In this video titled I deliver a critical analysis of Supercell’s newest game, Squad Busters. Squad Busters is a game reminiscent of popular .io games, such as survivor.io, however, it has recieved immense criticism online. Unlike Supercell's previous games like Brawl Stars, Clash Royale, Hay Day, Clash of Clans, or Boom Beach, Squad Busters struggles with an over reliance on luck amongst other issues.
Special thanks to @HZXiswashed ,@takasservant6736 , and @AwesomeJr. for helping me make this video!

wow great editing!!!
SO GOOD!!
You hit 10 000! 🎉
Yes ofc nice video bro,but can I have the name of the first song the songs in the description are not the same
@@pumaguy6121 cypher by lemmino i think. i linked a playlist to all of lemmino music so sry bout that
Honestly,if the devs don't cook,this game will probably end like Boom Beach.
Yeahhh hopefully not 😭 although my dad does play a lot of boom beach
@@mortipins W dad
@@mortipinsBased Dad
I honestly don't see alot of people's problems with Boom Beach. Maybe it was pretty bad on launch, but I'm surprised it's not as successful as clash was
@@mortipins my dad introduced me to boom beach and thats how i ended up playing supercell games ngl
"They cancelled Clash mini for this???"
-A wise man
😭
I still can't get over how they decided a game with one button was better
@@macaroniisnice fr
They did not. They are two different teams of people. The two events are unrelated. CM had trash player retention and no update improved it
Yes beacuse despite being more p2w squad buster Is way Better than Clash mini
I don’t like when I try to bust a squad my guys just attack the NPCs instead of the human player that can cause actual problems
Oh yeah that happens to me a lot too 😭😭😭
I would be confused too if i were ur squad, they all kinda look like npcs
Why bust a squad when you can bust a nut
I can’t believe they canceled clash mini for this
lmao true, basically polar opposites
mini doesn't have as much potential as this one, even after 2 years of developing there's so many problems with the game.
@@Phucsle383yeah, it's bc they didn't listen to any of the fan base opinions. Also, they were going so slow each update took about 3 months and they would just somehow make the game worse. I did love the game, but it did have a lot of issues
@@Phucsle383"so many problems"
@@Deino6000it did
If your actually glazing clash mini before it went down then ur meat riding on another level
It took clash mini 2 years and even after that it didn't went global and Squad buster was not even soft Launched for a month and went Global,i think they rushed it and should have spent a few months 😶🌫️
i think ur right. the game feels rushed but also polished at the same time.
Clash mini downfall was that stupid update 8 mo that before it got deleted
It's just that Squad Busters is supposed to be this big crossover game that's going to attract a lot of attention. I think that Supercell was looking at it money wise instead of quality wise.
But it did have a 2023 soft launch…
@@tyjackgaming4574Still there's only 1 Gamemode 😶🌫️
When I first heard of Squad Busters, I thought its gameplay was similar to brawl stars, (not the stop to attack bullshit)
yeah same 😅
If the gameplay was similar to brawl stars people wouldn't wanna play it cuz then it'll just be like playing brawlstars but worse 😭
@@EthanTucky16 ikr 💀
Like imagine having 3 units and your enemy has 20+, with enough dodging, you can bust that squad 💀💀
So yeah, I am a little grateful its not like brawl stars 💀
You're not the only one
@@whitetiger8267 I am glad to know that :)
I think the biggest problem is the lag, which lets you go back to where you were a few seconds before, like you just moved somewhere, and the system lets you pretend nothing happens
oh yeah that happens to me too. very annoying
It happened me two times this day
Only happens during final stretch for some reason
FR I lose my streak like that 😢
fr whenever i try to get close to the center all of a sudden i lag and some random squad bust's like 40 of my squad and runs away and then i get placed in 7th place because i LITERALLY CANNOT DO ANYTHING WHEN IT LAG.
