So here’s a story that’s kind of weird: Supercell (the developer behind two monumentally successful apps, Hay Day and Clash of Clans) has joined the scores of developers that have cloned Clash of Clans. Supercell’s third game, Boom Beach, is a military game set in an uncharted archipelago… and it draws major inspiration from Clash of Clans. Despite Supercell’s short gameography, there’s precedent for the development team cloning its own successes — Clash of Clans itself is heavily informed by Digital Chocolate’s Galaxy Life. Digital Chocolate, by the way, happens to be the company that a majority of SuperCell’s founders came from. This story has a happy ending though — Boom Beach is both fun and different enough to stand on its own.
