* AntiPoopSocking: The game will tell you when your locksmith is full, so you can't collect more chests from beating levels or winning Arena battles, to encourage you to take a break.



** Similarly, you obtain Bane very early on, but the random area his healing affects is likely to give you broad coverage, his Primal gauge charges quickly enough that he can be used frequently, and his commonness in chests makes him cheap and easy to upgrade.

* ArtificialStupidity: The AI likes to activate Primal abilities as soon as they're charged, regardless of whether that would actually be a good move, such as attacking a fixed area where there are no units to damage.

** Squy is the first Rare hero you obtain, but sees frequent use in campaign levels and [=PvP=] because his HerdHittingAttack wipes out large numbers of basic units, dealing damage in the high double digits depending on his level, and can chip away at enemy Heroes, especially those that occupy two or three units since they're larger targets.

''Primal Legends'' is a MobilePhoneGame published by French/Scottish developers [[http://www.kobojo.com/en/games/ Kobojo]]. The game's [[ExcusePlot story]] tasks players with assembling an army of mercenaries to save Theria, a fantasy land [[WorldOfFunnyAnimals populated entirely by anthropomorphic animals]], from the forces of [[HelloInsertNameHere your]] brother, the EvilOverlord Rog. In addition to the collectible Heroes, you are joined by [=NPCs=] such as the fast-talking squirrel Jayce, the tough wolf Kareen, and the elk mage Alcor. The game boasts hand-drawn graphics, a limited but lush soundtrack, and core gameplay that's a unique spin on the "MatchThreeGame with RPGElements" formula popularized by the likes of ''VideoGame/PuzzleAndDragons.'' The boards of both the player and the opponent, whether that's the CPU in the campaign or another player in [[PlayerVersusPlayer the Arena]], are displayed onscreen. When you make a match of red, blue, yellow, or green units, a small amount of damage is inflicted on the leading edge of your opponent's board. Hundreds of HitPoints are the standard, and standard matches only inflict between 15 and 25, so they won't get you far. Make enough matches of a Hero's color, and you will fill their Primal gauge, be able to place them on your board, and activate their unique [[LimitBreak Primal ability]]. ''That's'' when you're able to deal out the real damage, and when you need to start considering surprisingly complex strategy of choosing and positioning Heroes, and timing their attacks.

A trailer is available to watch [[http://www.primal-legends.com/ on the official site]].

