Squad Busters

Squad Busters is Supercell's attempt to bring together popular characters from Clash of Clans, Clash Royale, Brawl Stars, and its other in-house titles into a single lightweight casual game. The idea is simple: the player collects characters scattered across the map, builds a growing squad from them, and competes with other players in real time for treasure and survival, with a stronger and larger lineup usually winning out. Controls are stripped down to the bare essentials — just tap where you want your character to move, while everything else, attacks and collecting included, happens automatically, making the game an ideal pick for short play sessions between other activities.

Visually, the game continues the colorful, cartoonish style that Supercell made famous with Clash of Clans and Clash Royale, and fans of the earlier titles will appreciate the many references and familiar faces spanning the company's game universe. The game is free to download, with monetization resting on purchases of in-game currency and chests containing characters and upgrades — a model traditional for Supercell, but decidedly not free of cost if a player wants to keep pace with others progressing faster in the arena.

Why play it: For players who want lightweight, quickly understood fun from the Supercell universe for a few minutes a day, without needing deep strategic planning.
