Breathing some much needed life into the genre, GemCraft's innovative gem-combination-system made the game an instant classic and had players clamoring for a sequel ever since GemCraft Chapter 2: Chasing Shadows was alluded to in the original's credits."
Gemcraft 2: Chasing Shadows is finally out!
Does the sequel hold up to its predecessors? Find out at Ryan's Game Ryviews:

"GemCraft Chapter Zero is impressive for a variety of reasons, but the simplest is how it manages to take such a simple objective as the tower defense genre usually presents and make it so darned appealing. And this is coming from someone who can't usually play these games without zoning out after five minutes and wondering what's on Discovery Channel. One of my only real complaints is how largely silent the game is aside from its sound effects. A few simple music tracks in the background of the battle screen-where you spend the lion's share of your time-would have been nice, but honestly, I got so absorbed in what I was doing that I forgot all about it before long. Any fan of tower defense games shouldn't miss this one, but even those who may not normally be interested in them should at least give it a try. It's made me a convert, and should sit comfortably as king of the hill for a long time to come."
The prequel to one of the most addictive flashgames ever created has been released on armorgames.com. Gemcraft: Chapter Zero - Gem of Eternity is possibly the best web-based tower defense game yet. Enjoy!
