The AdventureQuest Intensifies With The Arrival Of PvP Battles In Battle Gems
July 9, 2014
At last, true Player vs. Player (PvP) has arrived in Battle Gems.
Released last March, Battle Gems is a mobile reworking of Artix Entertainment's original PvP Web puzzle game, AdventureQuest. Essentially a match-three game, it has you swiping over puzzle gems to launch battle attacks against monsters.
Since its launch, Battle Gems has offered a so-called PvP system whereby you can tap on a friend's portrait on the map and kick that friend's butt, with an option to share a screenshot of your butt-kicking. Artix admits that that's a rather sad excuse for PvP.
Fortunately, it has introduced actual PvP combat to Battle Gems through the game's latest update.
Now, you can play Battle Gems against players from around the world in PvP battles featuring randomly generated gem boards with different gameplay mechanics in each fight. The game now also challenges you to collect all of the 20 PvP items and unlock all of the 216 PvP titles.
