A new Gemcraft ? Three months since it was released ? WHY WASN'T I INFORMED ???!!!!! Time to put my social life where it belongs - on hold. First few levels seem great, if a little too easy. Message to all my friends - see you in a month or so.

If you have problems with the early waves dont spend all your skill points.
You will have more initial mana when you have unspent skill points.

@Pfaden: I find it quite surprising that you have beaten every game in the franchise but have trouble on the first few waves nearly every level in this one. Considering you don't seem to have a problem with the ending waves, I'm assuming you have your skills set up for an easy late game. Take some points out of your skills, especially the high level ones, that will increase your starting mana. Should help you out.

so disappointed that some of the best features of the game are now pay 2 play. change this and it will be 5 star, sadly only 1 because of it.

Also, you need to be more open about sleeping hives. There's nothing that says they get harder each hit, and that screwed me out of a win that I had because I thought they were just all the same when they came out. Very disappointed on that.

What I hate is that if you REALLY want to complete a level, you have to keep restarting it until you get the slowest 1st and 2nd wave as possible, otherwise your gems aren't going to hit more than once. And the damage varies so much that it could do 10 damage twice, at that point you're screwed.

Love this series, and this installment was no different. I just REALLY don't like the whole idea of paying real cash for items. I love internet games because they are free, paying for items IMO defeats the purpose and honestly for me it ruins the game.

Numpad hotkeys? no ability to switch hot keys? lol, bro do you even laptop? i'm not playing on Windows 95 and I'm certainly not using a full keyboard. lolololololololololol

I wouldn't mind paying for some extra things but i was really hoping endurance mode would be free. that is IMO the best part of the game.

I love the gemcraft series, I could play this for days. Incredibly deep and nuanced gameplay, as usual. But now you allow clipboard saves? YES. THANK YOU.

what the hell is with all the giants? damn i can't make any progress because why not throw an absurd amount of giants that just don't die regardless of amplifiers and gem upgrades
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Yes, how dare a Game dev attempt to make money. How dare they also let us choose to play the game for free instead and still make it perfectly playable and beatable. Those jerks.

Are you kidding me? SAVES are not server side? I just lost EVERYTHING because I cleaned a bunch of temporary internet files. WTF

This game was really fun until it suddenly jumped in difficulty by way too much. Obviously It's a method to make you buy a bunch of extra stuff. BUT is is so much fun i almost spent Kreds on it.

@quirri and anyone else with spire issues. i the map has poison available, USE IT. set the gem to target spires b4 anything else. poison completely ignores the max dmg the spire can take with each hit. use beam on the poison gem too if u can. makes a mess of any spire
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
sorry, but sometimes this game is really unbalanced. even if you are level 90, fighting your way through 60 waves (uff, almost done...) and then being presented a spire with 600.000 hp (f... you!) is really unfair. i fought my way through it for some weeks now and the challange just keeps rising to "frustrating".

I have bought this on Steam and on Armor Games (two very different versions) so I haven't decided whether to buy this or not, or if I even need to. Probably most others feel similar... Gamestop dropped the ball by not getting this game earlier, (probably because it's not a pay-to-win MMO.)

@samegerilja: Hit the "b" on your keyboard, then select the gem you want to bomb. Use the left click of your mouse to click and HOLD the gem, then pick your target and left click again. Rinse. Repeat. Enjoy

Am i the only one who does not get the gem bomb to work? Isn't it just holding shift and click b or the gem bomb in inventory? For me it does not work. And i need it to work on some levels to demolish walls.

i MAY have gone too far with endurance. running on haunting diff, alrdy earned 13 MILLION xp, and the monster hp lvls have gone to scientific formulas(example: monster hp: 4578 e12)

great tip for those having issues. once u get enough achievements in game, reset em. gives a bonus of 120 skill points at the cost of losing all achievements and the skill points u got with em. but u can get em all again anyway so.....

Amazing game. I still rated a 5 even though this was probably an isolated incident, but on field v4 after all the waves were destroyed and the shadow was destroyed, it said I had 3 monsters still attacking. So I've waited it out for about 5 mins and placed gems in towers around the field to see if a monster glitched off the path somehow, but to no avail. As I said, probably an isolated incident, but I thought I'd want to let you know.

I love Gemcraft. It's always been my favorite tower defense game. That being said, I'm very disappointed that they now have buy-to-play features. To me this is a sell out move and any game that employs this tactic is trashy.
