Specs
Ranked in these QuestionsQuestion Ranking
Pros
Pro Large community
A lot of people play the game, so it's easy to find matches at any time.
Pro Constant Updates
So you wouldn't get bored playing it.
Pro The most popular MOBA game
It's the most popular MOBA game but only in Souteast Asia since a majority of ML players don't have phones. Outside those areas though, it struggles to fight with Leauge of Legends & Dota 2
Pro Great controls
The game has very good control. Auto targeting or manual. If auto then you can chose the one with the lowest health or the closest to your hero.
Pro 80+ heroes to choose from
There are a number of well-balanced heroes and items to choose from.
Pro Nice ranking system
So nice, that you can get to the highest rank with the first hero you receive.
Pro Simplicity
Horrible graphics are pretty.
Pro New heroes every 2 weeks
Heroes are released pretty quickly every month weeks — there have been new heroes like Atlas, Wanwan as of March 2020 but every new hero seems like a ripoff of some other popular PC moba games like League of Legends and Dota 2
Pro Balanced gameplay
Most games are very close. There are no champions that are "broken", and matchups place you with and against players of equal skill levels. (This is sarcasm)(All the heroes are broken)
Pro Epic
White tiger.
Pro Compelling events make the story interesting
The power struggle between gangs has resulted in the death of your father. You have flown from Hong Kong to avenge your father's death. The missions vary, and all could be plausible making it easy to get lost in the story.
Pro Local multiplayer is more fun than you'd think
The local multiplayer takes advantage of this open-world game in the best ways possible. You can challenge another player to different activities - including Death Races (last alive or first to the finish wins), Stash Dash (get to a delivery van first and make deliveries while the other player tries to stop you), Liberty City Survivor (1v1 battle against your opponent with many police around), and Defend the Base (co-operatively protect targets from incoming bad guys).
Pro Decent graphics
The graphics and lighting effects have been improved over the original version (on the Nintendo DS) to a point where they're good enough for modern mobile gaming.
Pro Controller support for improved controls
GTA: Chinatown Wars has built in controller support which means it is compatible with the Google Nexus Player as well as the Amazon Fire TV. This means you can play it on your phone/tablet with a Bluetooth controller, or on an Android console on the big-screen TV with a Bluetooth controller for an even more console-like feeling.
Note: not all Bluetooth controllers are supported
Cons
Con Horrible chat
Players advertising their channels and baiting with "free skins".
Con Bad matchmaking and Equally bad credit system
The matchmaking of this game itself causes many rage quits in game be it any tier. You can't play to your full potential more than half of the time because either your teammates are cancer noobs or pros carrying the whole game and trolling others. Then if someone played so bad that they deserve to be punished the game hardly punishes them. the punishment system is extremely bad but the developers never pay attention to it
Con Rude players community
Players often insult each other in the battle chat. Most the time so many words are being censored that you only see asterisks.
Con Too much lag
Although the developers are trying hard at every patch to fix the lag and the lag spikes, it remains a major problem, leading to AFK players.
Con Has players that know what is better for the games
Some players in the community act like they know what is the best. All developer's actions are WRONG because they're not following what-is-the-best for player. Skin stat boost? You can see how many kids are playing this game.
Con Bullshit ranking system
Loose a star loose a rank, credits to stupid elementary players and stupid developers.
Con Skins boost stats
You can have stat bonuses if you buy a skin with real money, but the bonuses can be considered negligible (e.g. +8 Physical Atk for Assassins/Fighter/Marksman, +8 Magic Power for Mages, and +100 HP for tanks).
Con Map hack bug
Developers focus more on getting money than fixing this bug.
Con Membership advantage
The Starlight Members in the game usually always win not for skills but rather "Pay-to-win".
Con Stun - disable meta game
Most heroes have stuns and disables, which makes the gameplay challenging. Too many stuns doesn't allow players to show their full skill-play since after the 3 sec stuns there are very few ways to escape and probably leads to an instadeath.
Con Controls on touchscreen are not that good
Driving can be pretty difficult with the touch screen controls, though there are two different settings, so one may work better than the other.
Con Not an original game
While not a con for everybody, this game has virtually nothing new about it. It was originally launched for the PSP (PlayStation Personal) and Nintendo DS (dual screen - new generation of GameBoy). The tutorial is borrowed from the PSP version, while it retains the mini games from the DS version.
