GemCraft Chapter 0: Gem of Eternity

This tower defense strategy game has a very high replay value. There are a lot of amulets to win (trophies in the game), skills to complete learning, and so many levels and 9 battle modes each level. All these probably contribute to the fact that it takes a while to load but it's all worth it.

The graphics are great and you get to save your game (uses local disc space) which is really a necessity because you won't be able to finish collecting all amulets in one day if that's your goal.

There are keyboard shortcuts that will help you get through the game easier, including a keyboard shortcut for gamespeed - which I think every strategy game should have especially for those waves that have really slow moving enemies.

Controls

Q - for game speed

Hold shift to:

I've enjoyed playing this game and have collected 69 unique amulets so far.

TIPS:

- If you can't beat a level, you can re-distribute skill points and activate the skills that you really need for that level.
- I have Dual Gem Mastery upgraded max and found it very helpful in all levels. I try to combine Lime gems with everything else... Lime gems make shots bounce and thus damage a lot more enemies with one shot. And if combined with other gems, each shot carries the other gems' attributes (double damage, slow, etc).
- Try not to create towers, traps and not use bombs if it can be helped. These are the easiest amulets or bonuses you can get in a game.
- You can play a level several times but it doesn't mean that the points (experience) stack up. For example, if you finish level 1 in normal mode with 700 points, the 2nd time you finish it with 724 points, only 24 points will be added to the experience.

I'm a lover of free online games and it saved me from boredom several times in my lifetime. While I started with console games back in the days of Family Computer, Atari, Playstation X, Dreamcast, GameGear, Gameboy, GameNWatch... upto the serious world of MMORPG.

For the online games, I never stop playing a game until I beat it and try to beat everyone else' score. I have several sites I visit everyday for new games and it has always been a struggle to find games that are worth playing without clicking on some crappy ones (waste of loading time).

I hope most, if not all will find my selections in games, to match theirs.
