Pro Gold Standard for roguelikes
The controls and replayability have been refined over the years. Whether the player chooses to play with Tiles (graphics) or console (ASCII) the game works well even when choosing online or offline play. Either way there is just enough interface to play the game.
Cons
Con Single player puzzles are frustrating
Many of the single player campaigns are difficult due to frustrating puzzles that can take many tries to complete. As much as it is nice to have a single player campaign the real meat of the game is meant to be in the multiplayer, which shows in the design of these single player missions.
Con Have to fiddle with controls
Being that the game uses an emulated keyboard on screen it works best on tablet, though is not really the preferred method (but is the only one) since it takes up screen space.
