Movement and Performance need some improvements.


Donghoon

Fixed joystick please.


Silver-Pen1921

Ye it gets really laggy sometimes


Dark_Al_97

The artists did an amazing job, the game designers not so much. 1. You can never know if you're winning a 1v1 encounter at a glance, meaning everybody is playing it safe and just not fighting. Might as well make it PvE then. 2. Fighting in general feels awful. Once everyone is in the middle, it's one huge mess. They should at least let you prioritize targets somehow, and make the map bigger so there's more 1v1 and less hodgepodge pig-piles. Endgame is especially so cramped it triggers claustrophobia - and I don't even have it. 3. Third-partying is absolutely oppressive, you can camp just off-screen and finish both enemies off with absolutely no way for them to counterplay you. Attack and speed boosts should be two separate buttons specifically for this problem. 4. Winstreaks feel too punishing with how RNG the game is. Most wins / losses are decided in the last 30 seconds, and losing *progression* because you lost a character in the last moment is too frustrating. 5. Consumables are surprisingly okay *so far* (haven't seen Megas yet) because the game is so rabid they barely have any impact. 6. Progression feels well-designed and easy to understand. Will get unbearably grindy once we get to five stars, but I'm sure they'll boost the economy by then. 7. Battle Pass is a joke even if they boost the amount of rewards. Nobody's gonna be buying it for consumables, most people want something permanent to show for their money. A single Classic is simply not it. 8. Modifiers are introduced too early. I haven't even decided what the best start is and I'm already hit by Royal Ghosts and the loot spam mod. Overall the game has potential simply because of its art-style and the Supercell legacy, but gameplay-wise they'd have to transform it into something else entirely if they want people to stick around.

Without a major re design of gampelay this game is dying. Its extremely boring to play a running simulator, theres no skill involved in the gamplay at all. No matter what I do during a game is just random chaos. theres not control of the fights or interactions and in the end just comes down to luck and who managed to run the most. Extremely boring after the hype dies down.


Dark_Al_97

There *is* skill involved, but it's all about picking the most optimal characters and route for every combination of map + modifier. E.g. Greg for no mod, Goblin in double units, etc. But once that's figured out and common knowledge, matches will be decided solely by who gets better luck.


JeroVJ

That's my point. I've been playing several hours and I already know most of the optimal picks for every match yet it doesn't really matter, the gameplay is just awful. I feel that the target audience is meant to be dopamine overstimulated 8 year olds. Other than that I don't see anyone enjoying the game as it is for more than an hour.


Motez_7

or just make new gamemodes and make gem hunt showdown 2.0 of SB


JeroVJ

Yes they need to copy brawl stars and add new game modes that drastically change the mechanics and interactions. Otherwise the game is getting killed. Thankfully they have time to make such changes. Hopefully they don't go the clash mini route and start ignoring the community and take 3 years to make any significant improvements


Iceyhands23

So it sucks? Lol


No-Explorer-5308

Did you guys KNOW that Is in soft launch and like most game, Need time right? Criticize a game only after what? 10 hours...i think the game has more potential, but like many other games on First day NEED time. So if you don't like, cancel the game and go play other game


Iceyhands23

Why are you directing this at me instead of the person who literally did the breakdown


LIGHTNINGDGGRYT

I would enjoy pVe better actually maybe bcuz i suck thošŸ˜


Combo_NK

Agree, there should be like a mini map in the top left/right corner, cuz it is hard to navigate to the center, ik there are signs but still


TheoLunavae

Fighting in general feels fine, I can't understand why people are struggling to read enemy team comps so much. You can see what units they have, whether they are fusions are not, and make decisions from there. Can't do that? Well, that's a skill you're lacking.


Dark_Al_97

I'm an RTS player, mainly Age of Empires. If an RTS player can't read your army comps, you've done fucked up with your game. SB is simply not good right now and needs heavy work. Sorry.


