Reviews for "GemCraft 0"

the difficulty is fine as is

When playing you need to be smart about where you put towers / traps and how you use the talents.

Tips:
__________
Scatter towers far enough so that their radius (range) don't intersect while at the same time covering as much road ground as it can. This will make it so there aren't any wasted shots on enemies that die while one tower hits and the other misses the already dead target.
__________
Check to see what hue the enemies are, from what I have noticed, if you attack a mob that has the same color of the tower that's attacking it, the mob will take less damage. (not entirely certain about this one)
__________
Don't use spare gems (gems with a hue you are not using) as gem bombs, unless it is entirely necessary (like taking out nodes, Tower Block, Trap Block, Arcane Blocks). You can save them and transmute three of them at a time by gembombing them with a color hue you need, they need to be on the same row (left to right [x|x|x]) It can help you build up higher grades with colors you want / need for the level.

good, but

The worst difficulty curve I have ever seen, and i have played some pretty aggravating games. tone it down a little.

Solid tower defense! A+

A solid tower defense game incorporating an immersive story line.

Very simple to pick up & play. Build towers, make gems, combine gems, use gems as missiles to throw at the enemy, lay traps, gem traps. Storylined. 10/10 for a well thought out, well constructed game.

Love the inclusion of skills & in game achievements.

The only problems i have with your game..

- Is the insane difficulty curve

- few strategies can work to beat levels (trial-and-error gameplay)
--- The fact that a simple mistake will gimp an attempt at beating a map and force a restart is bad imho, but there is hardly any way to avoid it.

- that the game is only fun much, much later on when you have enough XP to actually have some tactical flexibility with your skills. So the early games are long, boring and hard.

- Gem distribution hardly seems fair/or really random in maps.. some types seem to be rarer on purpose.. or maybe im just that unlucky.

Otherwise, the interface works VERY well, its a solid system you got at work here. SHortcuts everywhere when need them, the game is clearly explained, everything is readable and all information is available at a glance.
And of course, the graphics are pretty.

Strategy guide gives good tips, but they are mostly usefull for higher level gameplay.. not much help for early ones.

WOW

Great game, more "in-depth" than any other online game out there. i love it and i am addicted to it .
