NCsoft definitely put all of their effort into making Gem Keeper. Definitely a fair price for 30 different levels and the design of the app. Value: At the time of this writing, the application sells for $2.99 in the App Store. Beautiful environments and animations makes the game pleasant to look at. Graphics: Compared to other iOS apps, the graphics are pretty high up there. I honestly don’t know what kind of genre the music would fall under, but I hear some techno in it, making it a perfect audio track to listen to during a tower defense match. I’m not sure if the iPod Touch or iPad has this same feature.Īudio: Overall, the music fits nicely. The iPhone app version vibrates the device every time a crystal is permanently lost during the stage, but their is an option to turn that off in the settings menu. So far the only controls are tapping/clicking or sliding (for rail lines or setting up towers). Gem Keeper changed it up a bit and allowed me to create different strategies to win.Ĭoncept: NCsoft, the developers of Gem Keeper, took the tower defense genre and added their own twist to it.Ĭontrols: Very easy to control. The reason why I mention this is because most tower defense games are simple: setup some random towers and wait. At the spiral I setup a couple of Slow’n’Steady towers to fire bombs at groups of enemies. Using my new Boomer tower, I set it up at the end of the straight paths to fire cannons in a straight line, taking out more than a few enemies at once. For an example, one of the maps had a couple of straight paths and a spiral leading to the object. The maps give you excellent opportunities to setup certain strategies. Upon finishing the tutorial I went to the Forest area to finish a few stages, which all introduced me to new towers. In just the tutorial I noticed a few things: excellent graphics, easy to play, and features that make this application stand out from the rest of the tower defense games. Don’t let the tutorial trick you: everything it teaches you seems like the typical tower defense game, but later on you’ll find out that Gem Keeper is more than that. After installing Gem Keeper, I immediately loaded the app and opened Adventure Mode, leading me to the Tutorial area. Gem Keeper from NCsoft adds a twist to Tower Defense games on the iPhone and iPad.
