"Revenge"

13 November 2025

80s

It's payback time… at last.

They say revenge is a dish best served cold—for 'Clash of Clans' players, it's been hard to serve it at any temperature. That's because the Revenge button has always been counteracted by shields, no ifs, not buts. Why have a big red button in your game if no one has a chance to use it? The cast of this entertaining commercial would sure love to know.

Best laid plans are ruined left, right, and centre in Vedran Rupic's film. The culprits all have names like ToxicEx, NapDestoyer6000, AdmitYouSuck, and IRaidUrNan, all of them able to strike with relative impunity. As a result, Smartphones are crushed, careers are jeopardised, and printer jams are made so much worse by those on the receiving end.

A neat swap from live-action to CG (talk about taking it on the chin) shows what it means for the target market to hit back and not for before time. Developer Supercell even jokes about how long it's taken to reach this point: "Broken since forever, fixed for good".
