Could have been great – Gang Clash Review

This game was fun for all of an hour. In the end there are a few things functionally in the game that make it feel more like you are watching a video than playing an actual game. Pros: The characters are hilarious. Hooligans punch and kick wildly. The animations are great to watch. The game itself is brilliant in its simplicity. It’s easy to pick up and play. It can also be challenging at times. Early bosses will have you going back and rethinking your lineup. Cons: A lack of user control. You can’t purchase the units you want outright. It’s the “luck” of the draw or in this games case, the bad luck of the draw. Speaking of bad luck there is a coon multiplier at the end with x1, x2, and x3 respectively. Oddly enough I’ve only gotten 1 x3 and one x2 multiplier out of dozens of matches. Also the price of the random unit addition increases several fold as you add units. A system where better units are more expensive as you progress would be better. A basic hooligan in the first round might cost 100 coin. Later on that same hooligan can cost you thousands. Inflation is tough enough in real life. I don’t need to be reminded of it on my mobile games. ? Lastly as you may have read in other reviews: the ads. Game ends; ad. Want more than the x1 multiplier you for sure have earned? Ad. Want to use said coin to get a new unit? ad. Want a better unit than the basic hooligan that you just payed 2k coin for? Ad! Don’t worry... as a consolation prize they will offer you a free unit, but first... you guessed it! AD! Overall; what could have been a fun and simplistic mobile game experience was undone by perhaps some over zealous programming. It’s worth a play, but you won’t be keeping this one around for long. Roll the ad!
