Of progress measurability we use social mechanics. But the speed of progress is very player-specific The main goal for a player in these type of games should be to progress as fast as possible. Social elements are crucial for success of a freemium simulation game. I believe that, again, due to the redesigned battle mechanics, adding social gameplay elements typical for the genre isn't that straightforward There are no guild structures, no interaction between friends, no collaboration features, and no means to communicate with other players. Perhaps the most interesting missing component in Boom Beach’s current version is that it lacks almost any social gameplay elements typical for the genre. This turns Boom Beach currently into anĪwesome single player game with a lagging social game. This leads to players avoiding the punishing PvPĪnd instead concentrating on the rewarding PvE. Player has in-consumable troops, even an unskilled player can win half a dozen battles during one session. There has been surprisingly little amount of updates during soft launch ofīoom Beach and the main focus seems to still be around PvE instead of PvP.īecause the AI bases are relatively easy to destroy and the Because of all these factors, designing defenses of your base tends to be quite unimaginative. A design intensified by the fact thatĪttacks from other players can come only from single direction.īattle design also restricts creative home base design, as the HQ is the only building players needs to Loses his troops and doesn’t get any loot in return. Situation where failed attacks result in purely negative consequence as a player So, instead of tower defense, the battleĪctually follows game design of capture-the-flag games. The main issue with the game’s battle is that the only way But, despite looking and feeling great, theĭesign for battle is actually the most troublesome element of the game leading to many unexpected issues. Unlike in Clash of Clans, attacking doesn’t consume your deployed troops unless They give players justĮnough control to make the battle tactical, but keep the gameplay at largeĮnough scale so players don’t need to micromanage the battle. Personally I love Boom Beach’s battle mechanics.
Finally I will discuss opportunities, which Boom Beach has not yet seized. As the game is still in soft launch phase during writing of this post, I'll also pay attention to elements in the game that will most likely be addressed before global launch. In this post I will deconstruct the game and pointing out the key core differences between Clash of Clans and Boom Beach. But despite several similarities at the core Boom Beach is a very unique game, which creates some unique hurdles.
In many blogs and posts Boom Beach has been mistakenlyĭescribed as Supercell’s own Clash of Clans clone. , company’s likely new global title has been crushing it in the Canadian App Store for 2 months now and its safe to say that fans and the game industry are waiting for the game’s global launch. It’s been well over a year since Supercell last launched a game globally.