another thing that is wrong with squad busters is that it is too chaotic and difficult to assess the situation in pvp
very true
The game is so lacking in mechanical skill. It really hate that when it comes to fighting other players, it just comes down to who has more fighters, not who’s better at the game. It’s why I personally can’t get into it, it really doesn’t take that much skill to play
The game has it flaws, but it's mechanics make it unique as hell, with the right changes it can become one of the best mobile games
yeah, this game actually has potential and i'm excited to see what supercell can do with it! just rn its a bit mid lol
@@mortipinsHonestly, based on what they are doing with CR I dont have much faith. They literally made an official add of an evolved mega knight being broken asf. Supercell is aware of the problems and makes memes about them being a bad company
Are we talking about the same game lol
@@thatguy9466they made that as an april fools joke, because they know how much people hate megaknight while he isn't even that good(btw cr is in a good state right now they are giving free evo shards and a tons of wild cards for free)
It's a April fool's joke@@thatguy9466
3:16 the more chests you opened rarity increases
I see
But for some weird reason, I don't even look at keys and play fair (like they don't even exist)
This game is definition of company trying to grab quick cash by combining all of our favorite game into one game
I wouldn’t go as far as calling it a cash grab but the monetization system is severely messed up right now I agree
@@mortipinsits a fucking cash grab. just go check the shop everyth is paid by real cash. cant even get daily rewards unless u pay for one of them. fucking pathetic company
even boom beach front lines was better
Squad busters is a good game
they didn't need to take the clash royal route
yep... i hope they fix the p2w stuff soon
clash royake is still fun. for most people it may be p2w but like 100k people still play a day.
Its not a good game what you on
@@hxyoopinions
Clash Royale, at least, is only P2W in high ladder and wars clan. If you play the normal mode or Grand Challenge it is one of fairest game ever for F2P
This game has no replayability. In my opinion I don't get the urge to login everyday because there's not a real incentive to do so. There's no higher goal to reach and the pay to win just sucks honestly.
Seems pretty cool but they need new gameplay, stupid repetitive
Edit: also gold is ridiculously hard to earn sometimes
true true
@@mortipinsthis went from 160 to 1.2k views really fast, good job (new editing style is cool)
I don’t know, they have daily quests that give 6-8k gold and there are constant little events to give gold
@@Farmer_Thanos fr, am at 100 000 coins rn without paying anything
The play with a friend feature in this game is god awful. Their is no reason to play in a party. Even if you get all 10 people, 5 of your friends are losing their streak.
Yeah, and I assume you can just team too😭
I think that when in a party your streak cannot be lost but it cannot also increase.
I don’t like that u have to stand still to do something
yeahh
Fr, it's irritating if you are attacked while opening chest, because you have to pick a character then have to run, and you know if your squad is weak, your gonna lose. I wish they put like a attack button or an open chest button when they are in range or even a cancel chest button so you can run when you are getting attack while opening chests
@@oktaviusrichardo911i know this sucks, but this game CANT use the fight button mechanism
this make ppl have to fight against each other whenever they meet, no matter its team or not
also, if that button ever exist, wintrader will surely be something, cuz you can play with friends in a team and that still count into chest ticket
the other ideas are pretty nice though
The problem is the that the chests should cost a lot more coins, because it is so hard to see what is on the screen. Only thing I can see is how big their squad is, so there is not much skill. Also mega units should be given at the start of a match and not be consumables.
oh yeah thats true. once its late game, the screen gets so clutterted making it so hard to judge a fight. idk if this counts as high skill or low skill lol
Not to forget the suggestive advertising…
‘Gather your squad and bust some’
That’s crazy
(Maybe i just have a dirty mind)
💀
another factor is how repetitive the gameplay is imo. the modifiers dont add much to the gameplay and it’s kinda overall boring. great vid!
Yeah agreed, gameplay loop gets repetitive easily
Ant no way it's celevan
Why do i see celevan everywhere
The biggest problem aside from the p2w is the lack of deck building. In Clash of clans and boom beach you create an army, in Clash royale you create a deck, in brawl stars you choose a character and create a build for it, yet in this game the deck is random.
I don’t mind the random chests as long as you could change your 15 card deck, but supercell thought it would make the game more casual when you can’t build a deck, which is the dumbest idea!
By the time you reach the point in the game where you have over 15 cards most of the casuals have left, so it’s really a big fail on supercells part with that, I don’t think anyone will continue to play this game if they don’t change this one mechanic.
But building a deck would also be dumb as your just use the best troops in the game like tank, hog rider, trader, barb kind, etc.
I have played Squad Busters for like 2 days and uninstalled, I'm a Clash of Clans veteran and the super predatory monetisation + extraordinarily boring gameplay made me really uninterested in the game
then why did you play it for so long
@@rubenlohata5263 To try out the game? Why do people play games they have never heard of? To give them a try, see if they're working for them
agreed, the one time use stuff feels very icky
Bro is saying extraordinary boring gameplay while saying clash of clans veteran like bro what a clown 🤡
@@stoneville_yt Do you know that it is not required to be ingame for upgrades to go through? You can enjoy playing and waiting, while doing something else dummy
The game is built around fast paced movement and conatsnt moving, yet the way you attack is by NOT MOVING??? biggest flaw in game design ive ever seen
Lmaoo never thought about it that way.. I guess that’s why the pvp mechanics feel so off putting
My biggest problem here is luck. Sometimes I can't even get a fusion 2 mins in the match while somebody has got mega unit and crushes entire lobby. Also extending winstreaks was the stupidest addition ever. If they worked a little, they could make a really good game. Even tho, I still enjoy playing it.
