All those countless hours spent on your phone have been preparing you for this moment. Fulfill your destiny and become… THE ULTIMATE PHONE DESTROYER! From South Park Digital Studios comes a real-time battle game like nothing you’ve ever experienced before! Take on Cartman, Kenny, Stan and Kyle in all out mobile mayhem!
Even though I have never watched South Park, this game had me literally giggling out loud (gol? :p) more than any other mobile game I've played these past few months!
That goes for lapsed fans, too. I’m not sure what it says about me as a person, but hearing Ike say “I’ll cut you!” and “Don’t kick the pirate” when throwing him into the fray makes me chuckle. A lot. Phone Destroyer is simply so well-made that it makes you forget or overlook some of its pay-to-win DNA, and that’s no easy feat. Viva la New Kid.
It’s very difficult for me to figure out who South Park: Phone Destroyer is for. It’s not a particularly great twist on Clash Royale, it has dubious monetization schemes in it, and it doesn’t really do much to feel like a South Park game. Even though the core of the game is built on a relatively solid gameplay foundation, everything surrounding Phone Destroyer feels pretty soulless.
To imagine that South Park would let its soul be claimed by the Canadian Devil; it is a huge shame, as underneath all the nefarious schemes to all but force players into buying a ton of gold, to progress rests on extremely good and entertaining gaming. It kind of makes one wish they would release a retail version for full price without the freemium nonsense.
This is a great game that unfortunately gets a bit overshadowed by the perceived double-standards of its business model and its overly complex system of upgrades, special packs, currencies, and items. Nevertheless, if you're a fan of South Park you should give it a try just because it offers great production values, plenty of fan service, and Randy moments (Sixth Element Randy is worth a google).
Phone Destroyer isn’t going to convince you to like South Park or card battlers if you didn’t already, there’s a decent campaign frustrated by constantly gatekept content.
