  This game is a testament to what can be both good, and unbelievably bad in gaming. I -LOVE- tower defense games, to the point of friends making fun of me for playing anything in the genre now matter how bad it looks. I picked this one up on a whim and right off the bat I could tell this game was set up with a mobile market in mind. They build RNG into your potential power by making upgrades random drops, and build the maps around having gotten said random upgrades. So inevitably, you will reach a spot where the towers you have are simply not good enough, and to proceed you will have to grind and spend time PRAYING for a specific tower that you want to drop so you can upgrade it. It is a black spot in the genre, and this game should be avoided on that basis alone. The rest of the game is bog standard tower defense, and not interesting enough to make this system worth my time. Do not purchase.

  [h1]Update: Server no longer available.[/h1] [b] Leaderboards and Achievements stopped functioning when Nival took down the servers without as much as a notice a while ago. The game also pauses to try to connect to its server frequently during play. Completely broken now, as if the points below weren't bad enough in the first place.[/b] Having paid for the Steam version of this game feels like an EX slap in the face with a trout by a troll. It is free to play (with microtransactions) on Kongregate, Facebook and mobile devices. The Steam version does not get updated, it's at version 1.2. The F2P versions get frequent updates and are currently version 1.7.3. A borderline criminal business practice. On Steam, if you buy the game, they already got your money so why update the game eh ? And likewise on F2P, its of course very important to constantly update it with new things to spend money on. Disgusting. Seriously Nival? You gave us the wonderful Homm5, and then you do this, why? :( Its not even a bad game, its a very functional and decent looking TD with a unique CCG flavour, its actually well worth checking out. Just.. don't be a fool like me and purchase it here, play the F2P versions instead.

  Metascore 58?! Are you kidding me? I just don't get it. My only complaint with this game is that it's too grindy at certain points, and with not so many maps it can make the experience somewhat repetitive. Aside from that, the upgradeable trading cards meets tower defense idea here works surprisingly well, and above all it's fun. If you're a fan of tower defense, I say go for it. It's one of the best in the genre (up there with defense grid, plants vs. zombies, etc.). 8/10

  I am slightly conflicted in recommending this. On one hand, purely from a "tower defense" perspective, the gameplay is pretty solid. Everything works as it should and it is well-designed (nice interface, towers all serve specific purposes, enemy health, waves and routes are clearly indicated, etc). And most importantly, the actual gameplay itself is fun. What brings this down are the nonstandard elements the developers tried to introduce into the standard tower defense formula - specifically, the "card system" (and everything that comes along with it). There's nothing wrong with the basic idea - tower types are represented by cards that can be collected and leveled up, and you have to pick and choose a subset of cards from your deck before going into a level. Where the problem comes in is obtaining the cards you need you be successful and "leveling up" those cards. First of all, the leveling system is overly confusing and needlessly complicated. Secondly, in order to beat the later levels, you will need specific cards leveled up to adequate levels of strength. The problem with this is that most of the cards you get as rewards are random, so you could go a good long while without (or possibly even never) finding a Lightning Tower card, for example (which I would consider absolutely essential for beating the game). And even if you are lucky enough to get some good towers, the process of leveling them up takes serious time. You basically just need to keep grinding out optional levels to get extra cards that can be used to fuse/evolve other cards. And make no mistake, you are going to be doing some serious grinding. So, depending on your tolerance for grinding levels and ranking up things, that's how I would recommend you make your decision to buy this or not. Personally, I am the OCD-type who feels the need to level things up and complete stuff, so I forced myself through and eventually got enough cards of high enough strength to power through the main game, as well as the extra hard difficultly that unlocks afterwards. While I did enjoy the game overall, it did take a lot of time and effort to get the most out of it. To me, tower defense shouldn't be about making towers strong enough to win by brute force. It should be about overcoming the challenges using a set of predefined towers and nothing else except whatever strategy you come up with. The first half of this game can be played along those lines, but once you get to the later levels, you will absolutely hit a wall if you don't have certain cards leveled up to a certain strength. That's poor design in my eyes. But even with all that said, I honestly still had fun with this game, as it's well made and I have a semi-high tolerance for grindy things. If you think you can deal with the grinding issue and like TD games, definitely go for it. Otherwise, you may want to hold off or wait for a huge discount.

  If you are into this type of games - tower defence - this is the one you definitely wanna try. Prime World: Defenders makes you think how you could beat AI better, quicker and cheaper. Every tower has its price and costs an amount of "prime", which you are lack of and it makes levels hard as hell so this is the reason why you need better towers which you can achiev by buying new cards and playing almost same levels again and again which sometimes makes this game really boring. You can improve your cards by evolving and fusing them. It's the biggest minus that I see in this game, it takes really long to have powerful and useful defence against all types of monsters so if you are not patient this isn't game for you. Not very impressed by this game but neither disappointed. 6/10

  Pretty interesting and refreshing concept of merging TD and CTG into one game. BUT, since the developer/publisher is Nival, the game just HAD to have truckloads of grinding experience. And, of course, a pinch of bugs as well. I will recommend it, because it is innovative after all and fairly cheap (frequent on 75% off sales, been in couple of bundles so far), but when you get stuck at playing the same mazes over and over again in order to collect more cards, coins or stars, don`t say I didn`t warn you. Perfect game for the sadistic types, if your mistress haven`t punished you enough on your last session - play this game to fulfill your fantasies.

