The verdict
A faithful, affordable bundle of three classic GemCraft flash games with helpful quality-of-life upgrades. Skip it if you want widescreen/4K, 60 FPS or a remaster.
Great for
GemCraft fans and tower defense lovers wanting a nostalgic, well-priced trip through the original three games
Main risk
Dated tech: 30 FPS cap, no widescreen/4K or key remapping, and it's essentially the old flash games.
What players love
Best tower defense series, deep gameplay
