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 Traditional fantasy fans may find the game daunting or too dark
Unlike most CRPG games the fantasy setting is not very Tolkeinesque, there are no dwarves or elves to be seen. All of the traditional fantasy tropes will not be found here as the game focuses on a much darker setting with undead and other scarier creatures. This may not be intriguing to some and too dark a game for those that normally enjoy the CRPG genre.