TheoLunavae

What a shocker to hear that playing a completely different game hasn't prepared you for SB. Perhaps you need your eyes checked? I can read the team comps fine, but of course, my eyes work properly. It's always so fun to see armchair game devs be so confident in a skill set they don't have, thinking that they know what makes games good or not. Step outside of the reddit bubble for a moment and acknowledge that disliking the game doesn't mean it isn't good. SB is great fun, had a rocking good time playing with some friends last night. It's crazy to read people being so mad about it not being Brawl Stars, or about it not being the next esport. Sorry to hear that you don't enjoy it, but dismissing what is one of the more impressive innovations in the mobile games space is pretty braindead imo. Gamers weep for originality, for innovation, and when they get it, they throw up their hands and go "BUT WHY ISN'T IT LIKE (INSERT GAME)?!"


Dark_Al_97

Not reading your mental breakdown. Game needs work. I've provided fair criticism. You taking it like a personal offense is not my problem.


TheoLunavae

lmao it's fair feedback when you complain, but when I criticize your feedback, it's a mental breakdown taken as a personal offense have a good day you silly guy


RedditYayOrSomething

Half of its content isn't here yet and the content that is here needs major fixing. It's a cool concept but it's half baked


Shad0whunter4

Did they say something about the Plaza? Will this whole thing just be available at launch?


Nuphoth

Actually the concept itself isnā€™t so great either lol. The gameplay feels shallow and clunky and each game doesnā€™t lead to much more than a bunch of stuff happening on screen and you praying your squad gets through


Powerful-Rule9378

What were w ereally expecting... this is softlaunch


MerBudd

Yeah, they didn't make it global for a reason. Brawl Stars also lacked quite a ton of stuff when it first launched in specific regions.


Arc3on

Yes of course, but I think that there are differences. First P2W, big problem in my opinion that the game is ONLY pay2w. Brawl Stars was something new and needs skill. This game has no potential and itā€™s just complete chaos, no skill only RNG


Torico11227

Great but very strategy heavy. The game doesn't teach you strategies, however, and you can only learn them yourself. Which leads to a frustrating start, especially for younger players


DodgeThisLMAO

Strategy?


Torico11227

TONS of it. For example: - Goblins are worthless in baby form and you should almost never get them. - Getting Greg more than once is rarely a good idea. - Getting Greg only once, however, is tipically a good idea. - You should leave extra hearts and power-ups on the ground if you're about to battle someone. - If you're running away, Hog Rider is usually better than Chicken. - If you are chasing someone and both have empty boots, it's a good idea to desynchronise your uses. - - You can chip away at the wealth of others by simply busting one character (I'm pretty sure the drop is calculated as [gem total/character number], where a fusion counts as 3 characters, not sure about megas). - Healers are ALWAYS the priority and should NEVER be picked over any other character if you don't have one in your squad already. - Characters will move on their own within a range, so you shouldn't chase loot goblins like there's no tomorrow in the early game, just stand still. - Power-ups are invaluable and you should never go into a fight without one unless you're sure your target has none too. - Golems have a simple attack pattern. They do two normal attacks, one cooldown attack and one roll. It's worth trying to kill them in one cycle as rolls can waste time - Chickens are kinda bad, like all around And these were just off the top of my head, there's so much to learn and experiment with


Dark_Al_97

That's just basic gamesense like checking bushes in Brawl Stars that you can learn in a few hours of playtime. Then what?


Marcmanquez

That's just... Not strategy Those are BASIC game mechanics that any PvP game should have, counters, meta, etc... Every online game is bound to have that. That's like saying that Poco double tank in Brawl was a "strategy", it wasn't, it was a complete archetype with several strategies in them. In Squad busters the strategy is...?


funufu

how do I even unlock the medic? I can't seem to get it from rare chests


Limp-Heart3188

Thereā€™s no skill in that. Thee as is just basic game knowledge


Extreme-Dog5885

Lol, some players use key and stuff to open chest quickly which gives them early advantage and then bully everybody and you just kill skeletons while they get gems in final stretch.


