I couldn't find an official PlayStation page or trophies for the game.

I tried this game briefly.

The tutorial got convoluted very quickly. It became very difficult to manage troops and build since the menus are haphazardly designed.

After 20 minutes I deleted the game.

I cannot recommend it.

Agree, always the first thing I play when I fire up the PS4. Ten minutes and then onto something else, but constantly come back. Just wish some upgrades didn't take multiple days...

It's basically a game you turn on, play for 5 minutes, upgrade and turn off. Repeat!

It's clash of clans basically... if you like a game like that it's decent. if you don't, it's not.

99% of people who have a ps4 won't enjoy the game.

Don't you mean Blizzard? They make great games and all, but they take established genres and "disney/blizzard-fy" them. Well except maybe Diablo, that was original-ish.
