Designed for both the iPhone and iPad, Gem Keeper has the potential to provide hours of fun.IOS Gaming News, Discussion and Recommendations. 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.
