Cons
Con Choices don't matter
In each adventure, you have no real foreknowledge of the map layouts and limited time. You can select an alternate path on a second playthrough, then you'll have seen it all, but which way you go really matters very little in the end. Between adventures, you can level up various indicators, and select a new crew, but they won't have much impact on the final product either.
Con Low replayability
Con Boring combat
After a handful of games, every battle will be the same.
Con Buggy and crashes
There are quite a few graphical bugs in the game as well as a lack of stability.
