Gems Of War: Match 3 Strategy Customer Service

I have been playing this game since its infancy and can honestly say it is a free to play game. The devs do an excellent job of giving free rewards while mixing in pay to play options. There will always be people out there complaining about pay options, but without them, this game or any game for that matter would not exist. The devs also do a great job of coming up with new and creative game modes. I admit, it can be confusing in the beginning, but there is going to be some sort of learning curve with any game you start. Of course there are glitches when new patches are uploaded but again, the devs do a great job of fixing these and compensating players for missed rewards. If you are a new player, know that they have made the grind much easier than it was when I started playing. Guilds and the community as a whole is very accepting and helpful. All in all, I really enjoy this game and would give it six stars if that were an option.

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.

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.

I just downloaded this game today and have been playing it for a while today and at first loved it and gave it 5 stars. But then I tried to change my weapon and it won’t change it and it isn’t a level issue. I went looking for help and there is none. What kind of an RPG doesn’t have some kind of quide with it to help you do basic things? I’m bitterly disappointed as I’ve been looking for a game like this for a while. I love RPG and have played many on console. (I’m using an Ipad) Then I went to put in a ticket for help and they flat out say they will not help. I was planning on investing some money in this game, but I won’t put a dime in a game that doesn’t provide a guide and refuses to help. Update: I was pleasantly surprised to get a response from the developers on my review. I wasn’t expecting one since when you ask for help they basically say they’ll throw your ticket away. I went looking for help just by searching for forums, but that wasn’t much help, just confusing. Then I decided to look on Facebook and I found a great group (very helpful) and since joining it I’ve actually progessed in the game and I really do like this game. It’s not as good as Puzzle Quest (that one gets a +++ with me) but it’s ok. I’ve updated my rating but knocked off 1 star for lack of in game instructions and basically being told to buzz off by developers when asking for it. This is a complicated game and it’s frustrating when the people who put it out there don’t want to actually support it. I wish these games would just charge a basic fee to buy and put the things you need in the game with opportunities to buy “special” items if your so inclined. Then if you’re not interested in the extra goodies you’re only paying for the main game with what you absolutely need in it. Too bad there’s not a vaccine to protect against greed. Everyone in the world could take it and we’d all be better off.

There are tons of puzzles and dragons rip offs on the App Store, but this game actually has its own unique gameplay beyond just match three to fight and use gatcha machines to get new troops. You have a customizable player character, the story so far is sparse but interesting, and both those things make it much easier to get invested in what’s going on. Your hero can upgrade and change their weapons, armor, and class as well. Your troops have cool skills and the game has its own types of damage and terminology to pay attention to for maximum effect. You can also unlock passive traits for them. Cards have an attack and defense, and there’s a real sense of strategy I don’t get as much from games like legendary heroes or myth wars (though I’m sure those have their own nuances I wasn’t compelled to stick around long enough to find out). There are lots of different battle modes, some I haven’t even tried yet. So far drops seem reasonable enough and you earn coins while you’re away from the game based on how many kingdoms you’ve unlocked. The UI is very smooth and uncluttered, so I never feel lost or confused. You can tap anything for an explanation of what it is to help you understand the many features easier. It’s all I wanted from a match 3 rpg, and being able to customize your hero like that as well as general gameplay and leveling/trait unlock system even puts it better than the magic the gathering match 3 game, although that’s a close second. I highly recommend! I hope the devs keep being awesome.

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.

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.

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!!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

I have been playing the game for a while now. It’s a fun game, very easy to F2P and still progress but plenty of option for spending money if you want to fast track. The in app purchases seem pretty fair and over legitimate bonuses if you choose to buy. The game has changed a lot since I started playing, for both better and worse. Minor UI changes would be nice, nothing major worth complaining about as it doesn’t detracted from game play. My biggest complaint would be when you ascend all troops, I would really like to know what troops I ascended and what their rarity is now. Just a simple pop up like when you open a chest to show all the characters that got upgraded.

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.

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!

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.

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

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 🙂

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.

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!

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 is a superior option in iPhone match games. It allows you to play and progress without time constraints or money constraints. It’s an enjoyable game for its strategy gameplay, and it’s enjoyable for the progression. You unlock areas, and then you can upgrade them in several ways; you increase your income per day by beating areas, you unlock mini-games, which are enjoyable, and which profit your progression, you get permanent bonuses from unlocked armor, and you upgrade and collect characters. I prefer this over automatic battle games like idle heroes, because of the interactive strategy match 3 has.

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.

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 😊

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.

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!

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 !!

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.

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.

One of the best battle match 3 games on any platform. I’ve played this game for years and no matter how many other match 3’s I test out, I always come back to GoW. My mobile account and PC account are linked which makes for a seamless transition when I’m out and about. They constantly add new troops and have a good mix of weekly and daily events. The only negative thing I could say about the game is how bad the PVP matchmaking is, but honestly almost every game is bad at that. All in all this is a great game and I would highly recommend it to anyone.

