Gemcraft really seems like a baseline for TD games to me. It looks very unassuming, but sucks you in for hours and hours of complex and finely tuned gameplay.
[b]Why did you play Gemcraft: Chasing Shadows?[/b]
I played various GC titles in the Flash (version) back in the day. When I found it on sale here, I couldn't resist.
[b]Still any good?[/b]
Absolutely.
To be fair, Gemcraft doesn't look like much at first: couple of towers, stones of a few different colours, that's it. But the tactical variations are insane, and the game definitely grows on you. It's fun to explore the maps and your options. Meta-Progression also gives you a plethora of options. (Perhaps being able to save a few different loadouts there would add a bit of QoL.)
The game also ran absolutely smoothly - well, until I learnt how to break it. But it didn't crash on me even then.
All in all this may perhaps not be the best game to get into TD strategy because of it's complexity, but it is certainly a good choice to sink loads of hours into.
[b]What about achievements??[/b]
Well, you're in luck there, buddy, because there's a whopping 419 of them! Most of these are pretty simple and definitely fun to achieve as you progress, but the Iron Forge one is of course hardcore. I think I racked up some 411 of 'em, and I'm looking forward to get to 100% here one day.

This has to be one of my favorite games of all time. I remember first playing the free version online when I was twelve. Years later I came across it on steam and instantly bought it. I think that it is very well designed, and I enjoy both the strategy and grind aspects of it.
