Skip it if you…

- Players seeking elaborate character-building systems may find the progression centered on more than 10 skills
Our take on Gem Worlds
The store presentation foregrounds 50 levels and five worlds, but also labels the game short and gives a play-time estimate of more than three hours. That makes the level count less indicative of overall campaign length than the headline structure may suggest.
What is Gem Worlds?
Gem Worlds combines turn-based dungeon exploration with puzzle mechanics and roguelike progression.
The game contains 50 randomly generated stages spread across five worlds. Players collect gems, navigate around boulders and biome-specific hazards such as mines, icicles, and cacti, then fight monsters with melee attacks and skills or avoid them. More than 10 skills can be unlocked and upgraded during a run, with a new skill or improvement available every two levels. Character development can be changed between attempts, so each death supports a different skill combination. The game offers more than three hours of play time, an invincibility toggle, large text, no quick-time events, and a playable demo.
