It’s hard to believe Clash of Clans came out in 2012 because it still feels so fresh. This epic strategy base builder is anything but retro, it’s a massive titan that has stood the test of time. When you join the international fray, you’ll quickly want to become the fiercest chieftain in the land.

What we love: It’s your job to build and upgrade your village, designing it with a sophisticated defence system that can withstand attacks from nefarious goblins or marauding foes. You’ll also want to build an unbeatable army so you can raid other player villages for precious loot.

Quick tip: Resource admin isn’t as appealing as sending barbarians and wizards into battle, but your gold and elixir reserves are the bedrock of your army and village. Keep your mines and elixir extractors upgraded to be ready for any challenge that comes your way.

Meet the creator: If you like Clash of Clans, you’ll love developer Supercell’s other strategy games, such as the frantic fights in Clash Royale, the battle royales of Brawl Stars or the team scraps of Squad Busters.
