Clash Royale feels genetically engineered to be a hit iPhone game, with all of the expected but still annoying free-to-play roadblocks that entails. So my expectations for Clash Royale, Clash of Clans' successor from developer Supercell, were not high. I'll admit, while I understand why that game's mixture of city building and mild strategy is profitable, I never found it very fun. And it's the kind of runaway success that inspires hordes of imitators, much to the chagrin of games critics like me who prefer to sample a wide variety of experiences. It's a free game that rakes in more money than most AAA blockbusters-enough money to produce elaborate Super Bowl commercials.
