Gems of War - Puzzle RPG

A very fun but very poorly balanced game. I want to cover four quick points. [h1]Lack of balance part 1 - the reason for nearly all negative reviews here (and a workaround!)[/h1] In Gems of War the primary gameplay is broken down into games you either play against AI created teams in a variety of scenarios, or in games you play against real teams created by other players that the AI controls. The balance for the AI created teams is a bit messed up. It starts out trivially easy but scales up incredibly rapidly and caps at around level 50. The problem is that you'll soon find yourself unable to effectively compete against the AI teams. At this point it seems lots of people decide it's either go pay-to-win or call it quits. There's a much better solution. Go play PvP. PvP will pair you against more fairly matched teams. You'll get better rewards and be able to continue leveling up your cards and team. Since the AI team scaling stops at level 50, by the time you come back to it - it'll ...

I saw this game on my friend's profile and saw that he has over 200 hours logged on it. I checked Gems of War out on it's store page and thought that it seemed pretty lame. One day out of sheer boredom I decided to download it and give it a try. I have my roots playing Magic the Gathering back in college with my friends. Since then, I've always been search for a game on PC that was as much fun and as addicting as that was. I've tried Hearthstone, Shadowverse, and many others. None come close to Gems of War. The others have their high points and aren't bad games but the fact that Gems of War has a guild system makes the grind that much easier. If you're looking for fancy graphics, you won't find them here but overall the game is very well done. Best of all, it's free. Give it a try, you'll end up gettting as addicted as I am.

Be prepared for these error messages along with many other error messages! Game is good but crippled by the fact that the game requires constant access to servers! and the only way out is to close the application using Task Manager. You may have won an epic battle that has taken 30 minutes, but if your connection times out at the end of a battle it just doesn't matter and the victory will be for nought. 505 or Infinity Plus 2 sort your servers or you will lose players!

Game cheats like hell, Don't play and definately don't pay to win

This game use to be a great enjoyment. But lately I spend more time timing out of the server after a battle or it wont connect to the server, over and over. Very ignoring.

Good, casual, fun game. However, after you've invested a couple of hours into it the enemies start getting stronger and stronger and it becomes more of a trial and error. Tedious. The only way to make it fun again is to make the purchases - buy the gems, the gold and purchase stuff. Upgrade your army so that you can finally make some progress again. Rinse & Repeat. So in the end it's not really free unless you're okay with a few hours only.

Garbage game, garbage boomer community full of hatred and horde mentality, greedy, ungrateful asshole developers that I've kept alive in this lockdown crisis with my hard earned money. Highly not recommended.

Recommended, it is a very good game well supported by the developers. Game updates frequently and bugs are glitches are fixed rapidly. Very nice casual puzzle game with lots of variety. You can play it on Steam with PC and you can also play the same account on a smart phone, either Android or iOS. The battles are completely random after a certain point and this makes some people like it while others hate it. In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with random, it is just ... well, random. Deal with it and try to have fun, is all you can do. In most cases you win, sometimes you lose. Is there anybody who always wins in blackjack or poker? No, obviously not, you've got to lose occasionally. Do you get mad when you lose? Sure. Does it make you stop playing? No, not really. So, just get over it. There are some bad boards when you will lose no matter what you do. The main idea is to minimize these instances. Which is achieved through strategic development of your kingdoms, the cards, various...

The best "Puzzle Quest" since the original, made by those same developers! Featuring new content weekly and developers that are very engaged with their players. To get the most out of the game, find a good guild ASAP and check out the official forums. My hours played is much higher than what you see here, since I usually play on iOS. (You can use the same account across the PC, iOS, and Android versions.)

This is a fun and addicting game. I've been able to join one of the top guilds, which makes the game a lot better. Very good community and everybody seems to be very helpful. The forums are very active and informative and the devs are active and quick to get bugs fixed. Very much worth checking out. I love that I can switch from PC to mobile version as well.
