Fantastic Tower Defense!

This is the third installment of the best TD game I’ve enjoyed. Highly recommended.

This is a fun game, with potential, but beware.

I remember the first two “Prime World Defenders” game and I loved them, this is pretty good 3D, Tower Defense game and the former games always were like a “comfort food” form of gaming. I haven’t found the old games in a while, but a couple weeks ago I decided to search and see if there was a third, or re-release and gladly there is!

This is a pretty standard TD game but with CCG elements. After each stage you basically get packs with towers and since duplicates will be an obvious accordance, these dupes are used to level your towers. Max tower levels are capped at the player level, and you need to advance the story mode to increase your personal level. It’s a nice balance of simplicity and fun.

So why is this (currently) 3-stars and not 4 or 5? Well, the problem I have isn’t with in-app purchases, because I 100% believe in supporting the devs you like if you play there games. My problem is, they offer a “Premium” upgrade and one of its bonuses is “No Ads”. Originally, you could buy this only weekly or monthly, and I had no desire to do that. However, they did release “Lifetime” option for $50. Though that’s steep, considering my hatred of ads,and other bonus (like double rewards), I figured I throw $50 their way, and just enjoy the experience, now without ads!

…but currently that’s not what you get. Between each level, you get an option to get a bonus crate. Before premium, you’d watch an ad, get the crate. I’d ignore 90% of these since it’s faster to farm by skipping them. However, after paying the premium, those pesky video ads were replaced with in-game ad deals where you could get several upgrade cards for a specific tower, usually for $2-5. This is an ad, and kills the experience. I should just get the ad crate for free, no additional required. Since I’m so use to ignoring ads, I often forget to tap the button to get the free crate. That might be a “me problem”, but what makes it worse is that when you view the ad, have to wait 5 seconds for the close button to appear, just like those dumb, pesky, interactive ads I paid to remove.

I know I’ve spent a lot of time complaining about this, but this is one of my sticking points for any game. Ad Free should mean just that. The purchase isn’t worth it, otherwise. That said, this is a fun game. All ads are optional and give rewards, so that’s great—you want play a stage, finish it and then be forced to watch an ad to continue. F2P is always an option, and there are special levels that pay out much better rewards. Even before I made the premium purchase, an ad-hater like me felt it was worth watching an ad to get the generous rewards. I say that to say, there’s great balance to the incentive engage the ads to the degree to which you can tolerate.

That said, if they fix my gripes, this is an easy 5-of-5 review. It’s a fun game with plenty of options for expansion. It seems to be in a hard-beta phase and, even so, I’ve had no issues with the game or bugs.