I’m late to the party on this one. I played magic the gathering gem match, and some kingdom building games with alliances etc. and of course candy crush and other matching games. This combines them all perfectly. Easy to learn, and filled with tons of side missions and games that can keep you busy as you get better, as well as if you want to play solo or as a guild member. Haven’t paid a dime and have gotten great cards. Has different games to get you better, and or force you to try new set ups, pretty balanced, and really fun.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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。

Gems of war I started the game this morning. It is fantastic game I quickly moved up levels. I did find that when I got to level 5 I did get more challenging. I did not realise that I could strike back with spells. Now the game has become more interesting. Level 6-9 were hard but fun it would be nice to have more skulls.

Totally awesome way to blend two game types. Gf and I play all the time

This game is nearly 20 years old - and I still love it. I love my guild, I love the game play. There’s no true end game, so it’s great for hardcore or super casual players. 0 ads, no real reason to spend money (power levels for more hourly gems), and actually challenges you as you progress.

I love this game so relaxing to play thank you for your free game I see people moaning about hard bots the game is challenging but u can get through u just need patience and u just need to know what your doing on the game there’s so much to it that’s what I love about it

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

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

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!

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

The hour just slip away

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

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…

Love this game

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!

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

Played awhile on console

I really like this game great job

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

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

Amazing game have been playing for years on console

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!

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

Gre

I would love to use my ps4 account as I love the game and would give it 5 stars otherwise!

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.🧶

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

This is just amazing for a free game

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! 👍🏼💀👍🏼💀👍🏼💀

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 really kills time

Parfait pour tuer du temps ici et la!

I’ve been playing this game for months now and I want my account elected. Ive NEVER played a game that is so rigged it’s pathetic. Every month a new “Mythical Troop” comes out on the first Friday. You have saved up all the keys you need in order to get this specific troop. I have tried and have gotten NOTHING!! I see people who get more of the Mythical Troop whilst others don’t get a thing especially when you have saved up all your event keys, gem keys, glory keys, guild keys. And Gold keys that don’t matter. So you spend close to 10k & higher to get this troop and you get NOTHING!!! The Developers of this game could care less!! It’s rigged I do NOT spend money on this game and if your not spending to advance your troops and such you cannot join in the “Higher Ranked Guilds” because your NOT good Enough for them. I played way before I joined a guild. Talk about Drama. If you don’t have Mythical Troops then you have no chance of winning against those players. I regret even playing this game longer than I should have!! Don’t expect to get into the top 10 guilds because they will “Kick you out” with no notice and no reason as to why until you have to download Discord or Wechat and so forth because you can’t talk in the in game chat room. When you finally get an answer then your told “YOUR NOT GOOD ENOUGH” to be in this alliance!! It’s pathetic. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME ON THIS GAME!! Trust me it’s so NOT worth it. Unless you want to pay over $100.+ every week!!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

It’s a fun, RPG style match game. You’ll use both strategy and luck to win and custom build teams from hundreds of different troops. It can also be repetitive and frustrating. In my opinion, worth a try. Pros: The Guild: I enjoy the ability to work together on team related games. There are also weekly benefits that can be earned by the guild contributing to a collective pot. (Sadly I used to really like the Guild Wars and PVP but that’s no longer true) New Content: They routinely add new material. From cities, to troops, to new modes of game play. Large: Even the basic game is quite extensive. You could play for many hours before conquering the entire kingdom, and there’s lots of continuing play value. Inclusive: They are interested in more than just a male gaming crowd. Cons: Troop Balancing: The higher level you go some troops become decidedly unbalanced. There’s a reason that from a pool hundreds of unique troops the same 20-25 get used over and over again. There have been some modest attempts to balance some of the troops, but not enough. Hero Balancing: Oh boy, do I hate the Heroes these days. Cannot stand the hero perks and weapon upgrades. Black Manacles, Skeleton Key, and Dawnbringer- these items can be abused to the point of not being fun. What should bring diversity has only narrowed the path. In PVP a hero is (almost) needed to compete. Furthermore the hero has to be hammered into one of a limited number of feasible builds with one of just a couple of competitive weapons. I avoid PVP most of the time, now. It used to be my favorite part of the game. Still Got Some Bugs: For example, the Alderfather summons 12th level troops for some reason. All the other summoners summon troops at the level they are in my barracks. I find this to be (annoying but) fairly forgivable, I’m sure it’s the kind of thing they’re working on.

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.

Consistently uncle to sign in after the latest update.

I am not sure if I have hit the wall where the game becomes unplayable unless i invest in it. So far i have put several hours in. It is worth a download, but not sure if it is worth paying to win.

I been playing for years, but lately I have experienced crashing. Some days it will let me play without crashing. Then there are days it crashes and slows down to a point of annoyance. Are you doing it on purpose because I am not a hardcore gamer. Or is it due to money? If anyone is experiencing the same please post. I am using an iPhone 6.

I’ve played GoW for years, and loved it. But over the last few years the slowly accumulating amount of bugs not fixed, the increasing amount of for-cash offers and the current changes to the guild events have turned GoW into a painful grind. The fun is almost gone. All that’s keeping me going right now is my guild. I’ll be leaving soon.

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.

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

Wish it wasn’t so weeby. Literally every woman in it, enemy or ally, it cringey af.

App has been down for 3 days now like seriously?

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.

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)

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

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!

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