yeah a lot of luck, not a lot of skill
I also hate those people/ bots that stalk you until your dead but when you are 1% stronger than them they run off
Yeah LOL
That's why i stopped playing people just dont get that Squad busters is not based completely on PvP and are chasing me till the end of the match
Honestly squad busters is pretty fun at the start, I kept playing until I reached royal world, then it just wasn’t fun anymore. I feel like all the hype was big, but the reality weren’t what people were expecting.
yeah supercell hyped it up so much just for it to fall flat to most people... the gameplay loop is very repititive i agree with you
@@mortipins yeah honestly clash mini was kind of better
@@mortis908At first I thought squad busters was going to be better than clash mini but after playing squad for like a week it became boring and stopped pushing they need to add new modes
I love helping my squad bust
🥶🥶🥶
You should be busting other squads not urs😢
Ayoooo
@@rohitravuri5267 well depends... if you have a shelly and archer queen in your squad and the enemy has some Gregs and goblins... you know which one's you need to help bust
You sure you don’t want some gobbling from a goblin?
THIS IS SO ACCURATE 1:20
I always just dip as soon as I hear 2 of the sounds it makes when one of your squad nerds dies.
Also, Bread 🍞
LOL
Also yum..
Here is another issue I can of find. You see, you have to have a really good squad. Like for example: If you don't get a character you need(i.e Greg, Mavis, Trader or Hog Rider), you know are doomed. Also, why can't there be a classic mode.
yep, early luck matters way too much
isn't there one
@@rubenlohata5263 what I mean is that you need to have a perfect deck. Otherwise the modifier you are in is a big disadvantage
@@BenjaminM.21 only in combat mods like the mega and the epic chest one
@@rubenlohata5263 how about Super Gem Mine, Piniata and etc then
As someone who has been playing Squad Busters daily after release, i can agree that this game has some BIG issues, especially with combat
Like dude, if you're losing an interaction with another player, then good luck trying to escape while your troops walk like turtles even if you're holding the turbo button for DEAR LIFE
I really like the style of Squad Busters and i really want it to succeed, so i hope they take the criticism and improve their game
(And yes they should remove keys, cuz what the hell is that mechanic?)
agreed! i do think this game has really good potential, just needs to big fixes. the core idea of the game is fine imo, execution just needs to be a bit better
Apparently, the troops slow down when damaged. It is super useful for finishing off weaker players but is so annoying when you try to get away. Idk how they would fix it because it feels so good on the attacking side
the gameplay is absolutely braindead, just follow someone like a creep until they’re dead, this happens at the fs of every match were someone just starts randomly chasing me
yeah lmao, pvp is pretty terrible
How the hell did this come up on my recommended, I’m not a supercell game player, but this is a great video talking about it!
dang i guess the algorithm just doing weird things. but ty!
Man the editing in this video is insane. Keep up the good work
Tysm🔥
It really is, I bet this video is gonna blow up (wish mine did)
Tbh i feel like the chest's aren't giving any new CHARACTERS 😭😭😭
Yeah that chances are so low😕
1% chance
I just LOVE the editing on this vid🤌
Appreciate it!!
The vid quality really really good ngl. Love it ❤ The calming and slow pacing suits soo well.
Tysm! Glad you liked it
A game should be good when it comes out. We shouldn’t have to wait a year for multiple updates just for the game to finally be good. If the game wasn’t ready, they shouldn’t have released it globally
yeah thats true, but it is difficult to judge potentially feedback to something, even with a beta version
Pvp in this game is usually a loose loose situation. You fought someone, and congratulations! You get a key and a high rank! However, half of your team is dead, and you're probably going to die within the next 30 seconds. It's even worse when someone fights you, then you both forfeit. Not only did many of your strongest troops die, but now someone else can charge at you and you die in under 5 seconds.