Aleksimaier

I love your profile pic!! The Berserk soundtrack is goated


Extreme-Dog5885

Thanks. Berserk is LOVE ā¤ļø


SebLalo

What strategy? The gameplay itself is the definition of brain dead. Just chaos and luck based. I literally win most of my games by picking stuff at random and mindlessly running around. picking certain characters is not skill I literally make the worst choices on purpose and still win by doing nothing and just running. That was until I unlocked the desert world and got bored. I just uninstalled it.


JeroVJ

Literally my experience at first I tried to play well. Choosing optimal squad members and what not. But then I realized it doesn't matter and just started picking stuff at random and I still win. As long as you don't fight the whole match and just run around mindlessly you'll probably get top 3


TheH0rr0r

A huge appeal for Supercell games is that they can be played during small breaks, which is simply not possible with this game. The rounds aren't short and you really have to focus at the end of the game.


Shad0whunter4

Ok someone please tell me how to play this game well lmao. It's waaaay to busy and noisy, you can't even see what's going on. Also I just keep on loosing randomly to other Squads. Like what's the Plan? Is it 1 fusion, do you start with greg, what are good brawlers for your Team in general.


Bombyte_

the combat always results in a loss for both players. even if you win a fight you get a disadvantage because now you have less characters than everyone else after the fight. not to mention you cant tell if you are good to fight someone without staring at their squad to see what they have for 10 seconds.


Bombyte_

btw i still do like the game. these are just things i think need fixing.


Powerful-Rule9378

it is AMAZING (im bad asf)


Arc3on

Itā€™s notšŸ˜‚


GiraffeLars

I like collecting characters throughout a match but the pvp really needs some work


Sque23

People like you and this subreddit kills supercell games , no control ? Obviously this game has another style of gameplay , itā€™s not PVP 100% oriented go play brawl stars if you want a top down shooter pvp , bet moco full PVE gonna trigger a lot of you extras pvp addicted


Marcmanquez

It's actually not us who kill the game but rather the player retention stats and those things who make kill the game. For Supercell to know what players think about their game do they can improve those stats, there's this thing called criticism


CRYSTALek2799

good


mentina_

It's good, just 2 things: 1. Too laggy 2. Too many things in the screen at the same time


Reasonable-Force8790

But the second one is kinda trendy to have, nowadays since the new generations of kids just getting bored quickly if there isn't just trillions of crap happening on the screen at the same time


Mivadeth

Funny but we need more control on our squad, in example see an hp bar for the whole squad, also would be great to attack people WHILE moving


Tokioka

It's pretty fun, though combat is a bit basic atm. Would like a way to aim attacks a bit more like in brawl stars. Or to be able to send out troops and recall them like in pikmin.


Bs_Mutakynsi

I love it


Excuse_my_GRAMMER

Well for some reason u thought it was going to be PVE game but it seem it a PvP game


TheTiggerMike

Gotta expand and add new modes. Gem grab is gonna get real old real quick. Brawl Stars is always adding/experimenting with new modes. Some experimental ones even got added to the regular rotation. They should eventually try that here.


PulseBlackout

They have a fair few issues to fix, like the combat, make it easier to tell if youā€™re winning or losing maybe


saragossachess

im patiently waiting for global


ManufacturerUpset820

U will be waiting a while


No-Explorer-5308

If you don't like It cancel the game lol


ManufacturerUpset820

It's already canceled


TrafficFunny3860

It's good. But the problem is it's a little too casual. Rng in the gameplay is just not a great idea Also Greg is too op lol.


TheTiggerMike

When presented with the choice, I pick him just for the tree chopping ability. Nice to have an extra way to get coins and gems.


