Ranked in these QuestionsQuestion Ranking
Pros
Pro Enjoyable music that does not get old
The songs within are catchy and fun and do not tire the listener, which is good for extended play sessions.
Pro Fun interactive music component
The player collects monsters that can be placed on islands, where in different islands can be purchased and used to store monsters. The monsters on those islands sing, which effects the tone of the background song. Each monster can be muted individually, which then can change the tone of the song depending on which monsters are muted. While not a main gameplay mechanic or anything the way a player can effect each islands music is an entertaining and fun component.
Pro Cute and entertaining monsters
The main goal of the game is to collect all of the different available monsters, of which there are tons, with each having a cute but ugly look to them with each having their own tune to add to the music of an island.
Pro Upgrades go on forever
The game is consistently upgraded, so even for people that rush through the game and collect all the available monsters (which is pretty time consuming to do) the devs add in more content in a consistent manner that adds even more monsters and islands to collect. Basically it is an ever expanding game.
Pro Living world that takes place even when the player is not signed in
Even when a player is not logged into the game there is a chance that someone may attack and destroy your base. Things are happening in the world of the game even when not using it, which is not only an incentive to check into the game often and build up ones defenses but also a reason to check in to see if anything has happened. It makes for an addictive cycle of gameplay.
Pro Easy to learn with adequate tutorial
While a casual game some people may find the mechanics confusing. Luckily the game provides a pretty good tutorial that explains how to play by having the player perform the functions needed in the game before really starting to play, all while being explained by the game before the actions takes place.
Cons
Con Prone to crashing after using the in-game store
For those that do use the in-game store there is a problem where the game crashes after long sessions in the store, which can be frustrating.
Con Social functions are non-existent
There is no in-game chat for the game nor is there really any meaningful way to interact with other player other than attacking their bases. So while the game thrives on being a large multiplayer game there is just about zero interaction one can have with the other players.
