Duelyst vs Prime World: Defenders 2
Duelyst
Duelyst is a free-to-play MMOCCG with an added turn-based and strategic gameplay and a rather epic storyline set in the beautiful world of Mythron. Although you'll be building decks using cards from five different factions and playing them, the cards will turn into awesome-looking 2D sprites when played on the board. Aside from the fast-paced gameplay, the board itself is also tactically designed, making the positions of each of your heroes incredibly important. The game has some really fast-paced mechanics and several game modes as well.Duelyst focuses more on online gameplay and as such, this game can be a tad bit competitive, but if you're not the "climb-the-ranks" sort, you can still enjoy the game as it is.
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.
