Pros
Pro Optional modes for extended gameplay
Along with the main story mode (which is the meat of the game) there are optional modes of play such as Endurance mode and a way to access all mini-games found in the story mode to be played at ones convenience. This extends the gameplay by allowing the user access to modes that are quicker in play or a side distraction to the main story.
Pro Deep gameplay for a match-3 game
The RPG mechanics add a lot of depth to the play as the player is able to not only upgrade their player but to collect new weapons and armor which requires some thinking and constant management of their player.
Pro Easily play multiplayer online
Through asynchronous play users can play their friends or random people easily as each can take their turn when they want, which is convenient for a mobile device that is often not used for hours on end.
Cons
Con No multiplayer
A match 3 game that focuses on fighting opponents is perfect for a multiplayer game but sadly there is no multiplayer available, locally or online.
Con Broken and not supported
The android version keeps crashing and not saving progress.
Con Fun for a few days, but then gets boring and tedious, grinding match-3 battles to try and gather traitstones, souls and other elements needed to gain levels / strength.
Con No real PvP
Games like this that you don't fight real players in PvP are bad.
Con Abnormous AI luck
After the first levels, AI luck becomes a sadistic tool to let you waste your precious time. Nothing counts, troops, strategy are almost 0. It's a slot machine.
