Pros + Cons

 Designed for short sessions

The developers designed this game to be able to be enjoyed when only 5 minutes can be devoted to it at a time. This can be a great help to those players who don't have hours to devote to a mobile game but still want a substantial and meaningful experience.

 Will be instantly familiar to anyone who has played Pocket Legends

This game is made by the same studio behind Pocket Legends and takes many core aspects of that game and updates them. The formula that made the first one successful makes this a good choice as well.

 Plays like a classic FPS game

Core gameplay mechanics are of old-school first person shooter. Players move room to room finding objects called nodes to shoot before being allowed to leave to the next room. While trying to find the node players will of course be facing off against AI controlled enemies.
Comment

Con
 Shallow gameplay

While the story and game mechanics are serviceable one has to wonder how much better the game could have been if more attention was focused on these areas during development.

Comment

Comment

Pro
 As close to Nintendo quality as Android will get until Nintendo releases mobile games

Seabeard is very similar in style to famous Nintendo games such as Animal Crossing or Fantasy Life. A life adventure game where players can play at their own pace and do as much or as little as they like.
Comment

Con
 Freemium

Almost every aspect of the game has some kind of timer attached to it. They of course can be paid to be skipped, but considering how many there are it will deplete the in game earned currency very fast. This of course leads to players having to purchase more in game currency if they want to play at a pace considered normal for console games.
