Boom Beach: War Strategy Game

At a glance

You will find Boom Beach: War Strategy Game under Strategy on Google Play. Supercell lists it as free to download, and the short description says: Dominate the battlefield! Lead armies in RTS, multiplayer & base-building wars.

How players rate it

The average is 4.44 out of 5 from 6,243,168 ratings. Five stars account for 73.9%, four for 12.1%, three for 4.7%, two for 2.1% and one for 7.1%. Most people give it full marks, with a thin tail of unhappy raters.

Put differently, there are about 10 five star ratings for every one star rating, 4,616,359 against 444,185. The middle of the scale, two and three stars together, holds 6.8% of ratings (425,608 people). The listing shows 100,000,000+ installs, so the 6,243,168 ratings come from a slice of the people who installed it.

What the listing says

It also states that “Welcome to Boom Beach: come with a plan or leave in defeat”. Another line from the listing: “Fight the evil Blackguard with brains and brawn in this epic strategy game”. The listing goes on to say “Engage in intense war and combat enemy bases to free enslaved islanders and unlock the secrets of this tropical paradise”. One more point the description makes: “Create a Task Force with players around the world to take on the enemy together in fierce multiplayer combat”.

The description says: “Scout, plan, then BOOM THE BEACH in this action-packed RTS warzone”. In the developer’s words, “Experience the thrill of war and shooting as you engage in RTS combat”. It also states that “Strengthen your army and build a powerful kingdom to dominate the warzone”. All of this comes from the store listing, so treat it as the developer’s pitch rather than a hands-on verdict.

The downsides

The listing says it contains ads and offers in-app purchases, so expect to be asked for attention or money at some point. Also, the description points to a need for a connection, so it may not suit a flight or a weak signal. And 7.1% of raters left one star, a share worth reading the recent reviews for. This page is built from the Play listing, so check the screenshots and the latest reviews on the Play page before you commit time to it.

The practical details

The listing shows last updated Oct 2, 2026, version 63.211, Android 7.0 or newer, a content rating of Everyone 10+ and first released Jun 18, 2014. The Play page carries 18 screenshots and a promo video, and the written description runs to about 589 words. Google Play labels it as one that contains ads and offers in-app purchases. There is no upfront price.

Who it suits

Anyone who already likes strategy games, and who is comfortable with a free-to-play model that contains ads and offers in-app purchases. If strategy is not your thing, the star average will not change that. Its content rating on Play is Everyone 10+, so check that against who will actually use it.
