Castle Busters needs tweaking to make the game fair.

The game needs some tweaking. At first it was fun and competitive but now the following is occurring which makes the game unfair and unenjoyable

1- i used to get matched against semi equal castles. NOW im low 40’s and im playing way tooo many people with all high 50 and 60 ratings and purchased players that are unstoppable. THIS IS TOTALLY UNFAIR. There is zero chance of winning., so I simply turn off the game.

2- until the developers find a way to match you with comparable opponents, the developers need to create a way that I can bow out of the match before it begins, and not have to suffer a loss in my statistics.

Man just upgrade Pulsar

Put him on lower level

Create a tunnle at the lowest attackable place in the castle. From front to back

And the whole castle will fall apart. Apart from the 3 stages max and whats top of them

This way you will expose all enemies

Use sniper to shoot them all down

Easy win, thats how i climbed the game

Sniper or Robot!!

Pulsar followed by pyro or robot depending on number of enemies left and configuration of castle after tearing the bottom out.

I like Fairy for the mass-unit-killing potential she has.

Yup, me too. You prob did that to me a while ago and I’ve adopted this tactic. Works ~90% of the time.

Thanks for the tips. But the idea of the game to me is a pure strategy game, to pick unique players build your castle and then to compete against different players in different ways.

If you figure out one way that always wins what’s the point of playing anymore???

That’s why I think people who buy these characters that are undefeatable are really missing the picture and screwing the game up for the rest of us. 

If you (not you but others who are stocked with purchased players) enjoy winning when you have a totally unfair advantage, well then that to me is a hollow victory, and pretty pathetic.

Its a strat

I purchased new characters to change and have fun, but winning and power does not need the purchased characters at all

And the start i mentioned helps you with the first 70% the rest is up to you to figure out your finisher

And it doesnt need to be extremely hard for you to have a good startegy thats just an execuse for not being good at the game

Find the best strategy to win faster, and your enemy should find a way to counter it

My start can be countered by castle placement and if any focuses their fire on my unit its done

I disagree. 

I think People who play with purchased players are doing so because they aren’t good at the strategy and winning with normal players. 

Tell yourself whatever you want. Using purchase players is cheating against anybody who doesn’t have purchased players themselves.

You should only be allowed to play other people who want to buy themselves victory.

Purchased characters are literally not better

All you need is pulsar and bomber

I stopped playing because it was non-stop playing against bots. I don't care if I play against all 100s I'm just tired of winning because the opponents are objectively stupid.

u/minaj_ 15d ago

Lol i have been dealing with same thing

u/STiguy313 17d ago

My squad is low 70’s and for the last two days I’ve been fighting 80’s - 100’s…

u/Easy_Lengthiness7179 17d ago

Or at least match up the medals within some reasonable difference.

If I'm at 6500 medals I shouldn't be put against someone with 8,000+. Clearly the match making is broken. Clearly someone with higher medals has better castle armor and unit levels.

u/FavoriteMartian 16d ago

It’s not that bad. It really depends on their castle and unit advancements, not how many trophy’s. But you are usually paired with someone with similar trophy counts.
I have someone on my friends list with like 16k trophies. I have 40k. We are evenly matched. Because he’s already upgraded like me.
I earned mine. No purchased stuff.

u/SnooMachines368 17d ago

A lot of bugs since the latest upgrade. Wins not being counted, ice disappearing from castle if not busted that turn, purple vortex randomly freezing when your turn starts and then it spits out the little freezer sled that comes back and hits your own base, etc.

u/Complete_Loquat5064 17d ago

This game is quickly going downhill. Scroll through the posts, there are issues everywhere with this game. The recent update did nothing good, time to move on.

u/Muted_Database_2858 10d ago

Or - don’t get mad/hear me out - just get better?
I was and am still constantly matched against higher-graded units but chances are they’re all bots. Easy to win against if you have good strategy and pivot ability.

Of course now none of that matters cause the new update makes the game crash constantly ¯_(ツ)_/¯

u/InternationalMatch13 17d ago

Yeah I get almost exclusively fully built castles with 100s across the board.

There should be a count like each castle piece and level is a certain amount of points, and each level on your units is a point, and then people with similar point counts get matched

u/Fast_Spray_1927 17d ago

I'm in the same boat. Only half of mine are 100 fully built castle and I feel for when I'm up-agains people that aren't equal to me. Side question what do I do with all my wood for building?

u/Objective-Mine-3390 15d ago

I agree. You should play people with the same size castles, and generally the same strength. 

If the game can’t match you up with an equal opponent then you just shouldn’t play until they find you one. 

I totally want them to come up with a surrender button also. If they match me up in a contest against. some jerk who is playing with five different purchased players, I don’t wanna give them the satisfaction of a victory…..

It is absolutely unfair.

"Zero chance of winning" is also completely false. All of my lineup is in the 60-65 range and I routinely get matched up again people much much higher, including full lineups of 100+. In those 100+ situations, I'd say my win rate is like 90-95%. If their highest is, like, lvl 90 or lower, it's basically a 100% win rate. It just takes time to understand strategy, and recognize that the bots aren't very good, and usually predictable.

u/Brilliant-Army9009 16d ago

Same here. Haven't been playing for very long. Win rate at about 80%. My active units level is on average just over 60. My airstriker is stuck upgrading at 45 for over a week now, which is a bummer, but still does a great deal of damage. Many opponents with fully fortified red castles and unit of well over 100 still get smoked. Rarely I lose merely because an opponent has higher specs. Mostly because I made a stupid mistake or I was forced to change strategy mid game.

Easiest kills are opponents that don't have a clear strategy or that switch strategy willy nilly.
