Faeria vs Prime World: Defenders 2
Faeria
Faeria is an MMOCCG that brilliantly blends the elements of traditional board games with turn-based tactical and strategic MMOs, set in a disc-world circled by Orobouros, the very first creature, albeit a serpent-like one, that the gods apparently have created. In this game, you will play against other champions or players on a unique, hexagonally-gridded battlefield where the different landscapes play an important role in determining your attack or defense strategy. There are a ton of collectible cards for you to collect and subsequently use to build a deck to bring to battle.Best yet, the game is incredibly easy to learn unlike a lot of the traditional MMOCCG/TCGs, even for players who are new to the genre, and most matches are fast-paced enough to be amazingly engaging, leaving you wanting to dive immediately into another match.
Due to the popularity of games like Hearthstone, similar games have been sprouting all over the internet, making the collectible cards market a tad bit difficult to break into. But with its unique look, feel and gameplay, Faeria is definitely among the few that managed to stand out!
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.
