Awesome. I finally beat the last level of Sin of Maraj!! Woohooo! I play this everyday, several times a day. There’s sooo much to do...the PVP, the exploring, the chests, the quests, the daily adventure, all to advance and strengthen your troops. It’s a lot of strategy plus luck. I have no complaints about this game, and it gives me hours of fun! Getting new troops is fun and forging traitstones and all the other things you can forge is really cool. You can join a guild and get better rewards. This is way more than a “match 3” game. Kudos to the devs.

Lots of content - paywalls can be overcome. The gameplay is fun for the most part aside from whatever game breaking mythic or card combo that makes PvP unplayable. The best news being that PvP does not lock any content rewards so you can play a good portion of the game without it. The mythic/legendary/whatever drop rate is abysmal but join a good guild and you’ll get something worth working with more sooner than later. Most important is synergy between your cards and it will take a while to gather a decent team but when you do you’ll be able to clear endgame content - even that will rely on luck on many an occasion. It’s fun - just minus 1 star for the obscene difficulty of Pet Rescue (without damage reduction ANY matched skulls WILL kill one of your team in the last 2 stages) and the inability to save your team in that mode (and Delve). Seriously though - good game.

A well-balanced game. It combines the best features of card and tile-puzzle games with a concise, interesting narrative. Indeed, I have been intrigued to discover what turn the story will take. I am only at level 50, but so far the battles have been exciting without being impossibly difficult. The art is excellent and each card has a sufficiently different effect so that editing one’s deck (or in the terminology of the game, “troops”) is amusing. Since I have been playing for free, I cannot comment on the paid options, but I have acquired a large collection of attractive cards from the free chests.

This game is going downhill fast.. First of all with this last update I have never seen so many new players quit the game after just a few days. You are locked into a boring group of kingdom stories and have to finish them all before you can unlock the soul forge which could have been really helpful at the beginning. My niece started the game, joined my clan and we helped in every way we could and even when she hit level 100 still didn’t have a decent team to do much with and she was only halfway through the mandatory boring kingdom stories. She quit of course and is now playing Puzzles and Dragons and having a blast. This game has terrible loot chest drops, cheating AI, and with each update it goes more towards pay to win. New players don’t have a chance. People who have played from the beginning have weapons and creatures that are much harder to get now. So do yourself a favor and play a different game. This one will just make you angry. Oh also pay attention to dev responses especially the stupid one that says they tested the AI and it DOESNT cheat then they go on to say in fact IT CHEATS for the player which it does not. So they say it doesn’t cheat then admits it does. If it did cheat for the player there wouldn’t be so many AI cheating complaints. They must think we are stupid. Do not support them!

Linking account is buggy and you lose everything!!. So I thought this was a fun game. I spend 2-3 days and also bought plenty of stuff to speed things up a bit. But when I wanted to make sure I could play this on my iPhone as well, I got into their account linking “hell”. When I tried to use a different email address, I again never got an email to set up my password, but worse: next time I started the game, it started completely new. Trying to log a problem on their website and they force you to look at all other problems and you can’t even log anything new easily. I’m sure this was not intentional, but I do feel scammed out of $75 or so. I would NOT spend any of your money on this game as you will likely lose it

Too much variety. GoW, at its core, is a fun game. The number of team building options are fantastic, and the guild system does a great job rewarding those who’ve worked together within the game for a long time. The recent changes are obvious attempts at monetization that have diluted that system, though. The pets are pointless. Guild Wars are still a ton of fun, but the Raid Boss and Invasion events are dull grindfests that lack variety and encourage gem spending to progress beyond a certain plateau. That plateau comes a lot sooner if you don’t have top-tier troops for that week’s event, a more likely outcome now that the drop rates for Mythics have plummeted (except in VIP chests, I’d guess). Let guilds choose which events they want to do—if a guild wants to only play Guild Wars every week, let them do that. You can incentivize variety by allowing guilds that play the three different events type to gain more rewards, but those of us who would gladly sacrifice rewards to have more fun should be able to do so. As it is, I find myself virtually ignoring the game two out of three weeks, and I doubt that’s the outcome the devs want for dedicated players.

Would give negative stars if I could. It’s takes a minimum of 60-70 matches just get what you need to fully upgrade ONE character. You have to do runs of explore and one run is 5-6 matches(5 regular one mini boss). But realistically it’s more like hundreds of matches because the game is literally always dropping exactly what the enemies need. I cannot tell you how many times I am one move away from winning just for the game to drop what the enemies need to kill me. There have been times where I literally have not got a turn for MINUTES because the game just keeps dropping the enemy team extra turns. You will almost never see turns like that for yourself. And then if you do get lucky to complete a full run you better hope to get lucky again and actually get what you need from the run. You can play for hours just doing these runs and not see a single thing you need. And you have to do this for every character so good luck actually getting better characters

Phenomenal game+support. I downloaded Gems of War again after being away for quite awhile and when i tried to log back in my account i couldn't log back in. I ended up just starting over and fell in love with the game again while waiting for support to help with my lost account. I was helped by support member Kafka and I'm glad to hear he/she was able to locate my lost account and is helping me get back to it. Any other game i know from experience wouldn't even try as hard as they did. I applaud yall for taking time and effort in helping out.

Favorite match-3 rpg. It all started one Saturday morning. I was looking for good games on the AppStore when I stumbled upon this game. (Wish I could use the name but I can’t cuz of copyright) so I decided to download it. At first I thought it was fun. But not super fun. As I continued to play the game I got more overpowered troops that mad me win so many battles! I just could not think of a better match 3 rpg game. I have played for days and days and days and days and then... I got my first mythic troop. I was so happy I fell of my couch. Then... I got like 4 legendaries from one chest! I always get so exited to see what I get from the chests. I get legendary troops most of the time. And I’m ok with that but I really want a new mythic troop. I just found out that a troop level cap is 20. So yeah... so now I’m playing this game like 24/7. Not really. But this is a really great game and I hope many more updates come in the future!!!

Outstanding Match 3 RPG. This match system challenges you to plan your moves on multiple levels. Abilities and damage actions usually end your turn, while matching 4+ mana or using utility abilities can extend your turn. Like PQ, you need to avoid giving your opponent the colors they need, while still making your own headway. Could easily be a perfect 5. There are some small complaints though. The UI is functional but unattractive. At times, it can be hard to understand what abilities due just by reading the description. And while the art in the game is serviceable, it pales in comparison to other hero collecting/Gacha games. But honestly those few issues do not take away from the core gameplay which is the reason you should play this game. Excellent strategy match-3.

A bit overwhelming at times but fun. This is the only time i would ever complain that a game gives too much free stuff. I am so overwhelmed by the variety of troops I’ve received that i dont even look at half of them. Still five stars cause it’s cool of the devs to do so. Variety of modes is also hard to get through at times but i suppose is helpful if you are bored. I also wish you could access higher levels of difficulties earlier since i find it too easy at times using broken builds with all my legendary troops.

Playing almost 3 yrs. I love this game .I’m now lvl 1030. For all those complaining about money hungry game, that’s a lie! You don’t have to spend real money on anything and still get resources and troops. Join a guild, they help a lot to get resources and money to upgrade troops. There are multiple events to gain resources and other troops. The developers are super helpful and they listen and make changes for upcoming updates. This game is never ending and fun. If you ever get stuck join the forum which you can access from the game. It took me almost a year of playing to fully understand the game but that’s cause I was doing it blindly. Enjoy everyone 😊

Best match game I’ve ever played. I was looking for something to replace my existing match 3 game when I found this, and it far outclasses any of the many other ones I have ever played. It is so much fun & addictive, the cards add another layer of gameplay that is so functional & enjoyable, and I love the RPG type elements of this game. I also love the mini games like treasure hunting. You can actually earn gems & rewards instead of only being able to buy them, which actually makes me more inclined to spend money since it is an actual choice instead of forced to enjoy the game. Lastly there is a great community of players if you ever have questions or need help. 5 out of 5!

Terrific game, a little buggy, but constantly evolving. I’ve never played a game that was a living thing like this one. The developer is always playing with the look and side quests such that the game always feels fresh despite having a basic mechanic to it. I like that it is turn based so I can put it down instantly when I need to chase my kids or address something else in my busy life. I love that the PVP area is all teams designed by various players, but that team is run by the computer so I don’t have to wait on someone to take their turn. I like that I can play completely free- money just makes game easier or faster rather than possible. The game only got four stars from me because it is buggy. I usually have to load it at least twice and there are periodic holes in things. This week I can’t get into the events menu at all.

Best match game period!. I have been playing this game off and on for the last two years. I love that you can sync your game between mobile and PC. They have made a lot of changes recently and there are tons of game modes and guild activities, but players are able to participate at their own pace. If you want to play for free and just do the activities you want, cool. If you want to spend money every month and compete for the leaderboards, that’s cool too. Sure, people that do the later have some better troops and more rewards, but that’s the incentive you play for. This doesn’t keep less competitive players from playing the game or having fun. There is always something new to unlock and new troops to play for, the combinations are endless. Download, play and enjoy. If you find that you love the game I suggest getting involved in an active Guild community and watch Tacet’s videos.

