If you’re unfamiliar with a strategy game called Clash of Clans, one of the most popular strategy games for iOS and Android, just google it or download this game to your iOS or Android devices. You’ll most certainly love this game. But if you were a fan of it and just want to have the same experience with a new game, well, let’s take a look at Lord of the Guardians, a clone of Clash of Clans created by Singapore-based DreamRocket.

Like Clash of Clans, Lord of the Guardians lets you build a village, train troops and then lead them to battle against NPC villages and real players’ villages for loot. Both games rely on how much you destroys the enemy’s base and how much resources you could plunder in favor of your further building and upgrading of your own village. Ultimately, you climb up the leaderboards!

Compare DreamRocket’s effort to Supercell’s Clash of Clans, the shortcomings are clear. First of all, Lord of the Guardians are not detailed in graphics. As you can see, the models of units and buildings look blurry. Second, I did enjoy Clash of Clans’s music both in village view and under combat condition. It was just exciting and fits perfectly with the game. But Lord of the Guardians is not that rich with what you are expecting from a warfare-oriented game.

However, Lord of the Guardians is not completely similar to Clash of Clans. It features a fantasy story, and richer single-player campaigns (Normal, Heroic and Legendary). This setting appears to remind you of Samurai Siege, which deals with the same richer single-player campaigns. But Samurai Siege’s single-player campaigns are closely associated with the unlocking of units, buildings and missions. Lord of the Guardians is just the opposite.

Other parts like player’s ranking, Clan or Guild Ranking, consumables and rewarding work the same way as Clash of Clans and most of other similar titles.

After 30 minutes into the game, I just want to say Lord of the Guardians is an exact clone of Clash of Clans with small changes. It did not grab and hold my attention from its first few minutes to the moment I left the game. Perhaps I have already known how such a game works and unconsciously compared it to Clash of Clans.

However, DreamRocket, the developer of Lord of the Guardians, remains young and its first game may be just to test the waters. Anyway, the game is just a little sloppy and familiar.

Note:

Lord of the Guardians is currently available for limited countries in Southeast Asia, so you may not get this game on the US App Store. As far as we know, it can be downloaded in New Zealand, Thailand, Singapore, and Malaysia.
