It has the right gameplay & difficulty mix, right amount of content for the price and the unlocking system does not have any signs of greed & frustrations.

Funny that there's no micro transactions like we usually get on mobile games.

In the end, this should be added to the list for those who like TD games.

"don't let the enemies touch the gems to get brilliant rank" my brother in christ the gem cave is like 4 tiles away from enemy spawn

Great TD game ruined by the lack of a save feature. Or rather, a save feature that just randomly and commonly deletes that save completely - 3 times in a 2 hour period. Gotta admit, those first five levels are great. I should know, I played them each at least three times.

Nice game so far.
But I FOXING HATE and am fed up with games that are not functioning normally in offline mode! And thats the reason, why I do not recommend it.
The achievements are not working offline and whats even worse, the savegames are not working offline either.
So as long as IriySoft does not deliver a free 100% always and everywhere working internet connection together with the game or at least Armor Games (my former flash-heroes) advertize it with a big fat warning "Caution! Not a real game: ONLY playable online" they can stick their positive feedback up their noses.

Im really sorry, but I am soooooo fed up with this mindless hipster Indies. If you develop like good old flash-indie-devs, then also stay on newgrounds!
Sorry,... sorry... I have to cool down a bit... This is really heating up my head. ...Sorry.
So thumb down, over & out.

my save was deleted -_-

An amazing game, and easily best tower defense EVER MADE. All of the tower defense games are all the same, but this one has an original concept and unique gameplay. It should be 1000x more popular than it is.

This is a 2D retro pixel tower defense game with a couple of twists. You play the bad guys, and your towers can be freely placed with limits, you have to place towers on matching coloured areas.

The theme is fun and the coloured tower placement is an interesting twist on the formula. The problems here are 100% technical issues from poor quality development. They chose to use obsolete retro pixel "art" as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics. It's unclear if this is due to lack of budget or talent, regardless, the overall visual quality of the game is extremely low as a result. There's no working full screen mode despite the game being released in 2017. Resolution is fixed and can't be changed.

The quality here falls far beneath minimum acceptable standards for a PC game. It's more of a shame to see good game concepts wasted by shoddy implementation. .

Ok so I changed my review to Thumbs down
The levels get awfully annoying as you progress. Get ready to repeat a level like 4-5 times for 2 stars (not even 3 stars).
I do not like replaying the exact same level 4-5 times
The combat system is unbalanced and perks almost useless

Cursed Treasure 2 is a tower defense game where you play as the dark lord - master of orcs, undead, and demons - who must defend your cursed gemstones from greedy humans who want to steal them. Developed by Iriy Soft, the game was originally published on Armor Games before recieving this updated rerelease. In fact, if you're at all interested in tower defense games you've probably already played this game before on Armor Games.

Approaching this review, I found myself feeling like there are two big questions to answer.

Obviously on some level this is going to depend on your opinion of tower defense games, which seems to be a love-it-or-hate-it kind of genre. If you hate tower defense, this game isn't going to change your opinion.

If you love tower defense? Well, the game is at least competently made. Abilities and upgrades are well thought out and the game controls pretty well.

Compared to other tower defense games, the level of strategy here is... rather simplistic. Each type of tower can only go on a single type of terrain so there's no real decision making in choosing what to place where. (What should I put on this green tile? Duh, an orc tower, the only thing that CAN go there.) There are multiple upgrade paths; for example, orc towers can become either snipers or explosive ballista dens, but there's still not much to decide there. You want snipers in the front, mortars in the back. You want terror crypts in the back to scare enemies and make them run back through your gauntlet again, and frost crypts in the front to slow them down as they make their way through.

The game isn't the best tower defense there is, but it isn't terrible. It's competent and fun. In fact...

My Rating: [3/5] MEDIOCRE

So, on to question number two...

That's a bit of a hard question. There are some thing that I like about this new version and some things I really don't.

The graphics have improved, and now each region of the game has its own distinct theme. The starting region, Meadowshire, is fairly generic forest and dirt roads, the Holy Mountain is snowy, Tanglewood is green and swampy, and so on. It's a nice touch.

Some of the gameplay mechanics have changed. There are now special spells that require skulls - a new resource and the only resource that carries over between missions - to cast, and which give strong effects like giving you 1,000 free gold or instantly returning all your gems to the caves.

There's also three new missions set in "The Deep", the land of the dwarves.

On the other hand, difficulty has also been increased, and I'm not sure if I'd say it's been done in a good way. For one, gold mines have been removed from most of the missions and you'll be seriously money-starved. (And before you ask, villages and castles and the like no longer give gold income when captured; instead they just spit out coins that you can grab when you first hit them.)

Also, some enemies have been made more difficult. Wizards now have a very powerful mass heal, and the Dendrologists will summon their little tree friends much faster, to the point of actual swarming.

And this leads us to the biggest problem... those three new missions against the dwarves? They're just plain broken, to the point of being borderline impossible. This isn't just me talking, either. The official strategy for how to beat them is to save up your skulls over the course of the entire game and just cheese the @#%$ out of them. It's generally considered you'll need to spend 2,000 or so skulls (to put that in perspective, you might get 50 skulls in one mission and the spells themselves cost arund 100-350 skulls to cast) in order to have a real chance.

The best I can say is, at least it's not just a completely ridiculous cash grab. I was actually surprised to find that the skull-based super spells weren't actually a cash shop and instead a legit in-game thing.

PROS
+ Nicely drawn, cute graphics.
+ Did at least entertain me for several hours.

CONS
- Not a lot of deep, strategic decision making.
- Can be kind of difficult.
- The last three missions are laughably unbalanced and not really fun at all.

SHOULD I BUY IT?
In the end, I have to ask myself, would I really want to recommend this game to people? If one of my friends came up to me and said "hey, man, what new game do you think I should play?" would I name this one?

No, not really.

It's not terrible and if you want to spend five bucks on it, hey, go right ahead. But I'm afraid I just really don't feel like I can honestly recommend it.
