Pros
Pro Constantly suprising
The game constantly changes. There are no physics or logic in this game, anything can or will change abruptly, which keeps the player on their toes, just to see what can happen next.
Pro Simple character creation with different classes
There are a few different classes available at character creation, each one has it's own abilities that are different from the others. Creating one is quite simple, which makes for a fast way to get into the game and start playing.
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 Very difficult
The gameplay is extremely tough in this game. Just about anything can and will kill you. Meant more for people who love a challenge, only the most dedicated will have the best of times with no frustrations.
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.
