Pro Fully supports all aspect ratios, so no worry about if the game fits your devices screen in full
Some games do not fully adapt to the wide range of aspect ratios available on Android devices (the 4:3 screen on the Nexus 9 being a standout with this issue) which leads to letterboxing of some kind. Sproggiwood does not have this issue as it support all aspect ratios.
Cons
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.
Con No immersive mode
There is no immersive mode in the game which means the navigation bar will show taking up screen real estate on devices that do not have hardware navigation buttons.
Con Some may consider it expensive
Sproggiwood is priced at $10, which some may consider a high price point for mobile, though the game is a full PC title and priced $5 under the PC cost. A demo would have been a good option to try the game out, but sadly there is none available.
