Of course, it can be used to speed up building and unit production, but instead of a fixed conversion between Shiny and the game's soft currencies, your only option is to fill up your storage containers 100 percent.

Looking at the game through the lens of our Monetizer process reveals a subtly different economy to other mobile strategy titles. In turn, other players can attack your base, stealing your resources and decreasing your medal status if they're successful.

These are either pre-set levels in the single player mode or the bases of other players in the multiplayer mode. In one element, you slowly build up your base, levelling up your town hall to enable quicker resource collection and better defences, as well as training the monster army you use to attack other bases. The title offers familiar gameplay for strategy fans.
