Archery Clash‪!‬ 12+

I found this game from an ad that was shown in the middle of a Backgammon game I play. I liked it so much I immediately paid to remove ads between rounds. There are still voluntary ads you can watch to double your prize money/gems/etc but I skip those. Once you figure out the “physics” of the game, you can become quite good rapidaly. Within 24 hours (like most, I assume), I’d already made it to the top arena “Heaven”.

Improvements: I’d like to see the developer add a little more variability into the game play like perhaps wind impacts, or earthquakes shifting the vertical levels … basically anything that made the game just a bit more challenging.

And like many have said on Reddit, the developers should have us all playing each other (real humans), not the made up (too easy) AI opponents in the game. Still, I can’t quit playing this. Great stress reliever at the end of the day.

Great fun and a lot of laughs at first when you see your competition with an arrow in between their eyes or an ax sticking out of their chest. Most of the locations have about four set positions that never change and you quickly memorize the angle needed to get a headshot every single time. This made me quickly realize that I’m not really playing against anyone else. Another giveaway that you’re not playing against real people is that you can wait 15 or more minutes in between taking shots. There’s no way other people are sitting on the other end waiting for 15 minutes to take their next shot. They should make this game more like the billiards games that are out there which have a timer and if you don’t take your shot, you lose your turn. The leaderboards are also bogus as I’ve seen others write in their reviews. I end up at the very top of the leaderboard within minutes while everyone else takes the full four or five days just to reach rank 10 and never actually get through the whole length of ranked 10. For some reason, I am still playing, but it’s really just to max out my gear and then I fully expect to lose complete interest at that point unless they make some major changes.

Pro’s : the game is fun, not hard to learn and you can advance without spending money. I did spend just enough to get rid of ads. You can still watch ads if you want extra money and gems so it’s at your option. They offer little challenges and contests regularly that will get you better gear. It doesn’t take long to have way more in game money then you’ll ever need.
Cons: you get to a point where there is nothing more to accomplish rather quickly. I started playing after I had to have surgery at the end of July and I am the top spot on what looks like a leader board. It makes it look like you’re playing against other players but you’re not really. I’m sure on someone else’s game I’m not at the top. It gets too easy, they have head shot competition and I win every time and it always looks like other players are going to catch up but never do. It’s fun at first then gets boring.

I would like to see some updates, an expansion, new challenges just to keep it interesting. All in all it’s a fun game but you’ll lose interest fairly quick.
