The mobile version is a bit easier for some reason. My town hall, market and gold mine are level 185 after only 3 days of play, while on my PC they’re around level 290 after a lot more time played. On my phone, I already bought the crystal mine (6th castle building), although I’m only at raid #100, while on PC I’m at raid #110. And the PC version requires me to win 11 more raids to unlock the crystal mine, while the Android version wants me to win only 9 more raids for me to get the magic tower way. That’s way easier to get to, especially considering my PC squad is much stronger compared to my 3-day mobile account.

A pretty big issue is that the ads that are baked into the game don’t work in the PC version, which makes the game freeze (“Please wait…”), and you have to refresh to continue playing. These freezes occur when you click on any buttons that are supposed to show ads, or sometimes (when the game decides) after you exit battles.

So if you like the game and don’t want it to get stuck loading due to non-functional ads (I don’t use the ad-blocker here), just play the mobile version.
