When two Gem rulers threaten the peace of Era 3, Steven and the Crystal Gems set out to stop them. Players take the role of the group’s leader and can play as nine characters, including Steven, Garnet, Pearl, Amethyst, Lapis Lazuli, Bismuth, Peridot, Connie, and Greg.
Travel through the story’s stages and fight enemies in turn-based battles. Choose which characters join the party, switch their formation during combat, and use their different abilities to gain an advantage.
Unlock abilities and upgrades, equip alternate costumes, and use combo attacks and Gem fusions, including Smoky Quartz, Sunstone, Rainbow Quartz 2.0, and Obsidian. The game also includes an infinite black-hole challenge described by a player as roguelike.
In this selected sample, players praise the story, the series’ atmosphere, and the turn-based combat. Some particularly enjoy switching between characters and using their different abilities, while others describe the challenge as engaging. Criticisms include repetitive activities, difficulty some find unfair, control concerns, and frustration from the game being unavailable to buy.
