Feared... if tds are all the same does that make all racing games the same? all shooting games the same? Doesnt your point mean adding any new game is pointless unless someone comes up with a completely new concept? Btw this game is legendary 5/5.

Just beat the final boss. it was ridiculously easy. i had 7 towers total on the top and 4 at the bottom. has a grade 7 of red, lime, blue, purple, green, yellow and orange. by the time the boss came i had 24k mana and i just let him keep going. I moved my yellow orange purple and green to the bottom (by hardest hitters and for mana and armor) when he got out of range and it was a cake walk.

I decided to count from the first 90 games in strategy section how many TDs (counting series as one TD for my own reasons). there were 14 TDs out of 90 games. Most of them were good games so i dont know what you are talking about.

feared, that doesnt belong in this games comments, that should be in cursed treasures, Gemcraft brought several new things to the table, and definitely deserves its rating. And comparing TD games on kong to newgrounds hentai is the stupidest comparison ive ever seen.

im sick of people making tower defence games, its now like the most commenly made type of game and all because 3 or 4 td's like gemcraft got popular, because they were good, it just fills every single flash game portal up with tower defences. Newgrounds got filled with hentai, kongregate is getting filled up with tower defences, pls, everyone stop rating so high on td's that are equaly as good as others, and basicly the same game cept different enemy looks, and dont make so many TD's, dont make kongregate get filled with the same genre the same way newgrounds got filled with hentai.

For the Final Battle, it's imperative to have a purple gem to take down the Epic Boss's armor. Without it, you'll never deplete his massive amounts of HP before he gets to your tower. However, not having a purple gem on the final wave, I found that by moving around the 6 orange gems I had, I could drain enough mana (7080) to banish him over and over again. It's a viable, albeit slow, alternative.

Great game, If you want to beat the epic levels spend you skill points on number of starter gems of highest level, upgrade mana per kill and send as many waves as possible at the start. then upgrade mana pool spell, and keep going untill the monster look like there pushing through then start upgrading gems, make sure you have around 7000 mana to finish the boss so you can make it go round twice! good luck! :)

alsied, replaying levels only gives you score for the improvment over your last time. So if the first time you got 700,000 and replay it and get 750,000, you only get 50,000 in exp

fun game.. but gem combination should be able to be done in the towers.. instead of putting the gem back in the slots and combining then putting back it to the tower

I've been stuck on level 9 and can't beat the first epic level!! Replaying the lower levels and getting a higher score doesn't seem to improve my overall score?

build a few towers nearby the village so that when enemies reaches there, I can still swap gems from other locations to there instead of making more expensive gems.

low leveled gems are a waste of mana eventually. I usually create the highest level of gem that my mana allows me to create, say level 4. Then upgrade my mana pool until the gem barely holds off enemies, get another level 4 or a level 5 gem. Make sure to have 2 level 5 gems before starting to create level 6 gems for survival reason. Then I keep upgrade mana pool until I am confident to make a level 6 gem. combine 2 level 5 gems to make another level 6 ...

just beat the first epic level myself. I just palyed normally, by the time the boss got there i had 5 towers total, 2 level 7s 2 level 6 and a level 5, once he was out of range of the level 7s and 6 (the first 3) i used them as bombs and killed him JUST before he entered,

I love the gemcraft series, but i cannot udnerstand how the epic level is possible. the final mosnter has 10k hp and if he makes it tot he end you lose, period. My biggest complaint with th Gemcraft series is there is absolutely no grinding for xp that a TD game NEEDS to have. playing a level to get a higher score, then only getting the different is bullshit

modulx its not specific levels that contain hidden ones, fe if you max the first 6 levels you unlock the first hidden level.

Well I killed final boss in 1 round. Just make sure, you have always slow, poison and armorreduce shooting on him. Shock is also nice (I had 2 most of the time)
Ofcourse all gems level 7 or higher :)

This time I used 15 Gem Bombs on the First Epic Boss. Too lazy to even shift the gems. XD But instead, this time I score an even higher score because of the amulets. =D

The bad thing about Ctrl+Combine Gem is that you can't combine them with the SAME colour, especially when you have maxed your pure gem mastery. Maybe they can create a Shift+Combine Gem. ;)
