Apple has released the official results of its Game of the Year awards for iPad, iPhone and more. Possibly the biggest category, the iPhone Game of the Year went to developer Supercell's head-to-head strategy battler, "Clash Royale."
"Clash Royale" has players challenging off against each other through dropping cards from their deck to a battlefield and these cards transform into units with several abilities. It is a free download although players can spend money to enhance their deck so they can face off better players with improved cards and this leads players to spend more cash on cards to improve their deck.
According to Apple, "Clash Royale" is the best game that surfaced for iPhone this year and this means that it put Niantic's "Pokemon Go" behind. The location-based game was the sole mobile game to outgross "Clash Royale" on iPhone but regardless its success, it still didn't make to Apple's iPhone top ten games.
Venture Beat has the list of Apple's full Game of the Year including iPhone top ten games and these are "Clash Royale," "Reigns," "Inks," "FIFA Mobile Football," "Klocki," "Rodeo Stampede: Sky Zoo Safari," "Pktball," "Snakebird," "Twofold Inc." and "The Trail." Moreover, "Severed" is the iPad Game of the Year, "Riptide GP" is the Apple TV Game of the Year and "Field Day" is the Apple Watch Game of the Year.
"Clash Royale" is a freemium mobile strategy game developed as well as published by Supercell, which combines elements from multiplayer online battle arena, tower defense and collectible card games. It was released on March 2, 2016 worldwide.
"Clash Royale" earned positive reviews where TouchArcade's Eli Hodapp called it absolutely phenomenal. Harry Slater of Pocket Gamer scored the game 9/10 while players gave an average score of 4.5 out of 5 on the Google Play Store and 4 out of 5 on the App Store.
