About the Game

You are a Gemwielder, capable of controlling ancient artifacts called Gembearers. Powerful by themselves, only by socketing them with magical gems will you acquire unique abilities that allow you to prevail in a duel with another Gemwielder.

Competitive

Select your favorite character to compete online against other Gemwielders around the world or face your teacher Sokras and climb the Student Ranks.

Replayable

Each game you adapt to a novel configuration of gems and cards and craft a new deck with a unique color combination. No two games are the same and whoever seizes the opportunities presented to them best, will be rewarded. 

Interactive

Gemwielders is designed around interaction from the ground up. The innovative combat system allows attack and defense cards to clash each turn and interact meaningfully.

Unique Aesthetic

Taking heavy inspiration from paper theatre, all models, backgrounds and cards are illustrated traditionally in ink and watercolor, giving the game a unique feel.
