Pluvion: Star Clash

This game caught my interest due to its similarity to Star Craft (at a glance). Believe me it is nothing like it. Extremely repetitive, you only play against bots who have the exact same losing strategy every time, and equally same repetitive strategy for players to win every time (banshees). They are obviously leaning on some pop culture classics to grab people’s attention, but in game this product is awful. Don’t Bother, or do, but don’t spend a dime and get bored in a day or so.

Great game just need more gold to progress. Always have cards just never enough gold.

I saw this advertised on Reddit and thought I’d give it a go. The inspiration from Starcraft is pretty obvious, which is kinda cool I guess, but there are just some glaring flaws left in this. 1. Workers CONSTANTLY block one another. Honestly I feel like it should be updated to allow workers to phase through units, and rebalance the amount of crystal they bring in to account for that. 2. Crystals can only be returned at 2 (maybe 4?) spots, centre top and centre bottom. This leads to why issue #1 is so bad. There’s also massive traffic jams. If workers could return anywhere on the base, it wouldn’t be such an issue. 3. The game isn’t online only. I’ve tested this multiple times. No matter what rank you are, you’ll always find an opponent in about 5 seconds... even when on airplane mode! Yup, your opponents are mostly bots. I think I might of played against a couple humans, because it seems to prioritize real matches, regardless of rank. So congrats! You got to play a human, now prepare to be stomped by someone 200 points higher than you. 4. Issue 4 wouldn’t be such an issue if the bots weren’t laughably easy. All you have to do is the bare minimum against their early aggression, rush eco and starport (when you have it) and banshee spam. It’s a win every time. 5. And the worst issue of them all... there’s an ad after EVERY. SINGLE. MATCH. Seriously guys. I know you like money just like the rest of us but this is ridiculous. Overall, it is a fun little RTS, and I do have to praise it for its charm, and for the actually good microtransaction system. You can’t pay to open chests faster, or get units that far outclass your opponent, so you don’t feel much pressure to spend money (which is probably why those ads are so constant). If they fixed some of the issues I presented, it might be worth buying a small purchase just to get rid of ads, but right now the game doesn’t have enough (nor the player base) to make that worth while.

Game is overall fun and and has interesting strategies and tactics but the wait time for chests are pretty absurd, 3 hours for a chest that gives you like 1-2 cards of 3 different cards when you need 20 of the same cards is pretty dull

Awesome game but one button doesn’t react

There is no way to check unit parameters, such as health, attack, etc. They are displayed only during an upgrade process. There is no way to remove AD. I do not want to write something with negative emotions here, but that tiny button for closing an AD window… A control of additional buildings and units is bad. It looks like the developer is in the “need more gold” mode and does not care much about the quality of the product.

First, I love this game. It’s fun and a good thing to pass time with but there are bugs which are killing the game for me. 1) Trophy / matchmaking I’ve noticed some issues with matchmaking and trophy count, first with matchmaking I find myself going against people who are much weaker than I am and with underleveled units while it’s not an issue for me it can be infuriating for others who are just starting out. And for trophies I’ve noticed multiple times that my trophies were reset, I was in the top 25 of the leaderboard but I’ve been reset twice now, it’s quite frankly incredibly frustrating because I’m trying to play the game but I can’t progress forwards so what’s the point of playing? 2) Pathfinding Now in regards to Pathfinding it’s only with workers, on maps with a lot of obstacles or on the maze map workers have a hard time finding how to go to select places, they also get snagged on buildings and I’ve had my entire mineral line get caught on my CC, thus I lost the game. Other than those two I don’t see that many major bugs, I absolutely love this game and I want to see it grow, there’s just a bug here and there that tends to get in the way of the players.

First of all I think you should be able to open more than one chest at a time. Only being able to stack 4 and then having to wait 3 hours is kinda a lot. Also does upgrading workers do anything For collection rate? Fun game though! Good potential Oh and I understand wanting to make money but these ads are waaay too intrusive. Would be four stars if not for that
