Pros
Pro Simple controls
All one needs to do is control their block (character), which is simple enough to do by using the direction buttons.
Pro Interesting mix of match three and RPG
Players are in a traditional RPG world and do level up characters as they would in an RPG but the main gameplay mechanic is match three where players line up their troops against an opposing team doing the same. There is also defensive aspects to the field, so it is a bit more involved than a traditional match 3 game.
Pro Lengthy campaign
M&M Clash of Heroes has a lengthy campaign that will last around 24 hours of play, which for a puzzle focused game is pretty good.
Pro Beautiful graphics
The graphics have been upgraded for the PC version and they look great. All pixel art now in HD with bright colors and fantastic character designs.
Pro Local and online mutiplayer
New to the PC and console editions (as apposed to the DS title) there is now 4 player multiplayer that can be played locally and online.
Cons
Con Easy to die
The point of the game is to dodge falling blocks to not get smashed, which seems simple enough but it is too easy to die as even touching falling blocks will cause death, even if they would not have smashed you.
Con Writing comes off as a bit childish
While the original target of the game may have been young adults or children due to its release on the DS (a mainstay of gaming for kids) the writing shows its roots and may come off as a bit childish.