Still love this game!. I’m still a fan of this game but please evaluate the rewards for legendary tasks, raids, arena and treasure gnome. If it stays the same then this game is not going to maintain its dedicated player base. If you just want money then let us buy growth packs monthly rather than 1 time only. There’s so much that can be improved to the mini-games in the game (arena, treasure hunt) like achievements, challenges for higher rewards, etc... Yes, the last update has some bugs with it and some users may experience difficulty with older devices but the update shows how the game will be sustainable for longer gameplay! I invested in a newer iPad and life is so much better- not only for this game but the others I play. My iPhone... not so great but I still love playing the game!

Terrible gatcha system, fun gameplay. I’ve been playing for years and can tell you the gatcha system is horrifically hopeless and feels terrible But I’m not a gatcha game player really so I don’t mind that. I enjoy the gameplay as it’s not just a cashin f2p match3 like other puzzle games on the market - especially the treasure hunt mode which I could do for hours. It suffers from having been around a long time causing Bloat from a billion content adds that mean there’s way too many modes and buffs and menus and junk to sort out and take care of. I mean. I’d really love to have a true puzzlequest game again and not all the f2p garbage but that seems like a thing of the past, so this is the next best thing for me.

Gems of war. Good game but as you get to higher levels, the computer will sometimes get really powerful and you cannot pass a level for quite a while until you do other battles in PVP and elsewhere. My guys will be 4 armor 9 health and the computer will be 25 armor and 23 health. How do you beat that. They will also get 6-8 really good drops in a row and be able to attack me with 2-3 guys and sometimes the same guy mana’s back up and gets to attack me again in the same turn. It’s a bunch of bull at times. I still enjoy the game as I do other battles for a while. The developers need to make the matches a little more fair when you are above level 20.

Sadly, this game is in steep decline. I’ll start by saying that if you’re a newcomer considering this game, don’t bother. If you do, don’t spend any money on it. I’ve been playing this game and enjoying it for years—it’s a fantastic concept—but unfortunately, in the past year the quality and support has dramatically declined. New features are clearly not beta tested, glaring bugs (such as missing artwork for many troops) are reported by players and simply ignored by the developers, and in the game’s forum, reps for the game rarely respond to feedback, and even when they do, it’s a one-time “we’ll look into it” message that never results in a solution. In a recurring event released today, it’s comically obvious the devs didn’t bother to remove placeholder elements in the template. I have spent a significant amount of money on this game over the years, because I do believe devs should be paid for their work, and I got real value from the game. However, that’s changed. I certainly won’t be spending anything going forward unless there’s significant improvement. In fact, things have gotten so bad I wouldn’t be surprised if the game was simply shut down soon, as it seems the company that owns it has lost interest in truly supporting it.

This game is awesome, still a few glitches though. UPDATE: I rated this game horribly after an update some time back but came back to fix my rating because this game is amazing and the developers listen to their audience unlike any game I have ever played. New features and artwork all the time, tons of goals to achieve and it’s nice to work with your guild members to accomplish great things! If you like match 3 games with an RPG trading card twist, download Gems of War, you won’t be disappointed! Previous review: I have played this game for over a year and has become my favorite thing to play, until today when your new UI was updated :( You literally can’t see the screens well and everything feels unfinished. Loads of glitches and things not working the same. Battles are hard to complete now because the graphics are confusing and have become crowded and unappealing. Please revert back to the old UI so I can update my rating to a 5 Star please!

Insulting to my intelligence. Update: devs explain insult as “creative” bug fix. I upgraded rating to 3 stars. Original review: I’ve been playing for years and love the game, but the latest release includes “offers” to purchase simple troops and pets for 1 million gems. For the uninformed, that would require a cash purchase of over $25,000! No explanation as to why the eff anyone would think that’s a good deal. To accumulate 1 million gems without a purchase would be literally impossible to achieve even if you played every day for 8 hours a day and never spent gems for anything as you accumulated them. This review is to alert people considering this game that the developers have lost their minds. There is no other explanation. “Offering to sell their customers a common game resource for $25,000 is the textbook definition of insanity.

Pretty good. I been playing this game for awhile and so far nothing matches it when it comes to a match 3 battle game !!! Has great in depth characters lots of possibilities of great teams to play but it lacks the number one thing to propel this game and its live pvp !! The lack of real player battle diminishes the whole point of all strategies cuz I normally just stick with one because there’s no need to switch without a competitive outlet to battle !! I would love to see other players and thier strategies and battle it out to see who’s team is best like hearthstone. This has lots of potential for a great online live pvp game but lacks it which I don’t understand why it wasn’t implemented a long time ago but overall good game !!

No more upgrades please. Every time they do upgrades it messes everything up. I have been playing this game, believe it or not, for about 2 years. When I first started playing it was about earning trophies and upgrading troops. Now they have so many games and guild activities it’s kind of confusing. They also make it very hard to earn specific items to upgrade your troops. People that have started months ago have better and more troops than I do. Also I must have spent about $100 on this game. I should be a VIP member where I can do anything. But I am only at VIP 4 and Cannot excess the VIP chests. Playing kingdoms at the hardest level should give us the highest talismans not the lowest. And to craft better troops and weapons you have to use 100,000 souls which is impossible to get unless you spend more money. So don’t waste your money on this game because it won’t help you. It is fun to play and I’ve made a lot of friends. Even though they are from different states and countries we have become close and that makes it interesting But all the upgrades and games that they added really slows the game down and causes a lot of problems so I have to keep rebooting the game. They make it more about you spending money to upgrade your troops. If I didn’t become friends with my Guild I would have deleted the game a long time ago.

Does not value your time. I was having a good time with the game. They have a lot of different in-game activities to do, with very little gated by energy or keys or the like. But improving your cards or classes takes a lot of resources, which DOES take some time. Which wouldn’t be an issue, except once you commit the resources, they’re spent. And this morning, I logged in to find they’ve completely overhauled one of my cards that I invested a LOT into, and it’s now ineffective with my lineup. There are hundreds of cards, all with unique special abilities. How are you supposed to build a line up, or even get an understanding of what cards do what, if the cards themselves can just drastically change how they work?

A humane free-to-play puzzle RPG. I’ve been playing this for a few weeks now and it’s pretty fun, it’s like a mash-up of Bejeweled and Magic: the Gathering. A couple years ago I played a similar game (Legendary: Game of Heroes) that would stop you from playing unless you waited for an hours-long timer or spend money to reset it. Gems of War just lets you keep playing, and there’s a bunch of different modes to mix things up. I can’t speak for the guild wars/PvP stuff yet, but you can play the “campaign” mode and a bunch of others without spending any real money and actually enjoy the game and collecting all the doo-dads. It’s the kind of free to play game where you’ll actually want to spend money just to reward the developers for a job well done, and that’s why I described this game as humane. I highly recommend this.

Extremely fun and addicting match-3. This is my favorite match-3 game I’ve ever played. Well done to the creators. The one thing I ask for now is that they create the option to make it available in portrait mode. Also, it has some stability issues in that it tends to crash when opening. UPDATE: so I’m level 405 now, and I’m having an insanely hard time getting arcane traitstones. I get celestial more often, surprisingly. So I would really love it if some balancing fixes happened, as I’m getting extremely tired of farming. I can farm one Explore mode for 2 days straight and not find ONE arcane traitstone. Also, why can’t I connect my progress to the PS4? I would love to play on there, but I’m not about to completely start over. ANOTHER UPDATE: I’m level 730 now, and I STILL have not uncovered a mythic troop. This is extremely discouraging, especially since I’ve spent actual money on this game in the attempt to get mythic troops. I’ve opened countless chests. It’s getting old. I’ve been playing this game for many many months. I’m certainly not spending another dime. The game is still fun, and I especially like the addition of the daily quests, so I’m not changing the rating. But if I make it to 1000 without a mythic troop, I will stop playing. This is just ridiculous.

GoW. I’m going to start out and tell you this game is fun and very addicting to play, which is why I give it 3 out of 5 stars. There only downfall is the TEAM (guild play). It is important to be on a guild to help you through the process of resources in this game. With that being said all resources are done weekly and they reset every week. Now what’s odd with this they have trophies that your guild can accumulate every week and they are pretty useless as your guild gets nothing for these trophies, except your overall rank in guild. I’m ok with this process, but they never reset the trophies like everything else so that teams that have been playing longer than new teams you will never ever catch them. It’s the only thing that measures your guild and you can never know how really good your team can be each week because your trophies never reset. So new guilds can never get excited about their status. Plus in GW’s if your a new guild and really good, you can’t climb the brackets. Your always stuck in the back with guilds who don’t even play or have one member. The sad thing is I’ve been playing a year now and it has been brought up in forums and brought up to the developers of game and they never comment about it, or fix it. It’s like they don’t care.

