Cons
Con Game controls are a bit tricky in the beginning
The game controls themselfes are a bit tricky in the start, but is a thing that, if one cares to learn, will stick to the backbone rather quickly.
Con Singleplayer only
Unfortunately, this game is a Singleplayer only game, seeing as it is turn-based, and having to wait for everyone else to finish their turn everytime you take a step is quite bothersome.
Con Limited starting characters
Starting characters are limited and random, which can be frustrating, especially when the game is centered around restarting many, many times.
Con No roguelite features
Pixel Heroes subscribes to Roguelike rules where there is zero carry over from previous playthroughs. When compared to the small amount of progression seen in Roguelites this may be a turn off for some users.
Con Status effects overpowered
Status effects have too much of an advantage over the player, which means a focus has to be on countering them, leaving other elements to not be focused on due to being under-powered in comparison.
