What Killed the Clash of Clans Franchise?

Clash of Clans and it's sequel Clash Royale are 2 of the most financially successful mobile games to have ever hit the market. Through both their style and charm, as well as their distinct business strategy. But rarely do I ever see anyone bringing these games up outside of a few memes last year. So today I'm going over the story of Supercell, to see what events lead to the 94% decline of what used to be the most financially successful games.

The game has reduced upgrade times over the years and increased ways to get loot.

I started playing clash of clans again last year, i went from TH10 to a TH11, and from my experience it is much dead-er than in it's prime (when i started), but it's still decently alive. I will say tho, since the global chat has been taken away, the game feels more isolated and so it makes it harder to see, meet or talk to other active players. And it also makes it hard to actually guage how dead or alive the player base actually is

That's fair, what killed was always just the name of my take on the "Rise and Fall" format, the titles are simply branding to get people to watch the documentaries as when they're more obvious people are less likely to watch (Trust me, I've tried). I'll keep it the same for now but if I do more videos with the "it didn't really die" vibe i'll switch so that it would work better overall, but having one video of five be called something with completely different branding and formatting just doesn't look nice, and at the end of the day the content of the video matters a whole lot more than the title, so getting one that gets views is more important to get people to see the actual message.

I feel like a major factor to COC being less popular nowadays is the fact that after town hall 11, the game becomes exponentially harder. You can’t spawn lightnings and dragons and get away with it anymore and it requires actual meta armies to be used at a chance of doing relatively well. For the casual player base, a majority of people have busy lives such as jobs, school sports, etc. They don’t have time to spend hours practicing attacks, they just want to get on, upgrade something, attack once or twice and go on with their day.

No it works at most Town Hall levels and in most league's. Even in masters league. But it won't work in champions, as champions league is nearly all dedicated pros. And that's fine, you don't need to be in the highest league to have fun or progress quickly.

[@hedeslightning]

@@_fuushi for me its because of these 3 reasons 1 . NightBase - it was officially the beginning of the downfall of clash of clans imo . Instead they should have added more features for the main base like day : night cycle , weather cycles . People always asked them for a day and night cycle for the main base along with weather features like rain , snow etc . Instead they added a whole new base which didn't quite succeed and eventually lost it's hype 2 . They made it into a battle royale game with the rise of battle royale genre - Base skins , seasons only made the game worse . 3 . Game is old - Be honest , the game is now at least 10 years old so eventually most of the players grew up and out of it including me . I started playing in 2016 when i was 12 years old and now I'm 19 and Don't find the game quite interesting as before because of the lack of good updates . Most of the games die after a while , specially online games . Only a very few amount of games last even 10 years after the release like minecraft and gta games . So most of the players grew out of it if I'm being honest

Clash of clans isnt dead, the thing that is dying is clash royale with the recent updates 💀 Also, i find clash of clans is more just paying to progress faster, you cant technically use it to win since you usually get matched up to people of similar levels (town hall usually) Clash royale is 100% p2w, as the interactions matter so much in the game. People upgrade cards so fast that it forces you to try to upgrade ur cards faster, usually resulting in paying money.

I've argue its the magic items that provide insane value to a player to the point that Engineered Rushing a base (This means upgrading All collectors, Barracks, Storages and Laboratory to unlock all troops including super): can take up to two years to fully max out. The game is still very pay to win, at least in the competitive scene. This is because a player who gems to max once an update starts has more time to test out the new content and see what does/doesn't work.

[@chillstoneblakeblast3172]

The main reason Clash of clans dwindled out is that Supercell, at the peak of the game, did not release new content for a huge gap in their peak era. Town hall 10 through Town hall 11 was the peak of the game but updates were few from what I only imagine being because they believe the game was so successful that they found the ultimate balance, which quickly backfired since they later found out they have peaked. Nowadays,these town hall levels feel like you are barely starting the game. I've actually replayed clash of clans starting last year and I think the game is way more fun than it used to be due to all the new content such as Clan Capital and Magic Items that help patch out a rushed base.