Great free game!. Looking for a great Free to play puzzle game with some depth, this one is for you! The game is great with a few irritable things like offering high priced content every time you log in and some frustrating encounters. However! The encounters are triumphed with some thought behind your team. Story is passable as light entertainment. No need to buy anything to succeed in this game thus far. PVP is not real time but rather you face enemies constructed teams with your own and is very rewarding. There is no energy limit like other free to play puzzle games, so feel free to stay a while, provided you have a good internet connection. All around great game and I may put some money into it to help it stay going strong. Oh also there are NO ADS! =D

One of the best free to plays. You can play this game nonstop and never run out of things to do. You don’t have to wait for power to refill or any of that stupid crap. They don’t force you to buy anything. Just log in and have fun. Toss them some money if you are enjoying it. I’ve been playing for a year daily and I don’t have enough time to do everything you can do! Also nice that you can pick it up on any device or even on my PC on steam…all the same account. Join a guild to progress a bit faster.

DEV TEAM PLEASE READ THIS. I love your game a lot. It keeps me coming back and I even got my girlfriend to play with me and she loves it. I have but one thing I dislike and I hope you fix it. PLEASE CHANGE THE LOCATION OF THE CLOSE OUT BAR, please. There is dead space to the right and the left of the screen when you play yet you put it at the bottom of the screen. It’s just a quality of life request cause me and my girlfriend find we constantly back out the game because the close out bar is in direct line with the bottom row of gems. Other than that you all have made a great game and should be very pleased in such. Continue the great work everyone!

Gems of War, the match 3 ,ccg, rpg with a multiplayer feel. Imagine a two player match 3 game with a turn based strategy element, where two player face each other taking turns matching gems against each other’s team of cards ,matching skulls to deal damage to the team leader or matching gems of your color to gain enough mana to cast a spell that can do all sorts of different things , boosting skills or damaging one or more of opponents cards or summoning a countless assortment of cards to join in on your side, trust me it’s fun but also the most addictive game ever with one exception and that would be “Castle Crush.

Reoccurring player. Even after multiple device changes, I always come back to this game in some way or another. I have played this game for so long. I love the game dynamics/game play. I love the card descriptions! It’s a wonderful game. I’d recommend this for anyone who wants a D&D-ish color matchemups. There’s plenty of other features too whether social world chat or guilds. There’s something for most in this game (there’s always gonna be some that don’t like the features given). Lots of work in the beginning but nothing too difficult or pay-to-win. You get back as much work you want to put in. Of course there is normal buy in game currency stuff but nothing too crazy outside of that. So for me I’d give it a 10/10. I love this game.

Good game bad AI and the worst tutorial of all time. The game once it starts going is a good match three game. The major failures are an atrocious suggestion engine which frequently suggests the worst possible move typically one that sets up your opponent for a good move, and the worst tutorial I have played. First all tutorials should be able to be turned off or skipped and secondly the “teacher” interrupts game play at very odd moments which ruins the flow. If you have liked Puzzle Quest you will like this game. Overall its shortcomings do not manage to weight it down overly.

Ever-growing, but with some emerging concerns. I’ve been playing on-and-off, across multiple platforms, with several fresh starts included over the course of the last five years. I can still pick up the game and have fun with it for a few hours out of any given week. It’s impressive how much the game has grown and how much more there is to do than there was in the infant years. It is somewhat disconcerting that the nagging for micro transactions has become more persistent, but then, good-with-bad, I doubt there’d be such a steady flow of new content without a decent stream of profit rolling in.

Surprised to be asked. Honestly I’m sure you know it could be better. Lycanthropy basically introduces further distress to an already highly unenjoyable experience of enemy rng... forced to sit there and watch as the gems cascade and ruin you and disrespect your investment ...which is the game’s GREAT flaw. Mortal combat moved the dizzy feature to the end compared to street fighter as a thoughtful adjustment towards interest in making a good game experience. Fatalities became iconic. Collection hype and guild involvement are your pluses. But decisions like adding in “lycanthropy” show off the blatant ignorance unfortunately. Might as well rename the whole game “gems of werewolf” while you’re at it.

Love but updates leave glitches. I don’t mind UI changes, new game modes as long as I can play the game at all. But the last update basically killed the ability to change Delve troops. If I look through the collections tab the delve troops are shown, but when I actually begin the delve attempt and can pick from the available troops, the troops specific to that delve are not fixable. Not to mention that there are several troops whose pictures are still not visible on mobile devices. When these are fixed I will change my rating. Everytime the game is updated something gets messed up. You might want to slow down with getting the updates out until they can be patched without a new glitch please

Hours of fun. I am a match 3 game fan. This game has so many events going on daily that it provides hours of entertainment. How many nights have I missed sleep to play. I have only been playing for about a week. Initially, it was difficult to understand the level up system and gameplay of the multiple opponents and team members. Just play! You will get the hang of it. You do not need to spend money on this game to have fun. The music and story are engaging. I have not yet explored the PVP or joined a guild; however, I plan to soon. Great game.

7.0 update failure. The new update is terrible. The UI is blurred, hard to see, can barely see health bars, mana is confusing especially for a new player, gold trim looks terrible on troops, Mythics look bad, there is no reward to get that light blue border on making a troop mythic. Players are leaving globally as we speak. There are guilds that have open spots all over the place. Players equal profits and good customer service makes people spend. I have been in a chat with over a hundred players who are going to quit until they are heard. The new weekly event is trying to lower gem savings and is a cash grab. Everyone I have talked to will never buy gems. I have spent money where it is needed like on Dragon armor. Cramped up game play makes for a unpleasant experience. I loved this game. Also your player base is adults not 7 year olds. This will fall on deaf ears like treasure hunt did when a admin’s girlfriend/wife liked it as is so there was no change. People have 10s of thousands of treasure maps. Pay attention because attention gets paid. A fix to this update bleed would be allowing players to revert back to the old UI or keep the new one. Another option is giving the players the ability to choose what aspects they want on and off on their UI. The choice should be the players.

Fun game but buggy beyond all belief. I’ve been playing Gems of War for eight months. I’ve spent quite a bit of money on it too, as in over $50, maybe much more. You don’t have to… you can play it free… but there are some perks to spending money. Sadly, reliability is not one of them. The game is crappy on reliability, and I’m close to asking Apple to refund the money since the game WON’T EVEN START. And filing a ticket for support doesn’t help; they take typically several MONTHS to respond to tickets. But I did file one, a while ago, for their latest update blocking the game starting. If you sort reviews by date, you’ll see they’ve had this problem for three days. And the only response is them telling people to contact support. Which, again, won’t help because they won’t reply. They’ll fix this, in a week probably. By which time you’ve lost your daily-rewards for not logging in daily. Lest you think this is a one-time thing, no, they have regular problems where you win a bout but lose the rewards because “Your game is out of sync with the server.” They’ve been working that the whole time I’ve had the game. As of two weeks ago, it was still a problem. Of course, now, it’s less of a problem BECAUSE THE GAME WON’T START.

Fun game, ignorant devs. I’ve waited 9 months to review this game. I am currently vip lvl 11, which means I have spent quite a bit of money on this game. The first thing I would like to mention is the devs do not fix existing issues, they prefer to release new unwanted content for people to chase. Issues with the AI matching 3 and getting extra turns, player matching gems and getting no mana ( with no status effects, no - banner, the match happens you see the animation float over to the troop, but you do not get the mana.) this week was a new release mythic. I spent 600 gem keys, 2300 glory keys, and 1500 guild keys @ the highest tier and got nothing more than an epic. Additionally they will be updating to 4.7, this will in effect eliminate legendary tasks for 95% of players, hundreds if not thousands of players have told the devs they do not want this, we are ignored. Their “compromise” was an additional 40 glory keys. In closing, the devs are ignorant to players wants, they pretend to care using puppets like Salty and Kafka, who tow the company line and try to get people to believe that your leg is wet because it is raining, not because they are peeing on you. New players? Forget it. Save yourself the BS, don’t install this game.

Disappointed. When I started playing this game at the beginning it was my favorite game. Now for the most part it seems that the game is just a money grab. the over complexity of the game is ridiculous. Virgin players can spend money and easily crush me in pvp with characters and weapons that i don't have although i personally have been playing for years. I WORK FOR A LIVING, so if i start to try and play for one of the new PETS the short time level runs out before i have a chance to win it. RIDICULOUS. When there is a new quest I enjoy that but the game quickly becomes mundane and annoying after that is done. Your game is like cigarettes, as distasteful as it has become overall it is addictive enough that I still keep playing as a time killer. dissapointed.