Yeah taking fights is really bad which is just weird incentive structure
Casual W upload
I agree with the vid squad busters needs some changes..im also pretty sure that they will implement them
yeah the game has potential, just needs some udpates
i mean the game has some strategy but the game has been global for like 5 seconds as you said... brawl stars wasn't the best when it was global for like 5 seconds but now its a w (but megas feel like if you had a chance to get 15 power cubes from 1 power cube box in bs)
yeah, i agree the game is very new. i read some people say that the game should have still been more polished before release but i think we should give the devs a chance
some reason i got:
get boring after you get all 3 of you chests from playing matches
hard to get evolution (especially ultra)(thats 1000 babies to get one ultra 💀)
paid to win since you can literally buy keys during the game (especially the fusion key)(reroll chest is another paid to win feature)
getting new troops are hard to get, been playing squad busters for a month and the only characters i got from chests are bea and dynamike (the rest i got are from trophy road or supercell id)
same with spells, there a wizard in the lobby that give a spell for complete it, but let me tell you, that quest take so long, and you got like 24 hours before the wizard leave (also some character like the witch or pam give out a spell when you evolve them to super)
I agree with most but slow progression I think is fine in a game. Can’t expect to max things out in a few weeks
@@mortipins the progression is way slow, maybe they should make ultra 500 instead of 1000???, you been getting like 2-20 babies per chests depending on your luck
@@cluelessX3 evolution is fine compared to levels in other spc games. This game existent is for marketing or a "fun" play after home i believe.
I love the editing
ty!!
I got a squad busters ad before watching this 😭🙏🏼
NAH LOL
I feel like supercell will shut it down because its lack of competitiveness. All of their games so far have been able to have massive tournaments worth thousands of dollars because of their skill caps and how interesting they are to watch. Watching someone clutch up and take a tower right on the last second, or trickshotting a ball in a goal would keep people hyped. In squad busters theres none of that. There no crazy plays or strategy, just pick the most meta units and have a good farming strat and you win. A squad buster tournament would be the most boring experience to watch compared to the other 3 games. And theres no way to fix that imo
Yeah I do wonder if and how they will do e-sports for this game
That would be equivalent to a competitive brawl Stars in Showdown but worse.
Tbh they went the clash Royale road where they just made everything about "pay money or your garbage" and don't forget THEY MADE A SINGULAR SKIN 5 DOLLARS
Yeah the monetization is really bad
Wait do people even play Clash Royale though? I don’t remember it being this pay to win. I thought people just ignored the purchase options??
Holy cow this video summarises my thoughts on Squad Busters completely, literally everything here is something I agree with
glad to hear!
A very well made video despite being so short and to the point
Hope you continue to do well
tysm!
I think what I hate the most is that you have no actual control over your squad / squad members except movement guidance, all you do as a player is walk around and let AI & luck decide your fate
Yep. You don’t have a lot of autonomy in this game
The only supercell game i dont want to try my decision might be right
lol nice
The videos production is beautiful
Thank you!!!!
Bro i got a squad busters ad when i watched this
The "Special Offer" at 2:27 really pisses me off. You gotta pay tiny little bits of money to get to the free stuff. Honestly, they should just give you all the free stuff and let you buy the rest in one purchase because $1.25 for a single chest ain't worth it.
it really is just a cheap marketing tactic
Aw, man 😂 and I remember when I first saw this game on the google play store I was thinking if you could have a pure "Clash of Clans characters" build squad... Like only Barbarian & Goblin. Turns out 😴 it's not very practical if PvP is broken.
Fr
I got a squad buster ad before this
In my opinion, squad busters went global because of this year brawl stars peak, they put exclusive items that you can only get by basically INSTALLING the game
I'll be honest. This game is so heavy that I need to THANK THEM for not making it a really competitive game. It's better for people like me to just farm and run away, also, we only need to stay at top 5 to win, so the game doesn't need to take down ANY player. But yeah, it's a great chance if you find a weak opponent. More gems for ya!
Yeah, it’s a different style of game that’s what people expected
Congrats on the 10000 subs :)
tysm pablo9 :)
I had a Squad Busters ad before this video 😂
Love the Vids Keep it up
tysm!
Another one: the mega units, like you are thinking that your squad is strong and stuff related and when you see a guy with a squad at the size a living room with a mega unit absolutely destroying other people that havent even unlocked a chest is kinda absurd, they gotta do smth or else the mega units might be considered a p2w strategy
Agreed 👍
And yet this killed clash mini
although i never played clash mini, i heard from friends that it was very good :(
Well, it wasn't a fleshed out game either and it had about 2 years in beta. It's not like they killed a complete game
Your editing is soothing ash
tysm
I really like your editing style
Tysm!
Another problem is teaming when you play with friends
oh yeah thats true. i thought it was kinda weird how playing with friends worked
Yeah at first I thought it was a friendly match
That being the entire game
;-;
Congratulations on 10k subscribers!:)
tysm!
I can tolerate All this but one thing drives me crazy the fact that I need boxes tickets to Open chests after every game Which means it became a pay to Play and pay to win at the same time.
