Pros
Cons
Con Valuable features only exist thanks to user-created plugins
If you want pixel perfect movement, collision detection, lighting effects, non-grid mapping, resolution changes, an options menu, graphical changes to key components like the menu and the combat system, in-game item placement, multiple tileset support, grid size changes, changing animation frame counts, and so much more all must be done by plugin, rather than being offered as an option out of the box.
Con No engine-based lighting
Lights and shadows must be "faked" in game using overlays of shadow and lighting graphics, rather than a true lighting engine. This can cause perspective issues with in-game lighting. There are some lighting and overlay plugins that exist, but none of them are native to the engine, and due to engine limitations, they may not satisfy what you're needing.