Please add vertical screen support. This is my first review on the Apple Store so here goes, I’m going to keep this short and simple I love the game I’ve been playing on and off for about 3 or 4 years and always have a reason to come back to it great pvp and pve and there’s daily dungeons and dungeon delves also there’s always events happening so like I said always a reason to come back to the game, back to the main topic only issue I have with this game on iOS there is only horizontal screen meaning I have to use two hands to play I hope the devs can find a way to implement a vertical screen feature for better accessibility.

Surprisingly solid. I’ve only been playing for a few days, but I’m impressed. The biggest thing to know is that this is a F2P that doesn’t limit your play with energy/lives/anything. Pick a quest or PvP or whatever and play as many games as you want. There are a handful of “mini games” that require various tokens to access, but at a certain point you get a character that can farm those. If you’re looking for a solid match-3 with collectibles and customization, this is your game.

Connect console and mobile pleeeease!!!. I love the game! It’s a ton of fun and I have really enjoyed playing on PS4 with my wife. If I could make any suggestions, I would say connecting console and mobile account would definitely encourage me to spend money on the game. Unfortunately I’ve made all of my progress on console and don’t see myself playing it there enough to justify the money. Second suggestion would be to edit prices at the shop, pretty much nothing in the shop is really worth the cost and I think pretty much everyone agrees that the shop is desperation land. It’s not cool to make money off of people’s desperation. Other than those two things, I love it so much! Keep up the great work 🙂

Hours and Hours of Candy. Never thought I’d get hooked on a mobile game. I’ve played Match3 before but nothing like this. It’s action/RPG/arcade and and a fiery challenge. Just make sure to raise the difficulty if you’re bored with progress, and do that regardless because PVP is a monster. Loot boxes seem ... generous, but business is business and I don’t see the extent of the wall yet. Just gotta put in time to get some of the better cards and PVP will show you exactly what they can do. The rank listings clearly show where you stand so, like any fight, if you get whooped by the biggest guys, it was your choice to take ‘em on. It all seems fair to me. There are some freezing issues + bugs here and there, but nothing game ending. This program does guzzle battery juice so be careful taking your addiction on the go. I highly recommend this game to anyone looking for something worth the extra taps on a touchscreen.

Lots of fun. I’m a huge Puzzle Quest fan (have all the games on multiple systems) so I was excited to find this game. TBH, I log in at night, do the daily challenges and maybe some quests in the kingdoms, and that’s about it. I have over 100 chest keys I haven’t used because I don’t really care about leveling up or any of that. There are tons of different modes I haven’t even explored and probably won’t unless I run out of quests or whatever. And I haven’t spent a penny. If you’re a casual puzzle fan, give it a try.

Best free to play matching game ever. This is hands down the best free 2 play matching game I’ve ever downloaded. You could play all day everyday if you wanted to no lame recharge mechanic. You can play more content by playing instead of paying. The one caveat is there is a huge RPG element that is a little complicated but if you take time to look up how team building works, not bad. Currency in game is for either getting more troops/loot or upgrading current troops and game is very generous with giving these out. I’m at the point where if I keep playing I’m going to put money into it just as a thank you to developers instead of a forced purchase.

Cross platform compatibility please!. I place this game on my Xbox one, but want to continue playing while I am on the go. I downloaded this game with the hopes of this, but realized I must start over. Please make it possible for cross platform compatibility! I, and I'm sure many other people, would take complete advantage of this. From one programmer to another, I'd suggest having a lock on the accounts that made it possible to only be signed into console or phone at a time. Keep the GUI for the phone and console different and more easily used for separate devices. Have the actions be stored on a server like the Xbox one does, that way they will be up to date when switching devices. Please do this and make an announcement on each device if/when you do so that people may take advantage of this new ability! Thanks, Lonnie G.

Deep, fantastic puzzle-rpg. On the surface this is a match-3 game, but underneath is a deep RPG/strategy game. You collect and level up troops to build teams, then combat is based on match-3 gameplay. It's surprising how deep it is! Highly recommend! Final Update, Feb 2018: I've decided to stop playing with the most recent update but it's still a great game. It tends to be very buggy, I wish they'd never changed the UI, and the recent updates haven't been my cup of tea; however, it's still the best F2P match-3/rpg on the market. It's way more generous than any other game out there, and it doesn't feel like others that are engineered to drain your wallet.

Super addictive and fun.. Great new content since last I played and the gameplay is still as fun as ever. Now there's even more troop types and combinations to experiment with. This game will keep you up into the wee hours. The game is not pushy about buying things and you can have a very enjoyable experience without paying a dime. You can purchase upgrades that help speed up development but they aren't necessary to be competitive at the low and medium levels. Also as a suggestion to the devs: maybe consider allowing a user to stay in the challenges menu after completing a challenge level. It's rather annoying to have to re-enter the menu each time if you're trying to knock out all 35 kingdom challenges in a row.

Addictive. It’s better on PS, but still a good game & time waster

Addictive game, but difficult to progress without purchasing packages.. This is an addictive fun game. I have been playing for a while and it’s almost impossible to get good troops. In order to progress in this game you need to purchase packages and pay to get mythic troops that will help you progress through the levels. Very smart marketing, but I have abstained in handing over my hard earned, so am only an average participator.

Great!. I'm loving this great quality puzzle RPG

Awful, Awful redesign!. Used to be a very fun game. Recent set of redesigns made it cumbersome, ugly and hard to play. Thanks for spoiling a good thing.

Addictive game and keeps you thinking. Great game on all levels with engaging game play that gets you hooked and keeps you wanting more :)

Fun, addictive and thoughtful. If you enjoyed Puzzle Quest or any Match-3’s, this is all of them turned up to eleven. Think the jump from Diablo to Diablo II

Great on so many levels.. A match 3 game with heaps of depth. You can play casually or try to get every troop and build the best or most original teams. Artwork is fantastic, and the story lines brilliantly sassy. But the best part is the devs are hugely supportive of their community. New content all the time, weekly dev streams on Twitch, and quick, friendly responses to any problems, from a very small team. They’ll even help resurrect orphaned accounts.

Constant downloading. I like this game but it’s stupid that you have to download 5Mb every time you open the game and then more little bits near constantly. There doesn’t appear to be any way to just download the entire game and then play it. If this is an anti-piracy measure it’s just annoying

Get more stars for fixing your huge mistakes!. You guys did a huge update recently which has ruined the game if the screen times out, I can even use the bathroom mid match as the screen will time out and all progress is lost, just last night the screen timed out for a split second and I lost my progress in gem wars, not cool guys! Please fix asap as it has made me not want to play the game I love anymore!

Latest update is a letdown. This a great game that's heaps of fun and offers lots of incentives to keep playing... Unfortunately the latest update has the app crashing quite a lot & the performance is just a lot slower. If the arena bugs out at troop select there's just no way to get past it... Not to mention the game just randomly crashing when trying to open a menu. Whilst I'm not a fan of the new team display system, I could deal with that if the game itself still played as reliably as it used to.

Awesome game. If you are looking for a super addictive game with a challenging difficulty, this is the game for you. I read the reviews that said that this game cheats, that is not the case. The computer has a chance to counter attack, so when you do your moves you have to THINK about not giving an advantage to the program because it'll destroy you .addictive as hell tough as nails

So much more than just matching gems!. There are so many parts to this game and more than enough variety to keep me interested. Great fun and a real sense of progression.

Best game ever!. Just started this last week, hit level 80 today :) enjoying this game immensely, it’s quite slow to progress and unlock everything which is amazing and means I have the perfect game that will last me for ages! Thanks!

Good game with some flaws. First off let me say I this game is fun and I recommend anyone that enjoys RPGs, fantasy, and gem matching games to download and play it. However I it has its flaws particularly around match making and user feedback. Long story short, as a level 6 I tried the "invade" option and was matched against someone far higher than me. I didn't check the level of my opponent before blindly continuing on because in every game I've played I have safely assumed the games match making would pit me against someone similar in experience. So I lost 500+ gold in my second hour of playing. So just be careful of invading if you're new. Devs: please make it more obvious to new players that they might be matched against higher level opponents when invading. Since then I have clicked into invade again and I was matched against a level 48 when I am level 8. I see you provide a chance to skip but as someone trying things out I didn't realise I needed to be so careful - an expensive mistake. It's the only thing keeping my rating down.

Constantly crashing.. More than three times every day, whenever I finish a fight, it would get stuck on the loading screen. To keep playing I would have to reset the app. After that, I would lose all of my progress for the fight, and would have to do it again. Very frustrating and time consuming..

Playing game. I’ve been playing this game for at least 5 years. Just downloaded it onto iPad. I love it.

Best Match-3 game on the market!. Played this at PAX, downloaded it the minute I left the stand. Absolutely brilliant. It's easy to get into, you can play a quick game here and there. Tech support team are brilliant when it comes to helping out with a bug Haven't been able to put it down!!