I got a squad busters ad while watching this
Lmaooo
Let them cook
I think free to play Squad Busters is very similar to early Clash Royale in that in order to make progress sometimes you have to play a match knowing you’re not gonna get a chest afterwards. I just was able to get to Squad League (completely free to play) in order to get the witch skin, and there were many games where I didn’t have enough coins to buy a chest ticket. I don’t think this is an issue necessarily and I would say the most broken card is the hog rider. Having that added movement speed is such a game changer and I think it needs a small nerf in order to reduce the gap between players that don’t get to use the hog rider in their match.
that makes sense
CONGRATS ON 10K SUBS :D🎉🎉
TYSM
I think Supercell just tried to make a more casual game for people who doesn't like competitive that much, wich is pretty nice. I have been enjoying the game a lot thanks to that and I think it haves a lot of potential.
Yeah I agree it’s a very different style for supercell games
Too competitive is not good, brawl stars is more stressful, i try playing casual, but always got bad random and hard grinding
@@mortipinsit's good after all too competitive is not good, supercell try make mechanic casual games because his community is really solid, i playing brawl stars in 4 year make me more stressful, i try playing casual still stressful because bad random, hard grinding and bad balancing
The game where you are a squad that busts on other squads so we become the squad busters
;-;
i had a squad busters ad just after clicking this
LOL nice
the problem is that you cant really fight without a deathwar that ends both people's runs, as even a slight loss from a fight can be a death sentence. The best strategy is just to run really fast and build a big enough army to win the final fight
I think one problem is that its a bit p2w, but not that much as you mostly face opponents with the same strength and not even need to fight them as you can always run away. Could make the pass not cost money anymore like brawlstars but that it cost gold
yeah the one time use stuff is very p2w
brawl stars pass costs money though
@@-rlmn yes, that one of the biggest things i miss
Greg
Ok😕
Ain’t no way I got a squad busters ad before this
lmaoo
one of the only things i enjoy about squad busters is that adrenaline rush when the map is closing in and you scramble to get gems and survive
thats true. it is pretty fun. it gets a bit too chaotic imo tho
i was trying to download the game for over a months now. i live in russia so i cant just use google play or the app store. and guess what after this i dont want to
rippp.. its still pretty fun, just not up to people's expectations for a supercell game
@@mortipins somehow did it, and got desert world. and every game im running for my life with 1 character with every robot in the game and every player too going after me, who somehow got x4 characters than me. so um agreed
supercell again burned the entire house
😭
Got a squad busters ad
Lmaooo
Good video bro, keep it up
Tysm 🫶
Unpopular opinion: Squad Busters had better progression than Brawl stars.
Personally I like brawl stars but I can’t really speak on this cuz I progressed through brawl stars old system
No it quite literally doesn't, it's mainly rng through chest
@@sonicfan12e1 That makes it better. You can either spend your coins on more efficient but random progression through box tickets or spend your coins to max out a specific character through the daily shop.
@@wornyt you can save up credits and gems in brawl stars to get brawlers and people don't have to be lucky to get them
@@wornyt doing the coin strat f2p which is the main people who gets affected by the rng cause they have no choice don't normally get so much coin that it's gonna be a thing you can do enough to combat the rng
Haven‘t played the game, but for me it just seems like a fast paced tiktok game aimed at gen alpha with no skill involved, which is exactly why I have no interest in playing.
yep ur spot on. seems to be targeted towards the younger generation (they're cooked😅)
Got a squad buster ad watching this
😭😭
congrats 4 10k!
Tysm!!!
This game is a walking gambling simulator. You can tell if you're going to win within the first minute.
Agreed
You can't use the "let them cook" card when after only 2 betas and like 2 years of development they decided to make it global. It didn't change at all from the betas (apart from adding more paywall stuff) and you pretty much summed up every bad aspect on the video, good job...
True, hopefully they change stuff now though with the immense player feedback
I got a squad busters ad before thus video
the problem i had with the game is that's being advertised so many times while at the end of the day, it's a casual game not a competitive game like other supercell games
I agree
Whats the song name at 0:30?
Lemmino Cipher
what Blue Ice said
What’s ironic is that the Squad Busters traffic ad was what I had to watch in order to figure out why it’s 🐶💩😂
LOL
Dude chill with this editing
sry lol
Still mad that this game went global instead of clash mini
Yeah rip clash mini
Squad Busters Is Like Lego Fortnite now lol
Nah lego's more fun and its better
LOL
this game actually sucks.
I got lost when a skin was $5
Yeah wtf is that
I think its a pretty fun game to pass time and have fun, i play it and dont see any major problems but i hope supercell works hard in the future on this
yeah it is a great game to play when your bored. but problem for that is that it eats up so much battery lol
