Gems of War

Match-3 puzzle combat meets RPG team-building. You're lining up colored gems to charge spells and matching skull tiles to deal direct damage to enemy units. Each troop card has unique abilities triggered by collecting specific gem types, so team composition matters—pairing the right units creates combo chains that can swing fights. Battles play out on a single grid where every match fuels your next move, and cascades from one match can set up devastating follow-ups. The system's simple to grasp but rewards planning several moves ahead. Hundreds of collectible troops mean constant roster tweaking. Good fit for anyone who likes their puzzle games with actual strategic weight.