Great game.. I rage quit this game early on, but gave it a second chance. I'm glad I did. It's a solid match 3 title with a good variety of units to customise your team. Some might find the currency frustrating and restrictive, but if you just play a few matches a day there's plenty left to buy iron keys fir more troops. Other reviews are saying the game crashes. I have not experienced a crash yet on my iPad Air.

Well designed tactical match 3 game. This game has been around for years. They keep making new content and improving the game. It can be pretty addictive and you can have a lot of fun without ever shelling out money. Designing teams is also a lot of fun. However, they insert in app purchases in several places. It’s not just one store. And the prices seem ridiculous. They also have several currencies and resources designed to make leveling up impossible. It’s a shame because I’d love to throw them a few bucks. But it’s just not worth it.

Good art. Especially by alister lockhart

Exceptionally Addictive. Have burned hours of otherwise productive time on this game. Great art, addictive gameplay and gameplay elements are at once complex and yet easy to manage. Highly recommend!

Gold system fixed 😄. So much better now that it doesn't cost to do battles that made no sense. The game is fun now I know anything I do I'm moving forward and getting somewhere. If you're a noob to this game it feels like it's hard to save up enough resources to upgrade troops just keep at it and you'll find all of a sudden heaps of your troops can be upgraded and ascended then things really get going. Also one good combo of lvl 5 troops can beat more upgraded enemy's. Guilds are really important make sure you join one

Every new update brings in more crashes. I love the game so much and putting in lots of hours but its seriously annoying when keep crashing when starting a match!!! Please resolve this soon! Its making me afraid to invade players as it keeps crashing 80% of the time now and im just keep getting minus trophies and money! [I know you implement it to take away money and count as lost if leave game as soon as game start so people wont quit if they losing or get bad board from start, but perhaps make the money off as soon as it enters the game screen instead of during loading screen? Because it ALWAYS crashes during loading screen! ] Will give more stars when crashes decreases!

Fun game. I've enjoyed this game heaps. It's a nice wrinkle on match 3 style games. Unfortunately, the latest update has broken the game for me. I can't complain as the game is free.

Great. Awesome

Underrrrrrrrrated !. Addictive and underrated ! Good game - the micro or should I say mega transactions are a bit how you going, other than that great game

Very Addictive Indeed But You Should add one more feature….. Ok I’m gonna go thru a list of things that annoy me and should be added, 1.More Kingdoms 2.More Spell Types 3. I NEED MORE TROOPS! 4.Please Make Mythic Troops a bit easier just A BIT 5.More Gem Types 6. make Souls And Gold a bit Harder to get Kind Regards Sabre (Mini Chaos)

Ruined by freemium. DougQuiad is right. Whilst the concept here is a nice evolution on Puzzle Quest, it's been almost completely ruined by becoming a freemium game. Every battle costs a large amount of coins, coin regeneration is incredibly slow and you just can't shake the feeling that the AI is cheating (ramping up the difficulty as described elsewhere and conveniently getting incredibly favourable gem draws on the board far too often to ascribed to random chance) in order to "encourage" you to spend on coins. I'll keep an eye on it in case the balance is adjusted but in the meantime, the original Puzzle Quest is far more fun.

Good fun game although purchases are way to expensive. Make it cheaper please

Amazing game with unbelievable longevity. Still playing this great game after a serious number of years. New game modes are frequently introduced which keeps the game fresh and engaging. It just keeps getting better.

Fraction of war. Great game but new update with the new fraction of war would remove part of my troops! So I’ll be playing the section of that game with 2-3 troops only! Fix it please

Won't be as good as Puzzle Quest. I say won't be, because while it starts off as a reasonable RPG, it doesn't have the same impact as PQ. The F2P is nice, but the system is lacking. You can't buy troops, you have to painfully trudge through expensive quests (why do games insist on you the player having to pay gold to do a quest?!) and then you are stuck with some pretty cruddy ones. Options to upgrade are nice, but it's a random +1 stat. Invading and defending is fine, though invading is best left until you have decent troops. The game seems to want you to make IAP because the gameplay is so slow to get anywhere. The online component makes my game run slow as I have to constantly wait for connections to the servers and I don't want to have this slow me down too.

Not happy please fix!. This is a great game, however since the latest update I am constantly getting connection error messages and script error messages. I just tried to open a gem chest when I get a script error message. I logged back on and the key is gone and I don't have my reward! Definitely not happy with the constant error messages as its frustrating and I don't want to play anymore. Please fix!

Completely addictive!. I have been playing this game for many months, and it is still varied and interesting enough to keep me entertained every day. Highly recommend!

Fantastic Game. This is my favourite mobile game. It’s very addictive and fun to see you kingdoms progress. The match 3 is super fun too. Highly recommend.

No problems yet 👈🏻👆🏻👉🏻. I love the the game and all but I am worried might happen to my account like the first guy who did a review and buddy if you’re listening I feel your your pain

Tried at PAX. Great premise; I'm enjoying it a lot. However, I feel there is explanation lacking in how to get more coins when you're low (if the explanation was in the tutorial, I've missed it completely). Do you just wait for it to refill? I can't battle anything while I'm stuck at 49 coins, haha... Also, that dragon boss in the first quest is OP as hell. Not sure how long it's going to take to defeat it D;

Excessively pay to win. Unless you're willing to pay, you're never going to reach the same playing field as the payers who do pay. It's not just a couple of dollars you're required to pay either, but rather $40-80 a pop... And no just once either. The game does provide you in-game resources required to advance, but it is at a ridiculously slow pace as to make it almost impossible to advance without forking over the cash. The developers should be ashamed of the,selves for their incredible greed. Avoid this game - avoid.

Poor support. The game itself is brilliant but randomly it deleted my account. When trying to reset the links they send are all broken and when logging support they say min 12 business days wait time. All I can say is if they can’t maintain the game basics for customer support maybe consider holding back on spending even a small amount of money on the game...

Awesome. Brilliant game

Genuinely Fun Game. Whether playing casually or going hardcore, this game is an excellent mix of gem matching and card battles. The troops are interesting and unique and fun to make strategies with

Crashes. My game keeps crashing whenever I finish a battle, which is frustrating when doing delves. Otherwise this is an excellent game and a lot of fun, you don’t really need to spend money unless you want to and they bring out constant content.

I love it but this happened.... I always played this game with my dad I was in level 62 with 5 mythic and my favourite chimera about to be upgraded into mythic. Then one day it just...Deleted! I wish I could log in to my old account but you can't do that 😖😭please add a log in place 🤩 and I know there is a link but that is for if you have another device you want it on two devices. But please make it work even if the app was deleted! So we can log in again! That would make me and my Dad’s day 🤩 Thank you, Coco 🦄🤩

Love the game. Only wish it had a optional choice while questing.. Old puzzle quest was fantastic. Wish this game had a better story line where I felt like I was making the story.

Goldenfox. Awesome game. Match gems to defeat your opponents.

Thankyou. This was really good

Narmolson. Awesome!

Super fun tactical game! (Dec 2017). Ignore the bad ratings, most of them are from 2 or 3 years ago. This game offers so much in the way of strategy and deck building, it kind of blends Hearthstone/Magic: The Gathering with the match-3 system of Puzzle Quest, and recently has emphasised player versus player which is tons of fun. Its freemium model is VERY low-pressure; I've never put a single dime into the game and I'm playing in the top tier! I strongly advise joining a guild though, as Guild bonuses are insanely good.

Great game with longevity. It's rare to come across a free-to-play game that doesn't constantly shove its IAPs into your face, doesn't turn into a grind or doesn't hamper your progress with timers, lives and other means of enticing you to spend money. Gems of War was made by the creators of Puzzle Quest and is a Match-3 game in a similar vein. You can follow different single-player questlines or engage in ranked PvP battles, play a stack of mini games and otherwise spend a lot of time with this game. Even without spending a cent, the game constantly gives you success moments and a real sense of progression. I've been playing for several weeks now and am still enjoying it, without having spent a cent or feeling the need to. If you're into Match 3 games, this is a no-brainer.

No real time PVP. Don't be fooled, the PVP feature mentioned in description actually works like u play with a dummy enemy who has the same deck as ur opponent but controlled by AI.

Amazing. This game blows me away, the graphics are out of this world. This game is the most fun game I’ve played in my existence and I will continue to play it until my deathbed. 😍😍😍🤪🤪🤪👣👣🧚🏿‍♀️ this game is worth the money....SIKE it’s free which is a better deal overall.🧶

I can’t believe this game is free.. No stamina or energy allows you to play as much as you want. Over 600 troops/weapons to collect and use, join a casual guild and play when you can, or put in hours or gameplay a week and join a top guild. Weekly events, many daily smaller events. My girlfriend and I both play and enjoy the game together.

Fantastic !!!. This is the absolute best match 3 game I’ve ever played. You can play for hours without worrying about running out of energy or lives. There’s so much to do within the world and everything is super customizable. I’ve gotten my whole family to play as well. We are loving it. Thank you for such an amazing quality game that’s free to play! 👍🏼💀👍🏼💀👍🏼💀

Addictive game. I love this game it’s one of my favorite games on here and the ps4

Love it but cant cross platform. I would love to use my ps4 account as I love the game and would give it 5 stars otherwise!

