Supercell has just unveiled a new game in the Clash of Clans (Free) universe, and it’s looking like an intriguing mix of styles. Clash Royale is their new game, and it’s currently soft launched in a number of territories, including Canada and New Zealand. The game combines many familiar Clash of Clans elements with real-time strategy; MOBA-esque elements as you attack other players’ towers and bases; and CCGs, as you use cards with elixir costs to attack your opponents. Supercell has posted a video of some actual gameplay showing off how it all works:
They also have a video interviewing the developers, talking about what went into the game:
Now, while the game is currently soft-launched, it is possible that this never sees the light of day. Supercell has canceled games that were in soft launch before, such as Smash Land, for underperforming. This stinks if you play these games or like the idea of them and never get to see them fully come to fruition. But there’s a lot of game ideas that never reach completion due to not being very good, it’s just that the process is often less public. And Supercell, thanks to having 3 uber-hits on their hands, have the latitude to make sure that they’re producing future hits. But considering that this combines Clash of Clans with MOBAs and card games, and the big PR push behind the game, it’d be difficult to see this one fading into nothingness.
I was pretty excited about this when I first got it on Steam. But to be honest for my tastes it doesn't have a great deal of replayability yet. Obviously it's in Early Access and the game is beautiful. But I would love to see more aggressive enemies like Nuclear Throne. Not to point out the obvious. But that's where these types of games appeal to me. I'm thinking on iOS it will be a bit more addicting or at least I'm hoping it will be as iOS is quick to just pick up and play.
Instabuy! Can't wait for this one
Woohoo
Looks great! Thanks for the heads up!
I'm definitely getting this, but that's gotta be one of the strangest trailers I've seen!
Lol, I'm pretty sure I've seen stranger... Anyways, looks great! I have Nuclear Throne on my Vita, but this looks like it will scratch that itch on my iPhone. Will definitely instabuy this!
Cool stuff but then again, pretty much everything that comes out of OrangePixel is neat. They've really found an interesting niche to dwell in.
oh boy, so to clarify a bit here, the PC release is on the 12th, the iOS+Android release is a bit later (targeting February 3rd). I still have to get it through Apple's Approval process, and they seem to be very busy at the moment so it takes more than a week to get that done.
Sorry for the confusion ! I'm working on getting it on iOS full-time tho ;)
Thanks Dev 😀😀😀😀
Will you be putting it on Apple TV???
I don't have one to test on.. so for now that's a no.. ;(
The game looks cool, but man did it borrow a lot of aesthetics from Nuclear Throne! I mean, the map of how far you've progressed is simply copied one for one. Use some creativity, guys! Make in spiral instead of a line or something.
actually, I copied that from this:

as mentioned in the thread. iOS actually releases on February 3rd.. little miscommunication but it's coming! ;)
