    If you want another MOBA game and you do not want to spend a penny, this is the one to get. A surprisingly competent freemium product for fans of the popular strategy genre.

    Both familiar and interestingly different, this is a gentle introduction for newbies, or a charismatic change-up for MOBA veterans. [Apr 2014, p.61]

    You will find great value for the cost of nothing with Prime World. It’s also a fairly small download, currently clocking in at 1.36GB, so there’s no real reason why you shouldn’t try the game if you’re a fan of the MOBA genre.

    With all the additional features that expand Prime World beyond traditional genre definitions, the game lacks the heart and focus needed to keep you invested in each match.

    Prime World fails to follow through on many of its innovative ideas. From boring castle-building to unrewarding single-player and a typical map, there isn’t much reason to choose it over any other free-to-play MOBA.

    Prime World is free to play on Steam, so if you’ve got time to burn and are looking for a game that tries to shake up the MOBA genre, then give Prime World a shot.

    I enjoy the game very much, particularly the way each of your heroes develops individually and get stronger the more you play them. TheI enjoy the game very much, particularly the way each of your heroes develops individually and get stronger the more you play them. The community is the main highlight for me, with many contests going on, the participation available is great and there is a lot of hands on from the developers, I will often spend more time on the forums than actually playing the game!
    From a gameplay perspective, it is particularly enjoyable how levelling up and customisation of each individual is handled.

    The most interesting moba experience I've had yet. Progress chosen hero's building them with loot (Talents) gained after every match. CoupleThe most interesting moba experience I've had yet. Progress chosen hero's building them with loot (Talents) gained after every match. Couple this with innovative design and the most responsive controls I've ever seen, makes for my new Moba home. Oh, and it's free to play... All it needs now is a larger community. Don't understand the copy and paste reviews out there. Listen to the people who actually play it. Expand

    Prime World has what most people would expect from a MOBA: Decent graphics and animations that, while not the best out there, do their workPrime World has what most people would expect from a MOBA: Decent graphics and animations that, while not the best out there, do their work really well, a 5v5 map with three lanes and jungle with a river splitting it by half.
    But Prime World also offers much more, it offers different modes, like a one-lane 3v3, a 4v4 race through the jungle, and variations to the usual 5v5 map.
    There are, however, two special points that make Prime World stand over the rest of MOBAs. One, is it's customization thanks to the talent system, a well designed system that allows you to modify your hero to better suit your style.
    The second one is, and this is the most amazing thing, the community. Prime World's community is one of the less toxic communities in the MOBA genre, if not the least toxic. The rules are clear, Nival doesn't like toxicity and it's dealt with in a severe fashion, starting with bans for a while to bans forever.
    If you come to play Prime World, you will find that which you love from other MOBAs, and more.

    Prime World strives to bring change to the MOBA genre with the developer actively engaging with the community to make changes based on playerPrime World strives to bring change to the MOBA genre with the developer actively engaging with the community to make changes based on player feedback. Nival approaches their players as the heart of the experience by actively reaching out for them to engage themselves with feedback, and to involve themselves in the community.

    As others have mentioned the game has a fantastic castle building element which allows for experience gains for the player in the same fashion as a summoner level, and for individual heroes through the Inn which lets you send heroes on quests to obtain XP and loot. When you have obtained higher Lord levels you will be able to unlock new heroes, and hero buildings which give minor in-game stat bonuses, making the castle very worthwhile to improve.

    Gameplay is very similar to those who are familiar with genre, however the experience is much more involved and satisfying due to the talent system. Talents are obtained from playing games, and from certain buildings in the castle. These talents allows players to tailor each hero to suit their playstyle in the same fashion of an RPG, with heroes also having levels independent of each other which give points with each level to allocate to an attribute of your choosing. This is a great system as it really keeps you engaged and focused to have long term satisfaction.

    The only downside is the current issue of players being uneven in matchmaking skill. Initially this was not an issue as longer queue times ensured even matchups, however the community asked for change to reduce queue times, and a sacrifice in quality was made. This can be frustrating for those who are new and feel overwhelmed by the skill gaps. Given more time, once players establish themselves more the ratings will even out in much the same way as LoL did, so it's only a temporary issue.

    Overall I would recommend everybody give Prime World a crack, and really get involved in the community so they can understand the mechanics of the game and have a great time.

    Unfortunately, due to character limit I can't go into deep detail about Prime World. But, here's my review:

    I love it! Talents are a nice change and provide a different level of building. The zuma game has a lot of controversy from newer players but trust me, it's a must. Not really a must has in it has to stay in the game, but a must has in you'll want someone playing zuma. The scrolls really help lanes (scrolls like healing over time) and other scrolls for late game that can completely turn around fights. It also allows everyone to solo lane and not lose out on Prime. I've been playing Prime World since the closed betas that began several months ago. I absolutely enjoy this game and would recommended it to anyone.

    Let me note a few downsides though. Currently, we have a rather low population. Now, since the game just released on Steam that should be gaining us a lot of players. This is what will solve the major problem of Prime World which is Matchmaking. Prime World's Matchmaking focuses on getting the players in games rather than sitting in queue for hours on end. This causes unbalanced games to occur at times. Such as, higher ratings vs low ratings that leave little chance for the lower players to win. However, increasing the populating will fix this issue and Steam should take care of that. The other negative note is hero balance. Overall, the balance of Prime World is, well balanced. However, there is always room for improvement and Prime World isn't exempt from that.
