azuarc 11/19/20 4:42:50 PM #88:	Looks like maybe I'm going to do another fast day. 32. Gemcraft Chasing Shadows Genre Tower-defense Gameplay: 5 Rest of Game: 2 Engagement: 8 New to Me: 5 Playtime: 5 Total score: 25/40 Song selection: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7osw7zyvwOs My first exposure to TDS was Defense Grid: The Awakening. I played the crap out of that. However, in the years since, Ive found very few tower defense games that could hold my interest that well. My friend suggested Gemcraft. At a glance it didnt look like anything special. It was originally a browser game, and the lack of graphics or decent UI shows. That rest of game score is absolutely deserved. However it accomplished something most games below it did not it captured my attention, to the tune of 50 hours played. Gemcraft really doesnt look like much at first, but theres tremendous room for growth both by leveling up and by playing smarter. Plus, with as many levels as the game has, rarely do you get stuck behind a single gate the way a more linear world map would. The story is virtually non-existent. You are a mage who summons towers and conjures gems that defend against the hordes of attacking monsters. The monsters dont do anything except attempt to reach your core. Theyre being manipulated by some big bad that has been trapped in a prison for generations and wants to break free. Your goal is to arrive and re-seal its prison. So yeah, its pretty bare bones stuff. But as far as tower defense, its got it all. Maze building, tower variety, spells you can toss out to interact with the level, bonus stage objectives beyond just kill em all. I wouldnt necessarily recommend it as babys first TDS, but if youve played others, this is worth a go. Should you play it?: See last statement.
