Supercell Abandoned Boom Beach...

This is why Supercell has abandoned Boom Beach...
When was the last time you played Boom Beach?
Yeah, unless you’re one of the few active Boom Beach players left, chances are it’s been a long, long time.
Since its global release in early 2014, the game always stood in the shadows of Clash of Clans, and before long several other Supercell games.
On the App Store, it’s currently 174th in the charts for strategy games, and the story is pretty much the same on Google Play.
Despite amassing over 100 million downloads over the years, the game is in a pretty sketchy situation, and the few remaining players are left wondering what the fate of Boom Beach will be.
In the last 30 days alone, another 170 thousand players have quit Boom Beach, and KZbinrs and streamers abandoned the game long ago.
Last month on Twitch, the game reached just 123 peak viewers. The game’s lost almost all of it’s interest, and at this point there’s no chance of a comeback.
I mean, take a look at this Google Trends Graph, comparing Brawl Stars, Clash of Clans and Boom Beach. That red line right at the bottom? That’s boom beach. It’s never been even close to as popular as Supercell's other games, even on release.
So where exactly did Boom Beach go wrong, and what is going to happen to Supercell's least popular game?
In my opinion, Boom Beach was destined to fail, pretty much from the beginning.
Being Supercell's third global release, it had big shoes to fill. At the time both Hay Day and Clash of Clans were genre defining games at the top of the charts, so whatever Supercell dropped next had very high expectations.
Clearly seeing the success of a multiplayer raid based casual strategy game as being a highly lucrative niche, Supercell decided Boom Beach was going to be the next big thing.
I remember when it came out and we were all talking about it in school.
When my friend first told me about it and tried to explain the game, he said It’s Clash of Clans but with boats.
So, I downloaded the game that afternoon and gave it a try.
And yeah, at first glance, it’s pretty much Clash of Clans with boats.
But I quit the game within around a week of playing at the time,
for two main reasons. Firstly, you could only attack from one direction.

[@raitonxenon]

You ignored some facts: - matchmaking just got overhauled recently. - Boom Beach has its own thing going on, no Boom Beach player would want walls because here you have flares to maneuver your troops(which are way better than walls that cost your life savings lol) - Boom Beach isn't p2w, like wtf? Its true, if you buy a pass then it's a great help, but its still better than the Cash Royale, and still not as p2w as Clash of Clans. Other than that, I respect your opinion. Its just sad that you didn't give the game another try so that at least you could've experienced the game's actual current status. The game's status which you are talking about is pretty much the status 2 years ago. Before the new dev team came.

[@spysmocking4536]

Honestly the new matchmaker isn’t any better and still has some bugs. I am a level 48 player with 650 VP and I’m still getting level 75 and above players and, occasionally, puny level 30 and below players with barely any loot (obviously) Im barely getting any loot right now and my base progression has slowed down massively.

[@raitonxenon]

@@spysmocking4536 the reason you have to fight lvl 75 players is that your VP is high. The new matchmaking prioritises bases that have a level similar to your account, however there's a VP adjustment system: Your VP divided by 10 will be the level of bases that spawn on your map. Yes there are some bugs in the game right now, but once they will get fixed you will have to try to fight bases of level ~65. Or just decrease the amount of your VP with some strategies.

[@alejomontoya9794]

​@@raitonxenonthanks for explaining it for other people. The new dev team has donde nice changes. And it's not pay to win, that's what I like. If they changed that I would instantly quit as I did with cash Royale like 6 years ago because of the huge bs pay to win is

[@neonoir__]

every supercell game is pay2win and always has been, paying for progress is pay to win

[@alejomontoya9794]

@@neonoir__ no, that's different. Pay to win is when you can get stuff only from paying, and not from playing freely. Paying for progress that you can make playing free so you don't have to wait that much is totally different

I recently picked up the game after 3 years .. only changes I saw were magical items and paas

[@EyadKiller-ky2bq]

[@Chris_M10]

Well, the new dev team puts a lot of work into Boom Beach. It gets updated every 2-3 months. Also, they announced that they will release 4 more HQ levels within the next 2 years.

[@Hagurmert]

Yeah they are still updating the game, may not be a lot but more updates still gives us hope.

[@boomstickYT]

Im not gonna lie I don’t particularly like boom beach but the equipment ability things are a fantastic addition compared to clash of clans. It’s my favorite aspect of the game. Being able to redirect your troops or damage specific buildings and recharge your equipment through destroying a base feels like a natural addition

[@danielstar9458]

I swear, up until like 2 weeks ago I didn't even know that this game was still running.

[@NanoNano-tk7ev]

Boom beach was and still is truly a game for hardcore people just like me You get stuck in hq 12 mostly, that’s when things start heating up and you find 600 vp players with overleveled hq

[@alejomontoya9794]

They changed it so you get against players with similar level as you, unless you are way to high in VP, where the game will put you against harder opponents. Love this change

[@Hagurmert]

I am at HQ 22 on my main, another account at 17 now and one small acc stuck at HQ 12, due to not playing much and very low resources. I do feel like the game gets better and better the higher you go up, stronger offense is always more fun

[@markc1551]

I used to be a die-hard Boom Beach player but quit 4-5 years ago. It wasn't because it was particularly boring; only that mobile gaming consumed too much of my leisure time. Therefore, I left the game "on good terms". It's sad to see activity has dwindled so much. I have to take issue with your criticism of the graphics/artwork. I've always thought the graphics were among the best on mobile gaming--I still do. The art style is quite superb, fun, and whimsical, and the game is highly polished, something players of Supercell games come to expect. The problem is most certainly not the artwork or style; that's one of its strong suits, even today. They need some big new ideas, maybe play modes, not a complete change.

