It's free
Free games have been the rage since the rise of mobile gaming. No cost access to free gaming apps saw the emergence from oblivion of Angry Birds and the most recently, the Flappy Bird. The latter even propelled its author to 15-minutes of fame and modest amount of financial success. It is projected that free games and free apps will continue to dictate the pace and trend in the mobile gaming world.
Simplicity
Simple and straightforward are the key words why the COC quickly caught on mobile gamer. This is the same template seen with Angry Birds and Flappy Birds - users can play and enjoy the game by just tapping mindlessly on the device screen.
But simple as it is, the Clash of Clans has the unique texture of strategizing that allows for the building up of excitement - among the elements that get gamers totally hooked.
Loveable characters
The Clash of Clans is basically a war game, in which one group is trying to outdo its opponents that results into violent skirmishes. But this fierce concept was tempered by Supercell by incorporating cute characters into the game - adorable enough not to be loved by players.
