Astral Heroes vs Prime World: Defenders 2
Astral Heroes
Astral Heroes is a digital card game that will most certainly make heads turn due to their bold innovations to the CCG genre along with some excellent game balance and card designs. With a plethora of unique features that somewhat turns the collectible cards genre over on its head, you’ll be able to experience a more in-depth card play. Although the game is a free-to-play, it is fairer than most digital card games out there as well due to its lack of “special” cards.Unfortunately, the game walled off its amazing PvE campaign by forcing players to attain a certain rank in PvP - a move which has turned away a lot of players who only wanted to enjoy the amazing gameplay and not compete with other players.
That said, if you’re tired of playing digital card games that are mere Hearthstone clones, Astral Heroes will definitely be able to make you fall into love with the CCG genre all over again. Try it now!
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.
