### 3/5 — Awesome

*2023-05-27, version 1.19.2*

Update: The game is not finished!!! The developers apparently forgot all about this game. Which is a shame because it’s pretty good. Old school RPG with fun graphics and a nice story. Be prepared to grind a lot for higher scores in the later levels. You’ll need to upgrade equipment. My only complaints are- if you accidentally skip part of the story, it’s gone for good and the upgrades cost too much vs what an enemy may drop. Still, I’m going to keep playing! And I’ve finished what is there. Wish they’d cared enough to complete this!

### 3/5 — Good atto kill time👍🏻

*2018-08-08, version 1.19.2*

I really like the game but would love it if there's more campaign worlds added to it.

### 4/5 — Fun reminiscent of Pokemon

*2017-08-17, version 1.19.2*

But the PvP (Arena) is not balanced and filled with bots. You are matched with opponents 5 -10 levels above you to get you to buy gems and spend money skipping opponents to find a poorly balanced bot to fight.
  The bots are pretty obvious. They are 50+level players who have never leveled up or changed their starting pet? ..and then have a bunch of duplicate equipment whose stats don't stack.. No human player gets that far doing that.

### 2/5 — Really devs?

*2017-08-16, version 1.19.2*

Couldn't even add a swing of the sword into the budget?
Really unsatisfying combat. Deleted.

### 3/5 — Good game

*2017-07-11, version 1.19.2*

I fell in love with this game but just as I really got into it the story just stopped. Real bummer. FINISH THE GAME ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

### 2/5 — Eh....

*2017-05-13, version 1.19.2*

It's a fun game to a point but after a while they make it so hard to finish levels you just get frustrated with it. After you finish the first world it's gonna take a long time to do anything else in this game don't waste your time after the first world

### 5/5 — Loads of fun

*2017-04-30, version 1.19.2*

A mixture of Pokemon and bejeweled, great game

### 4/5 — Decent

*2017-04-25, version 1.19.2*

Good time-eater, the best part is probably the writing which is a bit of a laugh.

### 3/5 — Fun and highly addictive but

*2017-04-22, version 1.19.2*

If I try to play an ad for the free gems my phone locks up and the ad doesn't play or come back to the game screen. It is stuck on a black screen. If I close and reopen the app it will restart just fine but there are no rewards for watching the ad. Please look into it!

### 5/5 — Fun and difficult

*2017-04-10, version 1.19.2*

Love this game. You don't need to spend money just so PVP to get great rewards. Don't underestimate stats!

### 3/5 — 3 stars because...

*2017-03-30, version 1.19.2*

i really love this game, but it crashes or freezes all the time. its hard to play, when you can't.

### 5/5 — Good game

*2017-03-22, version 1.19.2*

Jejdnd

### 2/5 — Fun but major problem

*2017-03-17, version 1.19.2*

I really enjoy this game. There is one major problem though; It crashes constantly. It's to the point that it's basically unplayable. The only reason I gave this game this score is because when it works it's probably my favorite game. Desperately needs to be fixed

### 5/5 — Just recommend this one

*2017-03-08, version 1.19.2*

This is a easy and fast game to kill time. I would always spend a few minutes playing it every day.

### 2/5 — It's okkkkk

*2017-03-08, version 1.19.2*

Nothing out of the ordinary. Gets boring pretty fast

### 5/5 — Fun

*2017-02-28, version 1.19.2*

Good puzzle game made more fun by rpg semantics. Plus good old school game humor.

### 4/5 — Decent

*2017-02-28, version 1.19.2*

Good at passing the time.

### 1/5 — Ads

*2017-04-28, version 1.19.2*

Annoying ads that are supposed to be gone after a purchase are still popping up all the time. Restore isn't working.

### 1/5 — They haven't updated levels in months!

*2017-04-21, version 1.19.2*

There are times I win a battle & my phone locks up. It doesn't give me the credit for the win or reimburse what you lost to battle. They have deleted my second hero twice & I lost everything when switching sometimes it deletes your character & you can't get it back. There is no delete button if you want to delete a character either. They haven't upgraded. I cannot go any further with my character until they make more levels. Outside of that, The game is fun easy to learn & addictive to play. Upgrade fighting gear for both your character & your fighting pets! I Gave it a 2 until revisions are made to 5 star standards.