  [h1]84 / 100[/h1] Tower Defense crossed with a Card Collecting game; an unusual mix that strangely works well together. You have a set campaign of around 20 quests to complete before you, with some side quests you can do between main quests to gain further experience. There is some backstory to the whole game but its not overly interesting only appearing after winning certain levels. You use the drops, silver & stars earned from each win to upgrade your towers & magic, increase your deck size & obtain other perks. Initial levels in the game are very, very easy to complete, making me think this might be a 'one session to complete' kinda game. Once you hit around level 10, the levels get much harder though. If you have been unlucky on the drops or have put your upgrades into tower cards you shouldn't have you can find yourself grinding out upgrades to get through the next level. This isn't overly frustrating though as the maps are randomly selected for each difficultly level & can have random modifiers to block certain tower squares from use. This adds new challenges for existing maps. There are also some unique boss levels where you have a set amount to build & take down a large enemy - those are fun! There are a LOT of different towers you can build up in your deck. For tower defense veterans, most of the common suspects are there in some form (guns, flamers, slowers, long range), plus some other more unique configurations. Not sure exactly how many tower types there are but would estimate at least 20. The quality of the card determines how far you can upgrade, with each upgrade generally improving DPS/Range/Efficiency etc. For those who like a strong mazing component to their tower defense, then this game might not be for you. There is some maps with a smaller level of mazing but most have a set path design. The strategic importance in PW:D is with your card selection to match the incoming enemies & what you put your limited upgrades earned towards. Better choices will make moving up the levels much easier (unlike my poor effort of a play through lol!), & bad choices will make the game feel next to impossible to beat. The HD support (or lack of) I found a bit disappointing. Running PW:D in full screen ends up stretching the desktop down to 1280x720 - windows like the Steam window open in the background always get shrunk down & I need to resize. It looks fine at the lower resolution just a minor frustration. Again, a minor frustration I found was the menus between games. There is a lot of going in and out of different sections to get your upgrades done, check your towers etc. This could have been simplified to fit more cards on one page, and have main functions and browsing together to save going back and forth. Overall, I have really been enjoying this one. Its a challenging & addictive tower defense game with a card twist! Lots of achievements & one that is well suited to load up for a quick 10-20min TD session.

  A good TD game which suffer from bad porting and an intense grind. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1433712683 I liked the game at the beginning. There is a nice story with cool comics. The graphics is cozy. The game teaches you step by step and offers new mechanics each level. There is a lot of towers and extra content, but.. there is a grind. Intense grind. After 5th mission, you unlock side missions. It is the same mission which you have already pass. You can farm game currencies there. The game even tells you. You can't pass the next mission. You are too weak. Go and play side missions better. It's not cool. I passed boss level after several attempts using strategy. But after 2-3 story missions I got stuck. There is a mission there you hold 19 waves with no problems and 20th wave destroys you with no chance to survive. I tried to pass this mission at least 9 times. I even tried to farm coins. But, the game gives you just a few coins per each completion. Also mechanics of getting towers is so random. I gave up. If you need to do boring stuff to play interesting stuff, then the game is poorly designed. It's pity, because the game could be great. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1433712778 Pros - Good cozy graphics - A lot of towers. The game offers a lot of different possibilities to pass each level| - There is a story with well drawn comics - A lot of extra content. You can learn player skill. You can combine cards to unlock next levels of towers. You can power up towers to give them permanent bonuses and etc. Cons - The game was originally made as free-to-play mobile game. Devs cut ability to buy coins and replace it with intense grind. Everything requires coins. You get just a few coins after each story mission. You need to grind the rest again and again by playing same levels. - There is a lot of towers. But you can take only 4-6 to battle. Also, if you didn't take a special tower ( and you don't know which is), you will lose. Fore example, if you didn't take anti-air to a mission with air enemies, you will lose. If you didn't take block tower to a maze level, you will lose. What is the purpose to add so much towers in the game and allow to bring only a few of them. - You get of buildfileds very often. You can upgrade towers, but to unlock a possibility of upgrade, you need to find 2-3 cards to combine them in the forge. You need to spend coins to buy card packs with a random chance to get certain card. And spend 500 coins to combine them. Everything of it requires intense grind. - Balance issues. I had a lot of time the next situation. The first 19 waves are simple and 20 wave breaks your defense in a second. There is no difficulty settings, so if you cant pass it, you have a only way to grind. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1433712742 [h1]Resume[/h1] The game could be great, but devs put humble efforts for porting the game from free-to-play mobile game to paid PC game. If the game required purchasers, now it requires a lot intense grind. I liked first 5-7 levels. But when after I lost 8 times at the 20th wave of one level I got very angry. Every time after a lose, the game offered me "hey, man, you need to get stronger. Go and win one of side missions 10 times and come again". TD game is supposed to be about strategy, but not about grind. I can't recommend this game.

  Unfortunatly I can't recommend this game any longer. The developers tied many game features to an online server, which they have since shut down, making all of these "always online" features broken leaving a shell of a game behind. Many of these features, like game progress and achievements, have no need of online functionality yet their gone anyways. In addition, the developers abandoned this version of the game early on, instead deciding to only update a F2P version littered with microtransactions avalible elsewhere. It started out as a fun little tower defense game, but the actions of the developers show they're not very consumer friendly, and you can not count on their games working for long. I'll be avoiding any games by Nival in the future.
