About this game
Forge. Combine. Survive.
At the heart of GemCraft is a deep gem-combining system. Forge magical gems, fuse them into higher ranks, and slot them into towers and traps to build devastating defenses. Manage your mana carefully, summon extra waves for greater rewards, and push your strategy further with every level.
Massive Content and Legendary Difficulty
The GemCraft series is known for its challenging difficulty and lengthy gameplay. Expect over 100 hours of content from these three games! Explore many maps, level your wizard beyond belief, upgrade your skills, collect amulets, and more! The content that was paid or exclusive to ArmorGames is unlocked and included in this collection.
Original Experience, Polished for PC
The original GemCraft experience, faithfully preserved for PC. Each game runs in 1080p with enhanced audio and full Steam support, including achievements and cloud saves.