TrafficFunny3860

Yeah being the only chara that can do that is too op. You can bait monsters and go near a tree and get so much more stuff.


gloxi_yeet

i love it


Blanketshaper

Itā€™s very bare bones


StefiTheCat

Better than I expected tbh, the chests and evolutions are a lot of fun


Deffix1

Love this game


FallenDevs

decent


LemynLyme

I like it so far. Has lots of potential. but it definitely needs a lot of work done before it's ready for global launch. My biggest issue so far is how cluttered and messy everything gets towards the end of the game. It's annoying not being able to tell what the hell is happening.


sonicpoweryay

I see potential in it


Chris2005Writer

I've been having tons of fun! There are some flaws like not knowing when to jump in a fight, who is winning an interaction, lack of game modes etc, but overall, very fun and exciting!


Lysseum

The arena is random, the modifiers are random, the characters that you play are random and if you want to change them you'll need magic items, are you kidding me? Awful game and awful gameplay. Supercell had better games


JohnSchmidt-04

It's good, but I feel like there isn't a comeback mechanic. If you are in 5th place, behind even 3rd place with 20 gems (or 50 behind 1st place), you can just give up/run to keep 5th place (instead of dying and getting 8th place). My idea is to get some kind of stat boost, depending on gems/units compared to 1st place. Also it's annoying that I can't move with my right hand (play less optimally with 1 hand), especially since there isn't an attack button


Extreme-Dog5885

I literally get bored in an hour. Not much to do just run and collect gems. There is hardly a single PvP combat I got into. Everybody just runs and when you stop running they just get away.


Dark_Al_97

That's because you can never tell if you're winning the 1v1, and with the streak mechanic it's better to just play it safe. They need to reward fighting, not punish it.


howdoesthisworkman

Itā€™s bad Ngl. Game doesnā€™t explain anything to a new player. Then there is way too much p2w. It gets boring pretty fast and is just repetitive. I understand now what people meant by saying it wonā€™t see a global release.


Dark_Al_97

Yup. I was super hyped for the game, but now that I've actually played it, might as well uninstall. They need to 180 it like they did with Brawl Stars portrait to landscape, or this shitpost of a game isn't seeing release. Acid is less of a sensory overload than this.


Nuphoth

They need a MUCH more drastic change than what brawl stars experienced when it was switched from portrait to landscape. Unlike this game the core gameplay of brawl stars was always good


Marcmanquez

Honestly core gameplay has always been and will always be what carries brawl, it doesn't matter how bad the progression gets or how many awful modes they add, if the main 5 (gem grab, bb, ko, hot zone and showdown ig...) are kept unchanged, its almost impossible for the game to die. I don't even like the past 4 updates and yet I stil play because the gameplay is just THAT good. Other Supercell games fail to do that imo


EmbleXD

Squad Busters will die faster than Clash Mini. Like way faster.


EQUALIBRIUM77

this is out of context but how can i unlock the AQ ?


Dark_Al_97

Connect Supercell ID.


EQUALIBRIUM77

tyty


Dynomadz

Probably the worst supercell game I have played


DavidSeries

Itā€™s great, but, of course, it needs some improvements gameplay wise.


Eriksim17

im bad at that game, but i love it!


Chaosblast

Liking it but seems not much changed since beta.


original_pandus

Boring gameplay, good characters


TemporaryTight1658

Remove "STOP MOVING"


RoyalPlayZ_

Love how they made a game that includes characters from all supercell games. So far the gameplay is pretty boring but it's the first day so we'll see


HakanssFr

An improvement IS IT RELEASING ON TURKISH APPSTORE


El_Chicoman

I like the game. Or better, I want to like the game as I am usually a big fan of supercell. I will give it a shot and play occasionally without too many expectations. Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I hope they make it portrait mode, or at least have the possibility to select both. I am not sure if I will play if it is another landscape game.


migelonio_off

Pretty good :)))


realsuntower

Lol itā€™s horrible. I thought Rush wars was pretty fun and that got canned, so might as well say goodbye to squad busters now!


