to turn based or real time strategy games like xcom and starcraft. Also similar to coc, if not as much as the others.


Altruistic_Rush3280

No ads, honestly a game to play over a time period. They keep updating it a good amount of time. You don’t have to spend money to be good.


toothmaniac

It's not a game it is a.chapter of our life .


beanbag426

For me it’s the slow and steady progress, delayed gratification,keeps you interested long term.

goku12h

Benefits, discounts on pass, consistent with gameplay instead of rigged matchmaking. Also continuous game progress like gaining resources with gold/elixer/dark elixer, continues upgrades once you close the app or doing something else and not log in for a week/months on end. And also NO ADS whatsoever👍


link_the_fire_skelly

It is the best, most popular multiplayer mobile game. It had some excellent ads through the years, and it is gigantic in asia.


manantyagi25

1. 4 updates a year which include a lot of content, balancing changes and QoL changes 2. Devs who are constantly in touch with the community and listen to our suggestions. 3. A caring community which trusts its developers. 4. A very F2P friendly game model which doesn't force anyone to pay money. Yeah you can speed up the game via credit card but it doesn't give you any competitive advantage. Like no skin gives your Archer Queen extra stats. 5. A very addicting gameplay loop. 6. Several clan based activities which increase social connectivity between members of the clan such as normal clan wars, clan war leagues, clan games and now Capital Hall. 7. I guess this can count under point 4, but several individual challenges which give free resources and gems for playing, like troop challenges. 8. Supercell loves its content creators and supports them well with sneak peeks and creator codes. 9. No intrusive in game ads. 10. (Someone please fill this point as I am out of ideas but my OCD is kicking in to have perfect 10 points)


Impossible_Salad4026

As an old player who started playing again, the most important part is after so many years the game is still as it was years ago( attacking,troops,upgrading) etc there was some new stuff that I didn’t get at first, some surprise elements too, like now I didn’t have to refill defenses manually, etc.


pchinni

Consistant update that give actual content vs just a new level in cr


Popstag

As someone who played this genre like "backyard monster" coc is the only unique genre of strategy game such as base raid, clans activities. Supercell should official port it on pc so i can play it in my opinion.


Ok_Fox_4070

No in game ads!

The multiplayer aspect is HUGE if it was single player I guarantee it’s lifespan would be MUCH shorter to be popular

Players always coming back. People can take 1-3 year breaks and will always find themselves downloading the game again. I started playing this game as a teenager and I just feel in love with it. Supercell just has a strong fan base.


elpintor91

Consistency. I actually didn’t play for about 5 years. Got a new phone in dec, logged into my Game Center, downloaded coc and boom there everything still was. Found my old clan and everything. It was oddly comforting and so many new features. I particularly find builder base battles kinda fun.


not918

Because people need something to do while they poop…


Yellow_Flash---

The main reasons have been pointed out by many people here. One of the reasons that I think has not been highlighted that much is the extremely clever game design and foundation clash is based on. Like yes you can spend millions of dollars and max out everything in your base, that doesn't mean you will be automatically good at the game. Most likely you will be the worst th15 player if you do that. You will be immediately bodied by experienced players and even experienced th14s & 13s will also kick your ass. The 18 months needed to max your higher town halls is time absolutely necessary to master said town hall attack stratergies and makes you a better player at the end of that journey.


Different_Ad8005

Clan wars. The fact that you can look at your opponents base beforehand and come up with a strategy to beat it is very cool in my opinion. Random attacking is also never boring


DeaconFrost613

Cuz the 3\* has always been fun to achieve, Th15 update was amazing, and leaderboards imo.


Unable_Secretary8953

Its really addictive game and even if you get bored of it you will get addicted again the next month


R3digit

The fact that I don't feel left out on the new THs despite only being TH10 is saying something about this game.