!!This game contains examples of the following tropes:
* BearsAreBadNews: Torr and Drall are both bears that launch strong attacks in straight lines, with Drall essentially being an Epic-rarity version of Torr.
* BoringButPractical:
** Squy is the first Rare hero you obtain, but sees frequent use in campaign levels and [=PvP=] because his HerdHittingAttack wipes out large numbers of basic units, dealing damage in the high double digits depending on his level, and can chip away at enemy Heroes, especially those that occupy two or three units since they're larger targets.
** Similarly, you obtain Bane very early on, but the random area his healing affects is likely to give you broad coverage, his Primal gauge charges quickly enough that he can be used frequently, and his commonness in chests makes him cheap and easy to upgrade.
* CaptainErsatz: Gwynn is [[WesternAnimation/{{Frozen2013}} Elsa]] as an ermine.
* CheapGoldCoins: The basic currency of the game, used for leveling up your Heroes once you collect enough cards of them from treasure chests.
* ColorCodedCharacters: Different colors of Hero tend to have broadly similar abilities, though none are hard-and-fast categories:
** Many Red heroes focus on dealing [[HerdHittingAttack moderate damage to wide areas of the board]], often with an element of randomness to them, such as Hiru, Squy, Kiit, Erys, Liu, Wakaï, Kaala, and Shura. Exceptions include Isiaaki[[note]]directly inflicts damage on the opponent's HP bar[[/note]] and Cipaï [[note]]directly restores a small amount of ''your'' HP, not bolstering the health of your units[[/note]].
** Yellow heroes are still mostly offense-focused but more precise attackers, often targeting single columns (Torr, Drall, Horis), rows (Tali), or enemy heroes (Limbani, Horis again, Skunkix, Waru, Hembala) for more damage. Exceptions include Masha[[note]]boosts the eight units encircling her[[/note]] and Asaro[[note]]turns himself into a one-unit StoneWall and boosts yellow units when summoned[[/note]].
** Many Green heroes, such as Bane, Borg, Rey, Sokal, Kane, Styr, and Pyk, are {{Support Party Member}}s that increase your units' health or other stats. Exceptions include Rod[[note]][[ConfusionFu randomly places bombs that explode at random times and inflict random effects]] on your opponent's board]][[/note]] and Jasser[[note]]inflicts damage on 2x2 areas at the corners of your opponent's board[[/note]].
** Blue heroes like to inflict a variety of status effects such as freezing (Gwynn, Konil) or poison (Uku, Nara). Exceptions include Huron[[note]]deals heavy damage to a random 3x3 area[[note]] and Mori[[note]]boosts a 4x2 area at the center of your board[[/note]].
* ExcusePlot: Your brother Rog is an EvilOverlord trying to take over Theria, go battle his armies!
* GatlingGood: Squy is a squirrel whose Primal attack is to spray machine-gun fire all over the opponent's board.
* HonorableElephant:
** Maarrar is an elephant who grants much more life than other "healer" Heroes to the row in front of him.
** Sokal the mammoth is also a healer, affecting all of the two back rows.
* AnIcePerson: Gwynn and Konil can [[StandardStatusEffects freeze]] opposing units, although in the latter's case it's a homemade FreezeRay rather than magic.
* LifeDrain: The green hero Chasqa can do this, inflicting damage on a random enemy Hero and gaining that much of her own health. Naturally, [[BloodsuckingBats she's a bat, and the animation for this is a bite]].
* LightningBruiser: For a given value of "speed" in this game. Huron becomes this over the course of a match he's in because he has massive HP and attack power (enough to one-shot weaker heroes or two-shot most), and recharges more quickly after each use.
* ALizardNamedLiz: Many of the characters are named this way:
** A squirrel named Squy.
** An elk named Alcor.
** A moose (''Alces alces'') named Alceyr.
* MasterPoisoner: Uku the [[YouDirtyRat rat]] is described as such in his lore. His Primal skill is to inflict damage and poison on the enemy Hero with the most life.
* NationalAnimalStereotypes: Masha is a snowy owl with a ([[WhatTheHellIsThatAccent poor attempt at a) Scandinavian accent.
* NobleWolf: Played straight with Gyle.
--> ''"A helpful soul, he will readily sacrifice himself for his friends, family, and clan. If Gyle were to one day disappear, the Wolf pack's soul would likely die with him."''
* PremiumCurrency: Like most mobile games like this. Here, it's Rubies.
* RascallyRaccoon: Hiru and Huron are raccoons who [[MadBomber relish in experimenting with exploding potions]].
* RhinoRampage: Roku is a rhino Hero whose ability is to increase the power of the row he's placed in and then launch them all at the opponent.
* SituationalSword: Some heroes are only really useful in specific level types.
** Liu is best for destroying targets situated in the center of the board. His coverage and attack power are otherwise outclassed by other red Heroes.
** Wakaï absolutely breaks any level where you're tasked with destroying a target that does not move forward from the back two rows. [[AnticlimaxBoss Bosses almost always take up the entirety of this area]].
** Pyk is most often used in levels where you must protect a Hero or house.
* SquishyWizard: Gwynn the [[AnIcePerson ice mage]] has low HP for an Epic-rarity hero, since she's the first one you get.
* StoneWall: Some heroes in this game:
** Pyk's purpose. He's ''three'' units long, has a massive HP stat that slightly regenerates every turn, and activating his Primal gauge increases his defense.
** Asaro's skill is simply to regenerate his own health.
* SuicideAttack: The ability of Banka the armadillo lizard. His Primal skill is solely to build up power for launching a powerful frontal attack when he's killed.
* SupportPartyMember: Comes in two flavors:
** Healers like Bane, Masha, and Mori, who grant "life" (HP and attack power) to units in their area of effect.
** Boosters like Styr and Taï, who grant other favorable effects to your heroes like increasing attack and defense, or decreasing their Primal gauge requirements.
* TallPoppySyndrome: Some Heroes, such as Uku and Limbani, target the enemy Hero with the most HP remaining.
* TimedMission: Some campaign levels task you with destroying a target within a certain number of turns. If you fail to do this, the target will activate and deal an unsurvivably ridiculous amount of damage, defeating you immediately.
* VocalDissonance: Some of the voice lines, especially those shared between characters.
** The teenaged Hiru and the adult Huron share the same high-pitched voice line.
** Torr is a young man, but also an anthropomorphic bear, and so has a gruff but mid-ranged voice line. Drall is an older and even larger bear, but uses the same.
** Kiit and Sokal use the same "My ancestors are with me!" clip. Kiit is a meerkat and Sokal is a ''mammoth''.
* WorldOfFunnyAnimals: Played straight. CarnivoreConfusion is never addressed, and there are no human characters to be seen.
** WorldOfMammals: For the most part. The vast majority of heroes are mammals, though there are some birds (Horis the hawk, Masha the snowy owl, Floyd the flamingo), reptiles (Banka the armadillo lizard), and amphibians (Nara the frog, Shura and Shi the salamanders).
