In
Clash Quest
, you’ll go through a series of levels in the form of
undiscovered islands
with your plucky group of playable characters. Old in-game assets and classic mechanics, make a
comeback
here and you also get to strengthen your character roster again to defeat powerful enemies.
Something a little bit new
The premise of
Clash Quest
is a bit similar to the developer’s other games but gives it a whole new spin with the
turn-based combat
. At each level, you have to face off against enemies and obstacles in a way that feels
similar to tower defense
and base conquering. You’re given
a set amount of troops
lined up in grid formation. If you lose them all, you fail the level.
The key to winning is to strategically have your troops attack whenever they’re next to
copies of themselves
—either on the same row or column. Deploying your units this way starts a
combo attack
with a damage multiplier. They’ll
only attack once
, though, and will then disappear off the grid. The remaining troops will move to the front afterward and new random units will fill in the blank spots from behind.
Similar to the other
Clash
games, your characters have
different abilities
and can be upgraded to become even stronger. You can also get items from rewards that can be equipped to make them more powerful. However, while this game offers a refreshing take on this franchise, the main drawback here is that it has a
long energy refill downtime
compared to most mobile games and even the other
Clash
games.
A standout Clash game
All in all,
Clash Quest
is a
great expansion
to the popular and addictive
Clash
universe—especially with its
unique strategy gameplay
mechanics. Not only does it offer new features, but it also brings back beloved game elements from the franchise. However, its long downtime for energy refills can take the fun out of the experience since you have to constantly wait just to continue conquering islands.
