the original Gemcraft TD game was the first game I played on Kongregate. I like this one even better. I like having choices about which field to pursue, and the diff ways to adjust the xp multiplier. Grafix and sound fx are sweet too. good job!

I really enjoy playing this game. I am currently the closest to completing it than ever. I especially like the hotkeys. I use them often and they can be really helpful! In many other games I have played, the hotkeys haven't been very helpful but in this game I rarely use the mouse during a level. I also quite enjoy going back to past levels and changing up the monster stats. Five stars.

LOL - The 'Final Stage Completed' badge being only worth 30 points is laughable. It is easily one of the top-ten hardest badges to invest your time in and ultimtely achieve on Kongregate. It should be a cool 100 points easy....

The game is really nice, the commands are really well made, and it has big improvements from the last GemCraft as Assassination167 pointed out. There is a major problem in my opinion, however: the game is too repetitive for its length. You have 169 levels, you have some different modes and ways to customize them. Even so, after the 50o time playing, you start to get a repetitive feeling. No new enemies or enemies habilities, no new objectives, no new powers: changing starting gem, or enemy wave order, or a little configuration in the map is not enough for 169 levels, even with the customization.

Games with premium features are ok, I know that devs must eat too. But making challenges that can only be won, if you have the premium version is too much (i.e., if you need to beat 100 waves, but the level usually has only 12 waves, you need endurance mode to get to wave 100)

Fantastic game. The disparity between premium is pretty large. I just got a 500+ multiplier, 1,000,000 xp map completion with endurance mode. Without premium my best multiplier was only about 40.

I'm still playing this game after 2 years or more and it still entertains. A stalwart and a firm favourite. Thank you developer.

Well, I just did the first level 240 times to get my last Amulet: Win 400 Battles. Boy that was annoying, getting all the Challenge Amulets, and being stuck with a boring, grinding Amulet from having 100% completion of the game. The game still gets 5/5 Stars though, and now I'm completely ready for Gemcraft 2!
