    I know I said I'm wary of a lot of Clash Royale clones coming, but this and Star Wars Force Arena look legit.

    Try to be excellent to everyone you meet. You never know what someone else has seen or endured.

    First everyone was cloning WoW formula then there came MOBAs then Clash of Clans and Clash Royale and let's not forget Collectible Cards and of course all the Diablo clones.

    Is this the Clone Wars then? :)

    I love clash royale and I would hate to start over from the beginning. But after getting to 4400 trophies this might be a breathe of fresh air. Looking forward to it!

    Having a mobile game playable on PC is a + for me b/c I like mobile games but dislike playing on my phone or tablet.

    I'd give it a 1/10 and barely that,just another cheap low budget game to further flood the market.

    What happened to large in depth quality games, i would expect something like this 30+ years ago.Today in 2017 i expect to see devs utilizing DX10/11 libraries,high end physics,top notch graphics,tons of in depth systems.

    3 lanes to waddle down and a bunch of Hero's to buy in the cash shop,welcome to the new age of Cash shop gaming.Sigh...are there any quality developers left out there?Way back in around 30 years ago when i got my first PC,i had high hopes,i really thought the game industry would skyrocket,technology would take right off,now i see games that should be show cased in a museum,1980's tech here we come.

    Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.

    Catering to a larger audience. Remember when playing video games labeled you as a nerd? Now you can't find a person under the age of 40 that doesn't regularly play a video game of some sort.

    so why don't you install the emulator then on your PC? Ii recently installed MeMu (google it) and Ii'm quite enjoying myself with some casual android games (mainly StarWars and Marvel ones and also the new Taichi Panda) while doing other stuff on machine or watching youtube.

    Just make sure you uninstall or disable MS Hyper-V so that emulator can utilize virtualization for some crazy performance.

    Might not be the most mind blowing looking/functioning product, but it does look more fun then sitting on a forum complaining about every product instead of actually enjoying any of them.
