Boom Beach for iOS

Boom Beach challenges you to rout the invading Blackguard, and liberate the islands from their evil grasp by attacking their camps. You can build up your army and defend your base to give you more opportunities to damage the enemy and drive them out for good.

Pros

Good guide: When you start playing this game, you'll receive guidance and tips from one of your crew, who will help you get the hang of the dynamics. As you unlock new capabilities, he'll let you know how to take advantage of them and when to begin an offensive against the enemy.

Notifications: Because many of the tasks you perform in this game take time to complete, you can enable notifications so the game will alert you when you can go back and resume playing. This makes it easy for you to go work on something else to pass the time while your new armory is being built, for instance, or while a new squadron of troops is being trained.

Cons

Time is money: If you don't want to wait for structures to be built or troops to be trained, you can speed up the process by spending diamonds. However, if you use your diamonds this way frequently, you'll never be able to earn them as quickly as you spend them, and you'll have to buy packages via in-app purchases. These range in price from $4.99 for a pile to $99.99 for a crate.

Bottom Line

Boom Beach takes a familiar game format and gives it a whole new look, so you can enjoy many more hours of fun as you work your way through this adventure. If you've played this type of game in the past and enjoy it, this is a good game to try. But you don't have to be familiar with the style or mechanics of Boom Beach to have a lot of fun playing.
