Pros
Pro Individual storylines
This game is made for co-op, definitely not single player. Each player has their own storylines though (on top of the main quests) that are private to them. Sometimes players can have secret quests that are competing. How much information you choose to share with your allies is up to you. This style of play is only possible because of the cell phone controller mode.
Pro Fun turn based combat
Combat is turn based, with players taking their turn simultaneously. This allows for more strategy than the normal button mash style of ARPGs. It also makes it more accessible to newer gamers.
Pro Cell phone controller
Instead of pausing the game for everyone while you adjust your character, this can all be done on your phone thus allowing the game play to continue. You also don't have to have multiple controllers on hand as anyone can download the app to their phone and are ready to play.
Pro Easy start-up
Only one person needs to own the game, and players go to a website - no need to download any apps. Authentication is a 4 letter code, then you're in and can pick your name. The best part is that it feels super responsive and doesn't lag like other web based games.
Pro Open-ended group game
The open-ended questions allow for fun group dynamics, and you can make your own answers instead of having to pick from pre-made answers.
Cons
Con Cellphone connection drops
The phone connection constantly drops, making the game barely playable, which is frustrating.