A bit aggressive on the in app purchase. But a very enjoyable game, nicely done. (Played only a few hours, we’ll see if the game is forcing a pay to win scheme eventually)

Great game. The hour just slip away

Terrible since last update. I’ve played this game for a long time and enjoyed it. It’s just frustrating now since the last update. The odds are ridiculously against you now, in all game modes. For example, my best win streak in PVP mode is over 60. I have a hard time winning two in a row now. The gems fall against you and totally in favour of the AI. Until recently, frustrating would never have been how I’d describe this game. I don’t want to even play it anymore. If you enjoy a game that leaves you P.O.’ed, give it a go.

Bon jeux. Parfait pour tuer du temps ici et la!

Best Free Game in the App Store. Free. No need to pay to play, and not filled with ads out the Ying Yang. Some of the in- game transactions are reasonably priced, and most of all... the game has literally enough content to keep you playing for rewards daily and still not run out.

Lier les compte. Très bon jeux j’adore c’est même mieux sur mon iPhone que sur ma ps4 💯

Love It <3. I had played it on my phone years ago but I couldn’t find my account back. The game is beginner friendly gems are way less overpriced than other games on the AppStore A bejeweled theme game with an mmo aspect and luck drives you’re games a bit sometimes! Love the concept tons of upgrades too updates and events ! Would suggest it to anyone getting into a mobile game and is not willing to put a dime at start!

Great game. Amazing game have been playing for years on console

Can no longer recommend. I would not advise anyone to take up this game now although I have had several enjoyable years playing it. With every update it becomes more of a grind and nearly impossible for new players. Sadly my star ratings have gone from a high of 5 to now a lowly 2

Great game. I really like this game great job

Love the game. Played awhile on console

老是要我评分. 我不想评 一直让我评 那我就来评

dumb. Its a good concept and really cool but the board gets dropped for the A.I 70% of the time and will wipe your team in 5 seconds and leave you wondering what you did wrong.

Amazing. This is just amazing for a free game

Garbage app. Worst match 3 game to date. Doesn’t matter the level of hero’s you have, you’re guaranteed to lose EVERY FU*KING TIME. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS GAME! IT’S A WASTE TO TIME AND CLOUD SPACE!

Amazing!. An amazing game, I can’t stop playing it.

Was great, but..... This game used to be incredible. Unlike most F2P match-3s, there's no energy bar, no fee just to play. You can play whenever you want, as long as you want, without worrying about running out of lives. However, I'm not sure why you'd want to, any more. The latest update has sucked the fun right out of the gameplay, by adding an AI that forces the player to rely far more on luck than on strategy, when it used to be the other way around. It's also become much more pay-to-win, but that's not nearly as irritating as the gameplay, which has been utterly destroyed. They took a fun little game and turned it into a miserable slog. Edited to add that this game has continued to go downhill, becoming more and more needlessly complicated, and less and less fun to play. I’ve finally deleted it after years of play, and won’t be coming back.

Long Time Addict. I play this on my PS4 constantly, and now on my phone. Want a competitive gameplay or a casual game experience? It doesn’t matter! There is a pace and place for everyone. This is the Gems game done right!

Can’t link with PS4. I would have given it five stars if I could have linked my PlayStation

Entertaining. Great game really kills time

7.0 Update has a terrible UI. The troop cards are so hard to read now. Terrible UI redesign using colors for no reason and making the font smaller. It’s so hard to read stats when playing on mobile now.

Portrait mode please!!. Gems of war is an amazing game with a lot of content and and an active community, but I speak for most of us and say we want a portrait mode. Please consider it 🙏

What a game!. Love, love, love this game. Especially the no time limit. Relaxing and exciting at the same time. Well done developers!

Highly recommended must play game. This game is great for a free to play game, constantly taking my #1 go to game slot for when i am looking for something to play, just wish it had an offline portion for when their is either no power or no wifi signal to be found other than that, highly recommended as it has life skills of color matching, strategy to make you think a step ahead of your opponent and and problem solving skills great game for kids, teens and even adults

Wonderful. Love this game

It passed its golden age. I am a level 1066 player in Gems of war. So I put in my hours. While this game provided lots of entertainment in the past and some aspects of it are still fun and playable. I can say confidently that it has passed its golden age and many parts of the game are no longer playable/enjoyable. The high synergy between many cards at this stage render opponent teams is too powerful to counter. There are many card combinations at the moment that will beat you in one or two turns with little or no window for your to respond - regardless of the strength of your own team. Therefore taking away all the fun that made this game great. Some serious card nerfing needs to take place because the game in now broken.

Good. Love it . But the 🦑 is a bit too good when lvl 20 😀😀

Enjoyed the game until the last update. Am a recent user and was just getting into and enjoying the game until the last update and now I can’t use it. Keep getting unable to connect to server. Restart game.

Love the game itself but. Wish it wasn’t so weeby. Literally every woman in it, enemy or ally, it cringey af.

Crashing all the time. Keeps crashing all the time no matter what device I play on (2 different iPhone and 2 different iPad) for a game that’s been out for years it’s totally inexcusable. If devs can’t be bothered to fix their game than I can’t recommend it. It’s a shame cause it’s a great game when it’s working.

Fun for hours!. Has a great combat system well thought out cards and is just straight up fun! I recommend this game to any puzzle solvers who like the rpg infusion!

Cool. It’s fun, but I need it to connect to other devices like Xbox or d.s.

Glitch!!!!!!. App has been down for 3 days now like seriously?

Hard to keep going. Extremely fun but get stuck behind a pay wall further in becomes extremely hard to keep fighting not impossible but hard

Terrible Update. I hate the new Trials system! Challenge was fun cause I could use my favourite team and earn excellent rewards - with Trials I’m now forced to use new unleveled random teams and the rewards are garbage and not worth the expense. What an awful decision the devs have made - it’s basically ruined one of my favourite apps

Fraud!. Just got charged $45 for a 27$ gem pile. Refund that immediately!

Good game. Really liking so far maybe a bit too pay to win but so far I like it and maybe will play it more on my down times…

Amazing but.... Gems of war is my absolute favourite game on mobile…. Sorry, WAS my absolute favourite game. I’ve dumped so much money into this name without question and had no problem doing such. However…. The last couple of updates really ruined the game for me. One, if you’re playing on iPhone get ready for the game crashing after certain critical battles. There is a way around this, but not within the game program. The devs simply won’t or can’t fix it. Second, with the addition of lycanthropy the game has become stupidly unbalanced. This new gameplay feature has ruined the game in my opinion. I am a high level level experienced player. But lycanthropy has ruined the game. Almost reason enough to hang it up. I don’t see them removing or nerfing this in favour of the player also so it’s pretty much game over for me. Too bad, this game was amazing. Not so much anymore.

Awesome game. Awesome game I have this on ps5 I play it all the time

Can’t Play Now. I am running into a bug where my App Store doesn’t recognize there is a new update and my game will not open until I have the update downloaded. Please address this, I love the game and am a relatively high level and now I can’t play

Events?. Lovely game, microtransactions are pretty tame and I got by fine through f2p. I don’t care for pvp though, so can’t comment on that side. While I appreciate the new zones I wish there were different events rather than the same modes cycled over and over again

Plante de temps en temps à l’ouverture de l’application. Bonjour je suis sous ios 12.1 sur mon ipad pro et lorsque j’ouvre le jeu souvent elle se referme aussitôt je dois la lancer une deuxième fois et sa fait la meme chose sur mon iPhone xr ios 12

我反正肝了3000多小时了. 现在1200级，全王国10级能量等级，我安利了很多朋友，可惜很多人不喜欢三消类型的。如果你喜欢肝，喜欢休闲，那这个游戏 绝对适合你肝。

Game lyes to you before you even start playing. So I go to start playing the game and it’s like “ hey you need to download this 50 mb patch” I’m at work with no wifi so I say “no please don’t do that” so it starts downloading it anyways though I specifically did not hit the ok button. So not a good sign of the first thing it does is metaphorical flip you off to start spending your money!

Great game. Gre

Addictive. I wish I didn’t have a job and I didn’t have to go to work and I could just play Gems of War all day long every day for the rest of my life . it’s such a fun game ! My wife even loves that she loves to talk about it and hear about it and she loves to eat donuts while she’s playing it and smear frosting all over the iPad. Don’t eat refried beans while you’re playing this game it’ll make you accidentally hit the wrong colors.

A mixture of Fantasy and pop culture at it's peak!. This game is AWESOME! Wether it be the memorable characters, challenging battles, or various kingdoms, the world of Krystara is a must for adventuring. I personally like all the characters and how their designs match the kingdom they come from. What I'm asking for is a system where you can interact with your characters, give them gifts, and learn more about their lives! Keep up the good work, 505 Games!