[@dddhhj8709]

played it for more than 5 years had maxed out but yeah the game was negelcted like crazy

[@Excessive29654]

The biggest reason why I stopped playing was how hard it was. It's much harder than clash of clans. I liked the game for a while but getting matched with people higher than me just made the game frustrating for me so I stopped. I wouldn't mind going back tbh if things changed drastically but I'm sure it's not going to.

[@WTC1996]

It's because you got too many medals and therefore ranked way too high. The game basically punishes you for being an active player, but compared to clash of clans you can't just easily drop trophies and get in a lower league fast.

[@weeblordgaming6062]

It can be that way for lower lvls but at higher lvls the game is defenseless, proto troops make the game trivial, even more so than root riders did in clash of clans

yeah let me know how that goes. At the end of the day the game makes up a tiny fraction of its revenue, and no matter how much money they throw at it the game just isn’t doing nearly as well as the other 5 games SC has out

[@Seb_Thunder]

Sorry but this video is full of errors... Player since 2015 (10 years in the game) Boom Beach has NEVER been P2W! It's one of the rare games where you can spend your time on this game, For the rest of the game, we were unable to do an FAQ with the game developers, it works up to HQ 30 (HQ 26 currently) and the dev team is larger than that before the start of the game , we have skins and new features to better progress in the game. The ONLY thing I agree with is the graphics, it would be awesome if he worked on that! Anyway, I'm a complainer but who likes his game prefers lol

Graphics? Boom beach has a really good looking “robust to advanced” graphical design, this militaristic style which employs a different approach to graphical design than CoC. But I think I can agree with the scenery which maybe some 3D but not too cartoony could boost the game in this aspect? Not exactly sure how that’d look tho

[@blags2]

it’s definitely tricky to nail the cartoonish / military combo

[@Itsjrob_]

Dam I love boom beach warships ….i hope they don’t take it away 😊

[@weeblordgaming6062]

As some one who used to play boom beach a lot but not much anymore, the reason it gets boring is that attacking people is not challenging, the game is defenseless, people complained that root riders made clash of clans too easy but the proto troops are much worse, there is no chance to defend and the game is less interesting because of it

[@Hagurmert]

That is kinda the theme here, most of the fun is with the offense in the game, attacks are the most fun part (unless you use tanks only) I like to describe this game "tactical" compared to CoC being "strategic". The tactical aspect is more fun to me than the strategic and hence I actually like boom beach more

Boom beach should add clan war type content

[@pankekitoBS]

There is operations ik no the same but 😊

[@Hagurmert]

​@@pankekitoBSops are kinda the equivalent to the clan capital (it plays the same role, given that clan capital works exactly the same way as ops in 3 different points). I do feel like there is still room for more updates within task forces (clan equivalent) and develop some sort of a clan war system. I actually thought of something in my mind that could potentially be very fun. Let me present it; You and your clan get to build your own massive operation base(s), using what you get from operations and/or other clan battles to improve your bases, make them more difficult to crack, expand more space and higher level defenses and prototypes and the task force who uses the least attacks/most damage (buildings destroyed) would win and earn high quality rewards for your task force and your home base. * There could be a few other ways to progress, maybe other things too and balanced matchmaking between task forces (either using total VP, total points of task force or total level of players) and match task forces of same size against each other when a task force is ready to fight other task forces with a click of a button. This is what I had in my head... It feels like a lot but instead of Gearheart generated bases, we get to make our own bases and battle others. This would put a higher emphasis on defense The addition of this would be nice but if they were to add other temporary events alongside this, that could be too many things, just like CoC

[@Brave_Falmingo]

The graphics is the reason i never got into boom beach. It's not that I don't like simple graphics. I play games with ASCII graphics. It's just that the art style is bad

[@Hagurmert]

It is only 1 builder but at least the upgrades timers are only like 1.5 days at HQ 22 for example whereas CoC equivalent (that would be th13/14 where upgrades are like 9 days long. We even have boom pass now, you don't get much for f2p players but you still get free resources, including a free build token to get 1 one-time builder to work on any builder upgrade you want and classified items to skip one entire upgrade for either troops or buildings

[@rakhuramai]

@@Hagurmert hmm coc has 6 builders tho so in 9 days, 6 upgrades would be completed. while in boom beach, 6 upgrades would also be completed in 9 days as well making them effectively equivalent lol. i guess it's more of a psychological effect at play here. yea this also assumes you have the resources to start all 6 upgrades at once but this could be alleviated by staggering the upgrades, which should work out to have a similar efficiency. also, idk if at the higher levels of boom beach you always have the resources to keep your upgrades running non-stop. i think this has made me reconsider coming back tho lol

​@@blags2their best performing game is definitely BS but that's highly due to the newest generations getting sucked into brawl stars. It's very apparent that this is the case and they also make a big chunk of the money BS makes.

You should talk about Brawl Stars. How it became popular again and why it is the most played game from Supercell.

It's because it is the most appealing game to the younger generations (below 17yo so generations after 2007) and the game makes it very appealing to also make purchases in the game so they can make a lot more money. I honestly hate bs but that's just a personal opinion