I have researched the Clash of Clans Clone games, I have Twenty-two examples, and almost all of them have their servers permanently shut down as of today. Only two remain alive: DomiNations, and Castle Clash. And both are suffering from "Feature creep" (the game has too many features and too much content)

[@diamondcrafter78shane68]

I agree with this. I remember paying a lot of money on DomiNations because I downloaded it on a GameTame offer. I got addicted for months then stopped playing.

[@caio5987]

I came back to the game after 3 years away and I noticed that it’s much faster to upgrade now They are now more generous in giving you items that upgrades things instantly as well as giving us an extra builder However I have noticed that most of the clans out there only have half of the players actually active, with the rest either semi active or not at all

[@coggear1135]

That's bc after town hall 10 everything cost 10 days to upgrade... Why tf would I be online constantly when everything takes DAYS to upgrade?

For me this game died when they removed global 🙃 many friends left the game , abandoning clans 😭

[@paul5475]

What I really love about COC is when I met new people by joining to new created clans where I became the co leader. I've found my clan from the global chat, I am just a low TH that time and I became a Co Leader whereas one Co Leader was so upset for me being a co leader. It was so fun when the leader defended me. I was into the game because my relationship to that player. I learned a lot from him etc. Until I stopped playing COC for a year then I've found out that he also stop playing. It was sad and I found new freind with a new clan. He is also the Co Leader and I've learned a lot from him and I constantly recieved donations. Unfortunately I stopped again, when I decided to play COC again for almost 2 years. I was super upset! When Global Chat is not available anymore. I couldn't find new freind and clan.. Basically Supercell don't want players to buy and sell an account. They wanted players to spend gems or money to create new account and upgrade very fast. Unlike other online games, global chat is a nuisance, but for COC it's damn part of my gaming experience that is one of the best mechanic that the COC had.

[@agentmanface6255]

I hate these types of videos blaming video game companies for a decrease in popularity. Supercell is one of the better gaming companies who listen to what their players want, just look at the brawl stars team, saying they wouldn’t rework a feature until 2023 but reworking it early because the players wanted it so much. And clash of clans isn’t dead. It gets quarterly updates. These types of videos are so stupid lol.

[@hamada3ido125]

interesting story, glad they lasted that long.

[@BLET_55artem55]

And they're still doing great

[@umutmemis740]

Answer is nothing if a game isnt popular as before doesnt make that game dead

[@peepnog]

babe wake up, new T3rr0r vid just dropped

[@MagnonOka]

the player’s halls became too strong, and i was playing just for fun but after hall 9 the game became too hard to play and just not fun to play

[@cheesewizard0727]

True. One of the main reasons I quit is because it just got too complex

[@thedoomslayer2416]

How ironic is it that it started to be way more active prior to the realizing of this video, man I wish clash of clans wasn't so p2w, nonetheless, it is a remarkably optimized game overall. I am glad I subscribed to your cahnel, when you posted that "Swordigo is a Forgotten Masterpiece ",video.

[@BLET_55artem55]

CoC isn't p2w, not at all. It's the most f2p friendly game out there because the only advantage it gives you is simply saving you time. You won't be able to dominate noobs because it only matches you with players ±1 th lvl of your. And getting raided less isn't that big of a deal

[@BLET_55artem55]

@¿po!uarad and for trophy pushing you can get literally 3500 gems

[@thedoomslayer2416]

@Hal 9000 I know, and I like the game, but the structure of the game is made to be pay to win, because It would literally take you 8-10yeaes to max.

[@FloeticsPH]

My Top Reason for Playing CoC is because I've been playing a FB game called Backyard Monsters and it's basically that but improved on in every possible way though I do wish CoC took that one defence structure from BM where you put limited space for troops in a Bunker and the troops in it will defend Ur base though in hindsight that's just how the Clan Castle works now.