New card style. Give back our old style cards, can’t see if card is fully traited, plus mana colors not easy to see, plus bronze medal troops does not show, plus to many things going on a card that has been hit by another troop almost impossible to see how much armorand health left. Its totally a crappy design

Pay to win. This one is a bit better than most of the pay to win games, but you do get to a point after a while where you’re running into harder fights that you just can’t win because enemies can one-shot all your units and have five times your HP. Once you get there, spending tons of money on gems is your only way to advance, because you need so many ultra-rare troops to compete. Get your week of fun until you hit the pay wall and then just delete. Don’t spend hundreds of dollars just for a chance to maybe get a rare monster.

Best free game in the App Store. New review Feb 22, 2018: Best free game in the App Store since the bug fixes rolled out. Original review follows: Since the recent UI overhaul, the game is very buggy. It's been a month with no fix yet. Blank cards load all the time and screens fail to load. Most of the game is still playable sans card pictures, but soul forge is impossible because you can't see what you're crafting or what your spending, and the dungeons to get crafting materials crash on every match.

I will never give a better review until. It is a great game and i actually like it a lot. However you will never get a better rating from me until the game works 100 percent like it is suppose too. On multiple occasions I have acquired extra turns and the AI doesn’t honor that it just does its turn which can great change the game. But when the AI gets an extra turn I always am forced to honor that. So until that’s 100 percent fixed and never happens you will never get a better review from me. And it especially annoying since I do invest money into the game.

Gameplay is fun, load times are ridiculous. Gameplay is fun. Pretty standard match 3 with a bit of a twist. Doesn’t make up for the utterly atrocious load times. Start a fight? Spend 2 minutes loading. Win a fight? Spend 1 minute loading. Level up? 3 minutes loading. Change a team member? 4 minutes. God forbid there’s some dialogue. You’ll be sitting there for like 5 minutes. It seems like a good game but for every minute of gameplay there’s 10 minutes of loading. That’s just not OK. This is all on an iPhone X. Can’t imagine trying to play on something older.

First Review. This is a fun game but I agree with a few other honest reviews I read. The AI doesn’t have to honor the rules of the game. I’ve experienced the AI receiving extra turns without always matching 4. There are a few other AI issues that you will notice. For example, the rate of the skull drops that the AI receives. How quickly the AI is able to cascade their attacks, etc. opposed to you as the player. Also the game in many instances makes the AI unbeatable. This is a decent game to kill time but as others have said is definitely a money grab game. I normally don’t write reviews, but I felt the need to.

Great updates, but..... I've been playing gems for a couple years across a few platforms and it is by far my favorite game and the only one I keep coming back to. It's easy to keep playing with how often the dev team releases new content that keeps the game interesting. That being said, recently there is so much that the download time every time you start the game is getting overly long.

Used to be fun.... First of all, I love the mechanics of this game. It was my favorite game for a while, but the recent update has made it pretty much unplayable for me. I was progressing well before, but now I'm at a complete standstill, unable to beat any new levels because the enemy teams are so ridiculously strong. The AI balance has become atrocious. Enemies are super-strong, they get massive boosts, they get cascades of skulls & extra turns... It's just unbeatable, & I can't even upgrade my troops because I can't win any new levels to gain souls. I'm about ready to give up on GoW if they don't rebalance the AI to how it was before.

Been playing for months and still not bored. This games has lots of different challenges that creates a purpose to the gem matching. I’m sure I’d advance faster if I made in app purchases but haven’t felt pressured to do so. I am happy to make a few purchases to support the development of the game but hate when you are basically blocked unless you purchase something. Great games!

Amazing Game. I don’t normally go out of my way to write a review, but this game genuinely earned one. Amazing art and visuals, tons of fun things to do and the best part of all, there’s no sitting around waiting to earn energy to play. You can play all you want, and with the current state of the world, where sitting home is a must on most occasions, it’s an absolutely stunning way to occupy your down time.

Still Finding It’s Feet. It’s a really good game and addictive, but it often gets caught between creating a great user experience and milking users for all that they can. You can totally play the game for free, however, so it’s not that damning. They are constantly experimenting with game modes, some of which are great and some of which should probably get axed, but it at least keeps the game interesting. Still lots of glitches and loading issues, but I truly enjoy playing with my friends in our guild.

Great game to pass the time. This gam allows a player at any level to have a relaxing and fun game experience. There is little pressure to buy anything, but there are several very good values in the store. This is one of he best games that lets you play at your own pace and doesn’t keep make you buy things to get beyond the basic level. One caveat, I have purchased the things in the store, but it’s not a requirement to get ahead.

THIS IS THE GAME TO PLAY. If you’ve exhausted yourself playing other games that were more focused on creating a ways to drain your wallet than creating ways to make a game fun, then you will be delighted with Gems of War. All the fun without breaking the bank. This is what gaming should be about. True creativity, building guild friendships, learning new strategies, unique skills instead of the copy, paste, repeat of other games...they have won me over. Come on over, bring a friend...better yet, do what I did...bring your guild! ❤️

New patch released. I would give this 5 stars but ever since the new patch with the pets it gets stuck on the loading screen. We have to always close it down totally and reload. Not fun if we have to do that every time. It gets stuck when we try to do anything different other than play the kingdom quests. It gets stuck on those as well.

Great, would recommend. I personally love the game as it is a simple and unique match 3 game the graphics are great and the devs add new mechanics relatively often but there is one problem I’ve had the button that’s supposed to allow you to link accounts for some reason doesn’t actually work it always says that the account doesn’t exist but otherwise It’s on of my personal favorite games.

Playing for a couple years now. I’m glad you’ve added features tho I don’t really go beyond the basic. But it is good!! Love the play action and effects. I only wish that treasure hunt was based on the individual player, not the team they are connected to. Guild are great and I found one that works for me and got booted because of my name. Please help me Change my name to something other than the default....

Not your average match 3 game!. This game has a side story running at all times. You pick your main weapon and have three troops to accompany you into battle. While you still play the match three format, there are side battles going on where your game choices fortify your troops and load their weapons. Great game of strategy in choosing the most effective team into battle, based on the enemy force you are facing. Two thumbs up for this guy!

The puzzle quest I always dreamed of. I first picked this game up when it first launched. The original puzzle quests were some of my favorite. There wasn’t that much content. After a few years I checked it out again and there is so much diversity in gameplay , great F2P friendly progression, lots of quality of life upgrades. I’m in love ! 🥳

Best Game On Any Platform. In my opinion, which may not be much, this is the best game on any platform ever. It’s so much fun. It combines gem matching with an adventure and army building game so perfectly, it will never be surpassed. Please don’t change the game too much from what it is now. You’ve created something great. The developers that made this game should be given whatever award there is out there for awesome achievement. Great job!

One of the good ones. I play this game both on my switch and on my phone and while there are certainly micro transactions and opportunities to pay to get ahead I have not had any trouble playing and enjoying the game without feeling pressured to pay more than I think is reasonable for the hours I’ve spent.

Love it. I started playing it on the switch a long time ago. I seem to always come back and get addicted again. There is a lot to learn and the deeper the go, the more you appreciate it. The only negative thing is that you hit a wall fairly early on where you almost need to pay money to keep going. They should give more free rewards to keep you into it.

my favorite phone game, and it’s FREE. I’ve had so much fun playing this game every day for years. Excellent combination of gem matching and card battles. Developers are amazing at putting out new material almost weekly. PvP battles are matched against players of similar level so it’s never too late to join. You do Not need to spend a single penny to have tons of fun. Real money is only needed if you’re impatient, or if you want to support the developers. Highly Recommend!

This Game Cheats.... This game cheats and I mean SERIOUSLY cheats. It was fun for the first 8 battles against the CPU but then I started to notice the CPU getting MULTIPLE second and third turns in a row. Then I was realizing that not only was the CPU getting the multiple turns but it was getting the perfect colors to fall into play and multiple skulls so that it could keep attacking but everyone it was my turn, I had to work for what I wanted just to see the CPU take it and use it to get more multiple turns and so on......I’ll be moving in from this game. It cheats and doesn’t even do anything to hide it. It’s literally in your face cheating and the game just looked at you like “ha...did you see me cheat just now?!”

Good but needs work. I love the game but they need to fix some major glitches. Like I do a four or five connect & it’s their turn. They get four & five connects it still their turn. I’ve lost a lot of matches & missed out on a lot of gold & souls do to it. Some of the other examples are they reset board for them and wow 4, 5 & skulls connects reset for me a 3 connect but it “random”. With all that I still love the game.

