Mobile Game Design – Gameplay Case Study of Clash of Clan Vs Warcraft 3
Strategy games have evolved from desktop computers to mobile devices over the decade. Previously, I talked about the gameplay of Clash of Clan and what makes it engaging.

I make use of these insights to help me improve my own mobile game design which I'm currently working on. I'll start off with drawing similarities on game mechanics, followed by comparing 7 game elements found between both games.
