Gemfire is a solid game that both looks and plays beautifully. The game is a typical strategy game, where the aim is to defeat all the regions by any means nessecary. You will appoint an advisor at the beginning of the game, and allthough the advisor comes in handy from time to time, it is ultimately up to you to do everything you need to succeed. You will also be helped by one of the six wizards, and each one is different in both strength and type of attack. Graphically this game is marvellous, and each unit has their own unique fighting animations. The music is also very pleasing. Gemfire is a very nice game that is easy to learn, but hard to win. Recommended to anyone who likes this genre.

Trotz gewisser Eintönigkeiten beim Spielablauf kann man sich ordentlich festbeißen. Die Computergegner werkeln munter vor sich hin und mitten in der schönsten Expansionsphase kann Ihnen ein böser Nachbar überraschend Ärger machen, wenn just alle verfügbaren Magier auf Erholungsurlaub sind. Mehr spielerische Abwechslung hätte nicht geschadet. Die vier Szenarien bieten alle dieselbe Landkarte; außerdem läßt sich der Schwierigkeitsgrad nicht frei einstellen.
