## What is Battle Gems (AdventureQuest)?

A battle/puzzle game with monsters so epic that you'll forget you're still in the bathroom. 

You’re a busy hero. You have dragons to rescue and princesses to defeat. Or is it the other way around? Join the other players in a race to the fire-erupting, skull-faced volcano lair at the top of the world map. It’s called Mount Death Dread Doom Skull. Within it, you will find the ultimate prize. The path there is an unforgettable adventure, fraught with peril (…and puns). Battle dragons, zombies, and over a hundred unique monsters serving delusional arch villains.

It will take you less than 10 seconds to learn how to launch attacks using the battle gems. Drag your wickedly-talented finger over 3 or more matching gems to launch a simple attack. Each type of gem does something different. Learn new strategies, powers, animated skills, and grow stronger with every step of your journey. But your first opponent is a Red Dragon boss fight. Good luck with that! 

FUN, ADDICTIVE & UNIQUE GAMEPLAY! Battle Gems is the evolution of our original PvP web puzzle game.  It features over the top fantasy characters and interesting new game mechanics.  

150+ FULLY ANIMATED MONSTERS! Battle crazy and bizarre creatures including Octobear (Octopus + Bear?), Brutalcorn (you sorta need to see this one for yourself), Gandolphin (“You shall not splash!”), crazy elemental and undead dragons and more...  

BEAUTIFUL WORLD MAP WITH 450+ QUESTS! Every step of the way towards Mount Death Dread Doom Skull is filled with exciting quests and side challenges. Race your friends to the top.

COLLECT EVERY WEAPON, ARMOR & PET! Are you a rare item hunter? With Battle Gem’s unlimited inventory, you can get literally every item in the entire game. And you will want to! Not just because you can customize your character to look however you want, but each and every item you own permanently increases your power.  Items are obtained in game using gold or by completing quests. 

PLAYER VS PLAYER (PvP)! Battle your friends and then send them screenshots of your victory!

BECOME THE BATTLE KING! Do you have what it takes to journey all the way to the top of the world map and face the diabolical (OMG I love using the word diabolical) dragon which lives in the volcanic lair!? 

PUNS! But you should download and install the game anyway.

### 5/5 — A little janky on newer phones, but still very fun.

*2024-02-01*

I played this game back when it came out and recently decided to revisit it. Not having to worry about energy has made the game much more enjoyable. A few of the textures look a little weird which I think is just due to them being designed for older phone screens. It doesn’t impact the gameplay at all though. The progression is steady and rewarding. I would love to see a content update for this one day.

### 3/5 — Need update

*2023-10-10*

Good game but we need the service back. You can’t do anything on the game can’t go online can’t even buy extra coins because there’s no internet connection.

### 5/5 — Yay update

*2023-07-25*

Its been 4 years since an update! Still one of the best games to play!

### 5/5 — Relaxing game

*2023-04-19*

Great game to unwind or pass the time. It could use an update, as it isn’t optimized for the longer Apple phone screens and the PVP doesn’t work anymore. It also would be cool to see it connect to AQ Worlds as a companion game, where you could get rewards for playing both games.

### 4/5 — Miss this game

*2021-09-19, version 1.2.17*

This was my childhood and I’d love to play it all over again but the main menu is so buggy

### 3/5 — It’s ok

*2021-03-23, version 1.2.17*

The game is ok. It’s not the greatest puzzle game. I would rather play candy crush than this, and I hate candy crush. They only thing they do is make fun of other franchises. Examples are, Instead of God of War, it’s croc of war. Instead of Darth Vader, it’s darth hater. My father worked on this game and thank god he got another job with someone else. I’m pretty disappointed in this work

### 3/5 — Improper screen fitting.

*2021-01-26, version 1.2.17*

It’s a fun game, I can only find two things that are annoying and if they were fixed I would definitely change rating to 5 stars.

1. Some text and menus appear off screen.
It doesn’t make the game unplayable it’s just a little irritating.

2. No one wants to sit through that little intro every time they get on to play. Make it “skippable”.

I’m playing on an iPhone 11 Pro if that matters to anyone.

### 4/5 — Decent, but definitely a pay to win

*2020-10-24, version 1.2.17*

I really enjoy this game. It’s fun, it passes time, etc. but now I’m too a certain point where it almost seems impossible to beat. I have been stuck over a week. I meet all the “requirements” yet I’m getting two shot. I’m not spending money to get past this point. But that’s what I assume they expect you to do, just give up and pay.

### 2/5 — How did this game even get on the App Store

*2020-09-26, version 1.2.17*

I’ll give them this they did a really good job of making it terrible all the dragons are incredibly hard to beat you get them to like 1 health and they instantly kill you

### 3/5 — Update!

*2020-05-16, version 1.2.17*

I’ve been playing games from Artix since 2012 and my favorite game to pass the time has to be battle gems. I can’t even try to start the game because it would freeze when I click play. Please update it so it could be compatible with ios 13 or even make a sequel!

**Developer response:** Hello. We are sorry you are having this issue. Please contact Artix Support via artix.com/contact so they can investigate. Thank you!
