• Iron mode difficulty fix - 18 March 2021

  Hey Everyone, I'm sorry for the mess with the initial Iron update, it contained an error that made too many skill points available, and all the fields were adjusted for difficulty with this error in effect. After fixing the error, Iron mode became unplayable, so in the last 6 days all the 120 fields had to be playtested and adjusted again to set a "merely beatable" difficulty (for me at least, with my not great, not terrible GC skills). It's done now and included in v.1.2.1. Difficulty is difficult to set just right for as many players as possible. Iron mode is meant to be hard, but it can be played to the end. You will need to go back and open those stashes, try different defense setups on trickier fields, redistribute your skills sometimes, consider calling the last few waves of giants early and then juggle with the walls, have some mana farm, exploit corrupted mana shards, use pylons…

• Iron Update - 10 March 2021

  Hey Everyone, After a long wait again, GemCraft Frostborn Wrath has finally got a new major update!

All previously missing trial fields have also arrived for Frostborn and Chilling game modes. Iron Mode features: Beam skill is given at start More waves, tougher monsters await you on every field 3 skill points are given for the first win on each field You have to open iron, bronze and brass stashes to get more skill points and unlock skills No xp, leveling, talisman, traits, shadow core, endurance mode, trial mode Achievements don't give skill points A great bunch of bug fixes and QoL updates are included too: Added fields A5 and A6 Added all the missing trial fields Modified 20+ fields, mostly trials New option: hide monsters when time…

• Chilling Update - 27 April 2020

  Hey Everyone, After a long silence, a new major update for the game is finally here! The initial difficulty of the game got a mixed reception, even after many smaller attempts to make the game's overall feeling less unforgiving. So now, in addition to the original "Frostborn" difficulty, a new "Chilling" Game mode has been added for those players who just want to smash through the monsters and feel the mana flowing through their veins. Existing Frostborn saved games can be switched to Chilling mode, so you don't need to start over again for a monster-shredding freezing-edge experience. (Going back to Frostborn is not possible though.) Chilling Mode features: Freeze spell is given at start +3 gem damage at first grade (causes a dramatic damage increase at higher grades) 3 free buildings (except walls) can be built in every battle +300 mana when a battle starts 3x shadow cores drop from m…

• Working on difficulty changes - 11 January 2020

  Hello Everyone, Thank you for your support with both your purchases and your constructive comments! We are listening, taking notes, and thinking of ways to make GemCraft Frostborn Wrath the game you would enjoy playing more. On top of releasing several updates with bug fixes in the coming days, we plan to make changes to the difficulty of the game and getting all the important loot out of the Trial mode wizard stashes. We see that right now the challenge aspect of the game is overwhelming, pushing the game towards being a "Dark Souls of TD", the goal is to make the game enjoyable if you want to feel the power and have the edge over the monsters, and make challenges optional, just like how the battle traits, early waves, and enraging mechanics work. Trial mode will stay but it will be your choice if you want to take on an unforgiving and puzzling challenge; you can get to the end of the…
