OPINION: A Clash Royale addiction sweeping through students at Dixie High

I have the game and have found myself raging, deleting the game, and re-downloading it three separate times.

A video game designed and developed by Supercell back in 2016 is coming back and is coming back stronger than ever. 

Clash Royale, a game developed by a company called Supercell, has been taking over teenager’s phones. 

It’s an addictive game designed to keep people interested in all the fun aspects of the game. The cards are all different and unique but there are also cards that harshly counter them. When games get super tough and you win, the adrenaline makes you want to play another match and before you know it, you’ve spent hours on the game but it’ll never get boring for you.

Clash Royale is a game where the player builds a deck of cards with only eight cards and they have to try to destroy the opponent’s towers, the more games you win, the more trophies you get and the more you climb up the ladder of arenas getting more and more cards but the games get even more difficult. 

Games get intense, games get brutal, some who lose get mad and rage, others delete the game but find themselves downloading it again and again and again. The consequence of being addicted to this incredible game is that sometimes you lose several games in a row. Losing that much might tick you off and like myself, might end up breaking several devices because of this game.

But why is the game so addictive? I have the game and have found myself raging, deleting the game, and re-downloading it three separate times. The game has so many fun features. The cards, the emotes, the skins, the winning, the losing. It’s all a cycle that Dixie’s students have fallen for many times.