Best Strategy / RPG / Match Game Ever. This is my all-time favorite so far. There’s a well constructed path for those just starting out, and a TON of content and stuff to do for a long, long time. There’s not much for story, but it’s got everything else in spades. I love strategy, grinding, rng (somewhat), and collecting stuff, without getting boring or stuffy thanks to the match gems get mana cast stuff battle system. Wish I could find other apps / games this well developed

Defrauded an Arachnean Weaver. 505 was purposefully vague last week with the new mythic release. I spent nearly $200 worth of gems/keys chasing a mythic that the entire community thought should be there. Developers had no sympathy and blamed us for not knowing better. Gems is a very enjoyable game and up until now I have been happy spending money on it. Until they resolve this dupe on their community there will not be another dime spent. Please boycott spending until they make amends with community on thousands of wasted gems/keys and dups. I will remove this comment and write a more typical review once resolved. Thank you.

Challenging and Fun. I’ve enjoyed the game. You can adjust the difficulty, which makes the game more challenging and fun. It’s still a Match-3 game, but I feel I have to think more about what I’m doing, since my enemy is using the same board. The one weakness is in the AI. It always finds 4 and 5 square matches, but it is TERRIBLE at recognizing possible skull matches or anticipating when one of its moves is going to result in an opponents match...even when it’s game-ending. The guild system is stupid, as there is very little benefit and virtually no social interaction. The prices on possible purchases are ridiculous, so I’ve never bought anything and won’t. Lots and lots of things to do. Challenges, treasure hunts (one of my favorites) and the ability to field many different teams over time means it hasn’t become repetitive and boring. Give it a try!

Fun game!. It’s nice to get a chance to play a game that doesn’t cost you an arm and a leg to get anywhere... while this game does offer purchases, you can actually advance without buying much of anything, which is a welcome change in the mobile gaming world. It’s nice that it’s not a “run out of energy, so either buy more or play tomorrow” type game as well. Be careful, if you’re like me you could end up playing for hours and not even realizing it! It’s fun, challenging, and free. What could be better?

PHATGROWER and my thoughts about G.O.W.. It’s a great game, I would like to see actual player vs. player,but if not then developers should add a new feature where you battle with the same 4 troops over and over and destroy as many enemy troops and your 4 troops continue on with same health and power ups and enemy damage and spells that have been cast on them until you have no troops left and be rewarded by amount of enemy troops destroyed,now that would be a awesome feature,much better than treasure hunt,not knocking treasure hunt,but a rally feature is definitely needed.0

Quality Entertainment. Gems of War has impressed me. Ordinarily I can’t find a game that has both well developed content and allows me to access that content at my own pace. GOW excels at this, enabling players of all skill levels to advance and enjoy the game. The Developers are quick to respond to any issues you may have and the community is friendly. A quality game for hours of enjoyment.

Great Game. This the most detailed match 3 game in the store.. Lots of things to do and level up. Great campaign mode. Events are somewhat fun, my only issue is that’s it’s so obviously a fixed game. The developers have made it blatantly obvious that the gems don’t just fall randomly.. it’s really sus when the gems fall just right for MULTIPLE turns we’re computer keeps getting extra turns.. And sometimes when you use your skill, 80% of the time it organizes the gems in favor of the computer or your opponent. So you are almost always penalized when you use your battle skills..

Too many bugs in the program. This is a very complicated game to play. Takes time to get used to layout. Game requires extreme amount of bandwidth to load. Game crashes when loading. Developer updates cause new bugs with gameplay. Too difficult to even report a bug or problem. You have to go through process of setting up an account to report a bug, and even after that it won’t let you login with that user name and password. Image that, a bug report for submitting a bug report. Update 2022, new update does not load on ipads.

LOVE this game!!. I found this game on my switch months ago. And just recently, I found it on the PC. I have absolutely become addicted!! There’s never a dull moment in this game. From the main storyline, to challenges, to treasure hunts...the list goes on and on! It takes a bit of time to understand everything but it is SO worth it!! Gems of War is the best!

Keep coming back. I started playing this years ago. Walked away from it a couple times, over the years. Recently came back to it because a d it up on their own and got me back in to it. Here I am again, exploring the world, stumbling into every situation imaginable, and besting all sorts of evil. Having a good time.

Best management game ever. I love the game because I love managing troops and match 3 games. This game is never misleading and you can watch ads and are rewarded for it with important resources. If you nail down a good strategy, you won’t have to be pay anything directly. For this reason, I would actually pay for this game.

I did like this game. I have played this game since 2014. On the ps4, Nintendo Switch, kindle, and my phone. My wife and kids play in and then suddenly today I sign in and they say I have been banned for hacking. They don’t give an option to fix it or contest it or contact them in anyway. It’s a bummer, I’ve been playing this game for years and now suddenly can’t anymore.

Gems of War. Amazingly fun and addictive game. Love the fact that it is free to play and you can still be a viable player at the free level, but there is also the option to invest in the game to progress faster. Devs are always working on things to keep the game fun and fresh. And very much appreciated is the fact that when there IS a problem (which happens in any game, but seems rare here,) they are ON it.... no waiting and wondering if and when someone will take notice. Highly recommended enjoyable game.

New upgrade makes it unplayable for me. I’ve been playing Gems of Wars for years, and I really enjoy it; however, today, I awoke to the new upgrade that changed the card displays in combat. As an Old, the numbers are too small and too close to the card colors to be readable for me. I played the Daily Adventures and was rewarded with an intense headache from eye strain. I’m afraid if they don’t change it back, this will be the end of the line for me. At least give us Olds an option to see the numbers better, please.

Great game but crashes a ton for me. This would be my favorite iOS game I’ve ever played but unfortunately it crashes so much that it’s pretty much unplayable for me now. I’ve lost out on tons of loot, time, playing resources because the game just locks up and then crashes. I’ve tried all the troubleshooting steps from the help center and reached out to their support team twice. It’s been well over a week a still no responses from them. It’s disappointing because I’ve spent actual money on the game to support the devs but can’t get any support back. If this gets resolved then 5 stars for me.

Ridiculously addictive. Beware! (Seriously). Amazingly fun. I played for more than a year and actually threw some money into the game every once in a while ( both things something I never do with iOS games). IMO best deep match 3 out there. I had to tear myself away from game and drop it completely due to playing too much...was causing probs in real world.

Fun. I quit this game because real life did not allow enough time to complete guild obligations. However, one complaint is that there needs to be some variety in guild events. They are too similar. Also, please revamp treasure hunt. All in all, super fun and there is tons of stuff to do. Many old-school D&D references. Edit: In regards to the recent updates, please bring back the previous card design and stop with the requests to log into Game Center.

Good game. You can keep fighting as long as you want. You gain coins each day but what you need is souls to upgrade your troops. So you have to fight hundreds of battles to get souls. What does manana surge mean? You get an extra turn when you match up 4 or more and get more coins at that time too. How do you get more souls than 5? Enjoying the game otherwise.

New monsters. I don’t like the new monsters dropping on my team. It misses up my team which I put together. It takes the fun away from our strategy especially when the monsters change the team diameic. Especially in Delves, I work hard to get to the harder levels and then the monsters change my team and can’t win and have to start over, which is not fair.

I’m a casual gamer and I love this game.. I think this is a great game for a casual or avid gamer. There a lot of different games and events which keeps the game interesting. One thing that I really appreciate is that if there are ever any issues (which it is pretty rare to have an issue) the developers catch it quickly and if you were affected by issue you receive a message and typically a gift.

Honest review. The concept of this game is great. However the execution is horrible. Like MANY other reviewers, I too have been victimized by the CPU cheating. It does NOT play by the same rules that the player is forced to play by. The reasons for this are obvious ($$$). I would have gladly supported this game if it was playing fairly. But until the developers decide to be fair... I have no intention of waisting any more time on this “game” (if it can indeed be considered as such). Also... please take note of the generic “stock reviews” giving this a 5 of 5 (being extremely similar to the generic stock “we are sorry” responses from the developers). For shame... 😒

True Successor to the Puzzle Quest Throne. If you’re a fan of the first two Puzzle Quest games and can’t stand seeing the trainwreck that series has become, this is the best place to be. While it goes overboard with the micro-transactions and pop-ups, the core mechanic is just as polished and satisfying as I had hoped. Having a team of interchangeable troops with interesting and wildly different skills makes every game feel fresh. I’ve had a fun time with it on my phone and am downloading on my iPad to play here too.

Terrible Phone Version. The console version is relaxing and great to play. The phone version is terrible. Just about everything has a “20%” dodge ability, which they do way more than 20%. I actually had battles where they avoided skull damage over 3 times in a row. Also, everything resists skull damage by at least 25%. Seriously people? Going to stick with the console and not going to recommend this game to anyone nor am I going to spend money on it. You’ll be wasting your money if you do because the game will always find a way to beat you no matter what team you put together

This game is so fun. It’s not popular. At least I don’t think it is but this is definitely like candy crush but for a teen like me. It’s so fun. The only problem I have with this game is that it gives too many free things in the beginning. You should work for it and not have it given to you. On PlayStation it’s very hard and I like that. On mobile it’s too easy.
