“Boom Beach” and “Clash of Clans” are two of the most popular mobile (MMO) strategy video games these days and if you ask gamers on which of the two is better, the answer would be a toss-up.
It also does not help that both games were actually developed by Supercell, a game development company based in Helsinki, Finland.
The Gun Shy Assassin actually went out of its way to compare the merits of both “Boom Beach” and “Clash of Clans” based on four key factors including build times, matchmaking and single-player, walls, and unit management.
In all four factors, the site favored “Boom Beach” over “Clash of Clans” but it generalized that in terms of ease of playing “Boom Beach” takes the gold, but for those gamers who are in the hunt for challenges and feel extremely satisfied in achieving feats, “Clash of Clans” will be the right choice for them
Temple of Doom Cannons
The latest update to “Boom Beach” has just rolled out both iOS and Android platforms on May 6. Officially titled “The Temple of Doom Cannons,” the updates came with lots of new graphics and tons of bug fixes and gave gamers and enthusiasts of the popular “Boom Beach” more things to chew on and explore in the mobile device video game.
The updates also brought along new enemy for gamers to tear down her war factories and look for more prototype modules. Of course, there is still the traditional enemy in Hammerman. “The Temple of Doom Cannons” also came with daily events that start from 6 in the morning to 3 am the following day.
There are also tons of stuff for gamers to explore and do including the prototype weapons lab, sea and land turtles, and two new super-challenging operations. Gamers can now assemble experimental and unstable prototype defences as well as distract and destroy critters with new Gunboat ability.
Giving players more options
Game developer Supercell also brought significant improvements and changes to “Boom Beach” with its latest update.
In addition to providing the game with Arabic language support and better AI pathfinding, players now has the option to do name change, watch attack replays from the revamped activity log, retreat confirmation, rearrange base easily by swapping building positions, drag and drop landing crafts to switch their order, check the operations stats of the Task Force, and leave a friendly note when delisting someone from the Task Force.
Changes meanwhile include the reduction of the Ice Statue boost from 10 hours to 8 hours, damage increase in flamethrower and scorcher burns, the VP reward boat now comes every 6 in the morning simultaneous with the start of the day’s event, and reduced camera shake from the Grenadier’s explosions.
The update was kind of expected which is typical for the launching of a popular mobile video game so that developers get to impose their will a bit on gamers and also indirectly inform them that they are serving their needs.
A strategy game that combines attacks on other players with attacks against computer-based bases, “Boom Beach” is set in a tropical archipelago with the player situated on an island with deferences and troops.
