Our Review

Without a doubt, Cursed Gem is a game that you should not miss if you are a lover of platforms, metroidvanias and hard games. You will not get bored between its more than ten levels and more than eighty rooms whose designs, far from being linear, will make you break your head more than once. Or that you find the coveted diamond, who knows.
