It&#8217;s bright and cheery landscapes, blue skies and vibrant foliage only add to the stimulation of the game. And considering February is about as bleak as it gets, that&#8217;s just good game design.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fve-video-wrapper fve-image-embed fve-thumbnail-image youtube\" style=\"padding-bottom:75%;\">\n    <iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Dj1ySgy-ysw?wmode=transparent&#038;modestbranding=1&#038;autohide=1&#038;showinfo=0&#038;rel=0\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" frameborder=\"0\" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen><\/iframe>    <\/div>\n<p>The game play is, if you can believe it, more linear than <em>Clash of Clans<\/em>. It&#8217;s almost as if Supercell plagiarizes itself by releasing this game. But that&#8217;s the best part of it, actually. I watched the Boom Cannon commercial half a dozen times before I recognized the Supercell logo at the end. Then I just had to download it. I mean, one doesn&#8217;t just simply engage in three clan wars a week and then not want to play the next game.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fve-video-wrapper fve-image-embed fve-thumbnail-image youtube\" style=\"padding-bottom:75%;\">\n    <iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bE1EwcPQF8Q?wmode=transparent&#038;modestbranding=1&#038;autohide=1&#038;showinfo=0&#038;rel=0\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" frameborder=\"0\" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen><\/iframe>    <\/div>\n<p>What&#8217;s the biggest difference between Boom Beach and Clash of Clans? The cop out answer would be to write about the mechanics of the wars, but in earnest, it&#8217;s really the amount of times you need to play it in a given day. Like all worthwhile games, you&#8217;ll simply want to play it a lot. But I find myself needing to play at weird intervals throughout the day to upgrade a building or attack an island. With Clash of Clans, you have a shield, but with Boom Beach, you may need to wait for resources to collect. Which in the end doesn&#8217;t sound very different at all, but it plays differently. And if that&#8217;s the negative I&#8217;m ascribing it, then let&#8217;s just call a spade a spade: Boom Beach is a game we love.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following on the heels of Clash of Clans, Boom Beach is emerging as Supercell&#8217;s next big game.
