Welcome to my Rush Royale review! It is based on my 2 years of gameplay!
Rush Royale is a free to play, addictive, puzzle, merge, tower defense game. You move your units around and merge/upgrade them in order to stop the enemies from getting to the exit/gate. Play PvP or Coop Dungeon with a friend but don’t let them through! It sounds very simple but this game has a lot of depth to it!

- Explain the Crafting System better with a tutorial
- Remove “toxic” cards/units like Shaman from PvP
- Don’t spam popup ads when we log in
- Shorten the time required to complete a Dungeon
- Group the clans in Tournament by timezone
- Add way to remove inactive Clan Leaders
The Verdict: 9/10
I have been playing Rush Royale for about 2.5 years, it’s very addictive!
