The few bigger ones will cost you more but the extra monsters will be easier than using allot of little gems. If you want +x monsters you can use allot of little gems or a few bigger ones. I like how it works as you use more expensive gems as well. It encourages you to be pushing the limits and to not just be complacent. It adds a “make it harder now so I will be stronger for later option” and does so well. I love almost everything about this mechanic I think it adds so much to the game. Personally I like this minimalist approach to the story because I think what is there is good and adds to the game and that doing anything more would get in the way. It does a good job of setting the scene and adding context but doesn’t intrude very much. The story is a continuation that builds on the previous games and whilst I’m not going to say it is one of the greatest stories I am more than ok with it. Also I thoroughly enjoyed the vision fields for the same reason I enjoyed the iron wizard mode. This is not a problem with U8 it is the opposite, it was that unlocking the skill tomb on U8 was so challenging and enjoyable that everything else after that was lacklustre in comparison. I took a break from endurance runs to do iron wizard mode where after breezing through the start it quickly got very interesting and I thoroughly enjoyed playing up to and including U8. Which was helpful but I quickly ran into performance issues which discouraged me from doing endurance runs. After not too much looking I found the extreme end game guide. I was aware that there was almost definitely a better way to do it but could not be bothered to think about it too much. I was also curious to see what gem “specs” people were using because I knew I was just throwing together the different gem types I wanted in a ratio that seemed ok.
It was around when I got too wizard lvl 1k I started looking to see what others were doing on endurance runs so too see if there was any tricks I was missing. Anyway I finished the game off without too many issues after that and went on to increase my wizard lvl and get achievements. In hindsight it was a really stupid time to do it because I had the forgotten being annoying. I think I doubled my wizard lvl but I could be wrong on that.
I can’t remember how much xp I got but I remember being very satisfied. I was getting towards the end and had a decent amount of wizard lvls under my belt when I decided to return to a previous field for the first time, not because I was stuck but rather cause I had all the gem types I wanted on that field and I was curious how far and how much xp I could get in endurance. At some point (can’t remember where exactly) this got too difficult so I started turning some of the traits off. If I remember correctly I was clearing fields in a semi random order putting everything that made it harder on as I unlocked it and not really bothering with endurance with a couple of exceptions. I got this game on steam shortly after it was released on steam and having played Gemcraft chapter 0 allot and a little bit of labyrinth (when I say a little bit I remember completing it but I don’t remember playing it very much) so I was familiar enough with the game to breeze through the start of the game.
My experience (This is merely for context and can be skipped completely) I am more than happy to debate and discuss anything. I thought I would share my opinions and go into detail about what I do and don’t like about chapter 2 and make suggestions for stuff I would change.
