Elgem TD

Protect the Elgem Nexus at all costs. Enemies are relentlessly attacking your control gem, so you must defeat them, collect shards, upgrade your gems, and discover powerful elemental combinations to defend your creator. The twist is that not all gems grow the same way. Their development is completely random, leading to infinite replayability. You'll never know what your gems will turn into, so you'll have to adapt your strategies on the fly to overcome each new challenge. Inspired by classic and beloved TDs, in Elgem TD you harness the power of the elements - fire, water, earth, and air and many more- to create the ultimate defensive setup. Combine gems in creative ways to unleash devastating attacks and protect the Elgem Nexus. Can you survive the onslaught and prove yourself the master of this element-themed tower defense? At the start of each wave you place a number of gem bases, which are then assigned a random unlocked element by the Elgem Nexus. Choose which one to keep to face the next wave. The level could be won by getting the right gem in the right place. There are damage, support and crowd control gems to unlock and master. Enemies are coming in droves through the portals. You need to stop them from reaching the end portal or the Elgem Nexus will be damaged. Use powerful combinations of gems to stop them. If those elements didn’t work, try others! Gather shards from defeating enemies and use them to upgrade and level up your gems. Increase damage, range and fire rate, buffs and debuffs. You need to make your gems stronger, because the enemies will be harder to defeat as the waves increase. You pick the locations, the Elgem Nexus assigns the elements, and you pick the one to keep. Every level you play will be different! You won’t always get the same gems in the same locations, even if you unlock the same elements. Some enemies will have immunities and special abilities, so you will need to adapt and try different strategies and different combinations of elements. Think you have what it takes to protect the Elgem Nexus? We’ll see, when you face an endless amount of waves, each harder than the one before.
