Clash of Kings: The West is the latest addition to the popular real-time strategy title, Clash of Kings. This free-to-play mobile game is a tweaked version of the MMO to make it appeal to western players.

Clash of Kings: The West took everything you loved about the first game and made them Western-oriented. Not only that, but it also leveled the playing field in a way that players can be competitive without relying too much on in-app purchases. If you’re interested in the franchise, another game you could check out is Clash of Kings 2: Rise of Dragons.

What makes Clash of Kings: The West different?

Despite its Western landscapes and characters, Clash of Kings: The West retains the overall objectives. You will still build your cities, establish allies with other online players, and ultimately build an empire. However, the playing field is a lot even to keep the players engaged. There are also some additions and improvements that differentiate the game from the original Clash of Kings.

For one, the game is a lot more forgiving when things start to go wrong. Whenever it looks like you are about to lose, the King will send reinforcements so that you can keep on playing. Moreover, if your resources are draining, you will receive extra resources to help you rebuild. However, while this might help fledgling players, some hardcore fans will find it a little too easy.

But despite the tone-downed difficulty, there are other cool things. Players will be excited to know that they can capture and tame dragons. You can even send them after your enemies. Moreover, you can fight Viking pirates and earn a chest of gold—that is, if your army wins against them. Finally, to prevent cheaters from swarming the game, Clash of Kings: The West comes with an official mailbox where you can report cheaters. 

Better and fairer clash

The first Clash of Kings game is already one of the most successful online strategy games to date. However, Clash of Kings: The West may have topped it. The game is a lot fairer without sacrificing a lot of great features from the first title. Moreover, it offers new features that make the battles more impressive. Overall, this game will change your minds about game sequels.
