The game remains playable, enjoyable, even winnable, without the additional content, though some level challenges cannot be accessed without the Premium Only game modes.The following skills are available. The extra skill points will help you crush earlier levels with ease, but later levels still demand careful attention to where and how you apply your resources, simply providing you with an enhanced array of options. Labyrinth manages to walk a fine line between genuinely rewarding a player for their financial contribution and breaking the game. Many webgame premium rewards are the equivalent of handing the player a tactical nuke when before they'd had to rely on a butter knife. Somewhere around the 20 hour mark, when I found I was still enjoying the game, I decided that the makers had earned the price of a sandwich from me, and sprung for it. For $5 you receive extra skill points, access to new games modes, new levels, and new skills to plug experience points into.

One day, monsters attack, and a mysterious path opens up, leading you deeper and deeper into a twisting maze full of goodness knows what. The basic setup is that you are a young mage sent to defend a small backwater village and wait to complete some kind of test. Defeating certain levels triggers brief cutscene exposition, and then its back to the gameplay. Speaking of story, it is spooned out in extremely small doses. You can also combine gems of different types, broadening their abilities, though it's a calculated risk, as the combined gem will be less than the sum of its parts. The gems can be upgraded to provide greater tiers of range, damage and effectiveness. You have at your disposal eight types of gems, each with distinct abilities. But these serve as platforms for the real game pieces: the eponymous gemcraft. You still build towers and traps on the game board.

Zombies or Kingdom Rush, the Gemcraft series takes a modular approach to the concept of Tower Defense. At any rate, while Game In A Bottle may have funny ideas about counting, the developers have a good grasp of solid game design, resulting in a deep and complex tower defense game. So in case you missed it, the sequence is: Chapters 1, 0, Blank, and 2. Well, technically it's the 'Lost Chapter', which was preceded by Chapter Zero, and Chapter One before that. Gemcraft Labyrinth is the third chapter in the Gemcraft tower defense series by developer Game In a Bottle.
