In this article

Clash of Clans has been a top strategy game for over a decade. We returned to see how it holds up today.

Base building and attacks

Planning a base layout and timing troop deployments is still deeply satisfying. Recent updates added new heroes and more ways to speed up progress.

Clan wars

Clan wars and the clan war league remain the heart of the game. A good, active clan makes all the difference.

Spending pressure

Upgrade timers are long at higher Town Hall levels. The Gold Pass helps, but patient players can progress for free.

What we liked

  • Deep strategy
  • Great clan features
  • Regular updates

What could be better

  • Long upgrade timers late game
  • Steep learning curve for attacks

Our verdict

Still one of the best strategy games on Android, especially with friends. Rated 4.5 / 5.