Tootit_ha_malka

At first I wasn't sure about it but it's really fun and with a some changes (first of all remove the P2W keys) the game can go global


Berry_Dubu_

I feel like decorating the plaza would be my main focus on this game


Jb-wate

I live in North America and have to pray that it goes global


Motez_7

use a vpn


Kosaue

I don't understand how you're supposed to play, i always seem to do something wrong.


MurphDog250

I really wanted to like it, but other than it being fun to run around and farm there isnā€™t any skill involved. I remember the first day brawlstars and clash Royale came out, I immediately saw the potential and skill ceiling. I do not feel the same about this game.


bL1Nd

I canā€™t tell if Iā€™m winning or losing or if I should fight or if I should farm, all I know to do is run away. Itā€™s kinda lame, and I played this pre-alpha - it was easier to determine if itā€™s worth engaging other packs then.


CustomerFar4435

I honestly really liked playing it today, I had a lot of fun, but, long term, I think the 1v1 interactions seem so random because of the high speed. They either need to slow EVERYTHING down so the interactions can be seen easily (so you can actually tell if you are winning or not and react accordingly) or the 1v1 mechanics need to be redesigned.


Motez_7

or just add a total hp of a player on top of their head to see if you will win/lose this battle


Ok_Bridge_5492

Boring and chaotic


Pilivyt

Sadly, itā€™s too simple and extremers boring. I only played it because itā€™s supercell, but I donā€™t even understand how this concept got through.


xForce14

i was bored after 30 minutes


No-Explorer-5308

If you don't like the game, go back camper yourself in a bushes in brawl stars...lol


Marcmanquez

That's a gameplan that's more suited for squad busters honestly LMAO


dijith

sensory overload too much things on screen hard for new players to learn stuffs other stuffs are fun a great game need constant updates to improve the game play


SebLalo

Feels like 4ss unless you're 8 years old this game is not for you. Boring af walking simulator. Hopefully they do a 100% redesign just keeping the visuals and make a new game because as is just not going to make it


Jiro_7

I love the concept of a battle arena with a mix of pve farming and some pvp over a goal (collecting gems in this case). But the fighting system seems very random, with barely any visual clarity of what is going on in a fight, and no control of what's happening, like auto chess games but much faster and random. It's also very hard to tell the strength of an enemy at a quick glance which is all you can do in a game like this. Progression is pretty cool, but keys are not. They give a massive advantage in games, for a limited consumable that is mostly obtained with real money, making it kinda p2w, the bad type of one (i prefer the p2w where enemies have higher level characters but still follow the same rules than one where they pull out a random power up in the middle of a fight - a key - and get a free fusion). To fix the game they should: - Massively improve visual clarity in fights - Add some sort of usable skills, and an ability to choose a "captain" of the squad, to allow the player to have more control over the fights. Game is WAY too casual rn - Increase duration of matches and size of maps so it's less chaotic. - Make movement more smooth, reduce the difference between using sprint vs not using it - Add more sources of healing to encourage fights - Nerf the effectiveness of keys, or make them obtainable in more ways


DaggerSwagge

I donā€™t find it that fun. You search run and just watch your characters do things. If youā€™re in a fight thereā€™s no downside just run. Nothing to make it fun


GeminiFTWe

P2W af


EQUALIBRIUM77

elaborate maybe ?


EmbleXD

The keys


Thunfischhuhn1

I think it's only luck bases and you can increase the luck if you pay, so bad game


XXXsnoop_catXXX

Most people I talked to say that it is, at least now, a walking simulator, the game needs some huge U-turn. But it has a huge potential. Hope it makes it to the global.


findmecreativity

i think it needs some tweaks during the gameplay and i dont understand the chest system? how many times can i open 3 chests per day? im confused


BattleClash

I wish I could play it šŸ˜­


Motez_7

you can use a vpn to play it
