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 Hours of content just in the main quest alone gives the player plenty to do
For just the medium difficulty setting there is hours upon hours of content, and that's even if you skip all the side quests and just focus on the main story. Plus there are two harder difficulties to try and in the near future a tool will come out which will let you build your own adventures as well as play other people's.
Pro Pleasing graphics that show off a well designed and polished game
The graphics look nice and you can tell time has been put into designing them. While not the most flashy, there is a certain style to the whole game that makes for a very cohesive experience.
Pro Pick up from your last save, no matter the device you are using, thanks to the built in cloud saving
Playable on Android, iOS and PC you're able to transfer the one game between multiple devices (on same or different operating systems) and take it with you anywhere you go. with a Butterscotch ID (the devs self implemented cloud save system).
Pro Excellent progression system where you never feel like you are grinding too much
Progression never feels sluggish or rushed, everything has a good pace to it from the farming of materials and grinding out the various components for the tons of items, to the incredibly unique combat/interaction system, it all blends well into a long gaming experience.
Pro Hundreds items to craft in a deep and varied crafting system that will keep the user busy for hours and hours
There are over 500 items that can be crafted in the game, giving the player quite a lot to experiment with and explore when it comes to crafting items.
Pro Great soundtrack that suits the humor and setting of the game quite well
A great mix of chill and energized music, that fits the setting of the game at all times. A pleasure to listen to on its own as well.
Pro Multiple game modes
Once you've finished the basic mode there's also a challenging and insane mode for replayability.
Pro Good writing
You don't need to read everything to enjoy the game but the writing is very good and really adds to the enjoyment.
Pro Lots of entertaining pop-culture references
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 Cloud saves not through Google services
An extra account will need to be used in order to take advantage of the cloud saving as it does not work with Googles solution to cloud saves. While this does allow for the cloud saves to work cross platform, people may not want to take the extra step to make a new account with Butterscotch Shenanigans.
