Pockie Defense vs Prime World: Defenders 2
Pockie Defense
Pockie Defense is yet another unique tower defense game that is has a rather different fairytale theme. In this game, you are given the heavy duty of defending Fairy Tale lands from the evil Witch and her minions but don't worry - you will not do the whole "You shall not pass" sequence alone! Instead, you get to recruit a wide variety of fairy tale heroes and heroines to aid you. These characters are literally your "towers" in this game and they can be upgraded permanently by consuming other lesser heroes. Most interestingly, you can even challenge other players to a fun PvP fight where only a selection of your heroes will go up against an equal number of opponents sent from the other side.That said, being a free-to-play game does make Pockie Defense a bit skewed towards the pay-to-win side, but if you ask us, the game is still amazingly fun to play and is worth the time you spend on it especially if you enjoy tower defense games.
Prime World: Defenders 2
Prime World: Defenders 2 is the highly-anticipated sequel to one of the most innovative tower-defense/CCG hybrid games available. Developed by Nival, the game is set in the world of Prime where the valuable resource, which is also called prime, has caused much conflict between its inhabitants. In this game, it’s your prime directive to safeguard your stash of prime and your prime-mining sites from being overrun and destroyed by the local creatures, the aggressive creeps. Build and upgrade towers, cast spells, and defeat powerful bosses in this brilliant game!Ultimately though, Prime World: Defenders 2 is a sequel that seems to offer more of the same. However, the game comes packaged in what many players have called a “pay-to-win” wrapping. There is plenty of grind where there are almost none before, rare tower cards are more difficult to come by, and some fans may be instantly turned off by the microtransactions even though the game’s pretty generous with its premium currency and well… the game’s free-to-play.
So, overall, I’d say that in terms of the actual gameplay, the game is a fun, free-to-play tower defense/CCG to enjoy, especially if you loved the original. It’s definitely a game that’s in its own unique niche genre.
