Boom Beach

Boom Beach offers building, defending, and raiding fun that players have come to love.

Supercell had hit the app store jackpot when they launched Clash of Clans. The game went on to become a global sensation with over 30 million active players. In an attempt to repeat the success of Clash of Clans with Boom Beach, the game developers intentionally kept the basic gameplay elements identical. Boom Beach offers the same building, defending, and raiding fun that players have come to love. However, it does set itself apart in some ways.

Boom Beach Overview and Features:

This free-to-download game requires users to launch amphibious attacks on island bases of other players. Almost like a cartoon version of the D-day landing, gamers need to lead their troops through enemy beach defenses in order to gather resources. Using the gathered resources, they then need to set up their own island base defense and fend off amphibious attacks from other players. Much like Clash of Clan, players need to constantly upgrade their bases and strategically place sniper towers, mines, machine gun installations and other defensive units. In a surprise twist, Boom Beach does not allow players to build defensive walls. This makes things really interesting as it forces players to think hard about the tower placements in order to successfully defend their bases. The game also involves gathering four types of resources: gold, wood, stone, and iron. Players can collect these by either raiding enemy bases or by investing in resource building towers, which again is a similarity shared with Clash of Clan.

While this covers the basics of Boom Beach, let’s take an in-depth look at the things we liked and didn’t like about the game.

Pros:

Stunning Visuals: Players build their bases on tropical islands bordered by white beaches and surrounded by emerald-blue ocean. Supercell successfully takes it up a notch to deliver a visual treat. Everything from troops units to defensive towers is masterfully done allowing hours of happy gaming.

Winning Gameplay: Going by the popular saying, “if it ain’t broken don’t fix it”, Supercell copy-pastes the basic gameplay of Clash of Clans while adding some exciting new features. The never-ending upgrades and the strategic assaults keep players engaged and addicted.

Fast Building Time: This is one of the best features of the game as it speeds up the base building process. When assigned a task of building a tower, the builder completes it very quickly. This means you no longer need to wait for days for a single tower to be built.

Strategic Raiding: In Boom Beach success of an attack depends a lot on the strategy and not by the sheer number of troops. Allowing you to set rally point flags, the game gives you more control.

Cons:

Slow Resource Gathering: Gathering resources can sometimes be mind numbingly slow. On top of that, the resource requirements for most buildings are murderously expensive. This means you need to continuously raid enemy bases and wait for daily rewards to muster enough resources. You never seem to have enough resources for the next upgrade, which is a feeling that we didn’t care for.

Lack of Social Features: Unlike Clash of Clans, Boom Beach has very limited social features. The interaction between players is all but absent which makes things a bit boring after a few weeks of gaming.