### 1/5 — Ads crash game

*2017-04-17, version 1.19.2*

When I watch an ad to get something it just shows a black screen. Sometimes if I'm lucky it'll play but I can't exit the ad.
Nice developing, forcing me to pay you to get better items, or continue after a cheap boss with 5000 health at Level 10.

### 1/5 — No offline mode

*2016-11-28, version 1.19.2*

Why would a simple match-3 REQUIRE you to be online to play?! Useless.

### 1/5 — Updates took the game downhill

*2016-11-20, version 1.19.2*

### 1/5 — Crash

*2016-11-19, version 1.19.2*

So I played a hour with zero issues. Then I spent 2.99 for double coins since then....all it does is crash. After ever battle crash....even upgrading crash. So don't spend and you might be ok....such bs!

### 1/5 — After I updated it..

*2016-08-17, version 1.18.1*

After the latest update, I go to Gem Hunters, and all my data is gone.  It says pick your hero and name.  I got pretty far in my game and it's just so sad how it's all gone.  I'm not playing it again.

### 1/5 — 👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽

*2016-08-15, version 1.18.1*

Loved playing till the update and pets were added in the arena now I don't like playing it thinking about deleting the app now

### 1/5 — гавно

*2016-06-29*

куча рекламы, море даната, зачем то арена в которой тебя метелят по принципу и противника теже предметы на два уровня ниже, но статы в 3 раза выше и играет за него компьютер(без поля поосто выдумывает сколько дамага он нанёс, а может и три раза ударить вместо двух-это если вдруг побеждаешь), а самое главное баги их исправлять даже не собираться ибо тут и так деньги текут уже другую игру делают

### 1/5 — Sadly dissapointed.

*2016-06-19, version 1.15.1*

From the makers of great games like siege hero. I looked forward to a new game. It was fun in the beginning. 

However, the level screen blacks out and will not scroll to get to the other levels. Please fix. 

Lately the ads are causing the game to freeze and I have to restart. 

Please fix and I will review

### 5/5 — My experience with Gem hunters

*2025-08-02, version 1.19.2*

My experience with gem hunters is great because you can fight monsters and get a reward after you beat them in battle.

### 5/5 — Gg

*2021-11-24*

### 5/5 — Please develop more content!

*2021-08-23, version 1.19.2*

I love this game and have been playing it for years!  I don’t know how many active players there are anymore, but I hope the developers consider continuing the Emetteoe campaign. I think this game has a strong foundation worth expanding, and I would be willing to pay money (not a subscription) for additional content. 

Ideas for improvement:
* A marketplace to buy special gear, either using coins or gems
* Ability to change gear or abilities on pets for arena battles
* Ability to use pets in campaign battles
* Ability to reassign level up points after the fact

Just some ideas… I gave it 5 stars even without all this!

### 5/5 — This game is just amazing!

*2021-01-26, version 1.19.2*

I highly suggest it to anyone who wants to enjoy a game. It’s very addictive and you will want to play for hours on end. Anyways this game is great and I love the creators of it!!!!

### 5/5 — Where Are You Guys?

*2018-12-07, version 1.19.2*

Love the game. Love the snappy repartee. But for cryin out loud, would you add the next world already?

### 5/5 — J’adore ce jeu

*2017-12-26, version 1.19.2*

Ajoutez moi: 8c217943

J’ai adoré ce jeu, et j’y reviens toujours de temps en temps et c’est toujours aussi divertissant :)

### 5/5 — Update?

*2017-09-25, version 1.19.2*

Please add new levels soon! It will also be nice to not cap out at level 65.

### 5/5 — Хорошая игра

*2017-08-23*

Добавляйтесь в друзья 0a1064a4, тут отличная прокачка без доната и не нужно весь день залипать, хотя можно!

### 5/5 — Not bad

*2017-08-10, version 1.19.2*

Like it

### 5/5 — Enjoyable Challenge

*2017-07-28, version 1.19.2*

This game is very enjoyable, with a nice concept and story with loveable characters. The first campaign ending is very funny. However beating the final boss felt impossible unless i waited and saved up the gems but it was very much worth it and satisfying
