Cursed Treasure 2

Cursed Treasure 2 is a tower defense flash game that was developed by IriySoft and released on August 30, 2013. 
It is the sequel to Cursed Treasure and unlike most games of its genre, entails building towers to stop enemies from stealing and escaping with magical gems as opposed to simply preventing them from getting to a designated exit. It also expands upon the original game's mechanics and adds new twists to the gameplay, as well as changing the visuals to a more cartoony art style.
Cursed Treasure 2 is also available on Steam for $5 and on mobile for free. This premium version of the game contains balance fixes and a new world containing three new levels, seven new enemies, and a new boss.
==Gameplay==
As with its predecessor, Cursed Treasure 2 distinguishes itself from most other tower defense games by having players prevent enemies from stealing and escaping with gems hidden in a cave, rather than simply stopping them from getting from point A to point B. Enemies enter the map from one or more entry points and make their way to the cave with the gems; there are always five gems in each level and most levels have one cave, but some later levels might instead have two caves with the gems divied up between them. If an enemy reaches a cave, they'll take a gem (most enemies can only carry one, but bosses and certain powerful enemies can carry multiple gems at once) and try to escape by going back to the exit. If said enemy escapes with a gem, the gem is lost forever. Meanwhile, killing an enemy with a gem causes them to drop it; this prevents the gem from being lost but puts it at greater risk of being stolen by other enemies. If all five gems get stolen, the level is lost, but if you survive the entire level with at least one gem left, the level is won.
Cursed Treasure 2 introduces lots of new enemy types and even full-fledged bosses alongside the old ones returning from the first game. These new foes have many abilities which include buffing other enemies, debuffing your towers, and circumventing obstacles like water and rock barriers that would normally force enemies to take the longer route to the gem cave. Aside from these, Cursed Treasure 2 also introduces a new threat: buildings, which act as support units and have various abilities such as healing/buffing enemies or spawning additional enemies, but can be seized to turn them over to your side, after which the buildings will use their abilities to support you instead.
Cursed Treasure 2 also reprises the first game's tower placing and upgrading system, featuring three basic tower types - Dens, Crypts, and Temples - that each have different methods of attack, and can only be placed on their matching terrain (Dens can only be placed on grass, Crypts can only be placed on snow, and Temples can only be placed on dry land). Initially, all three tower types cost exactly the same amount (100 gold), but each type gets slightly more expensive every time a tower of that type is placed. In combat, towers gain XP by attacking enemies. After gathering enough XP, they can be upgraded. Certain upgrades branch out to provide the ability to create different types of towers with different abilities. In addition to towers, the game includes seven spells - special abilities that give you an extra edge in the game. Three of them - Cut Down, Terror, and Meteor - are from the first game, but the other four are brand new spells that are more powerful but require a rarer currency.
Additionally, the game contains an overlying XP system - the player gains XP after the completion of a level (even if the level was lost) or upon completing any of the games Achievements, with more XP being rewarded for attaining a higher rank on a level. After gaining enough XP, the player will rank up and earn points that can be spent on game upgrades that make the player's towers and abilities more powerful. All upgrades are divided equally among the three evil races that you control (Orcs, Undead and Demons), and spending points on a specific upgrade will also increase a general statistic that the respective race is responsible for, for all towers in the game.
The game can also be played in the alternative Night Mode, where towers can only be built in the areas illuminated by the cave, seized buildings and other towers that have already been built. Night Mode becomes available for all missions in an area after the third mission has been won. After beating the game's final level, the opportunity to try to complete every single level in both modes to earn 3 stars, gives Cursed Treasure 2 immense replay value.
