Cons
Con Not a free software
There are some libre alternatives.
Con Not much replay value
Once one has beaten the game, there is not much incentive to play again.
Con Shop is difficult to navigate
When using the shop to purchase items, the windows overlap each other, which forces constant tapping back in forth from the players inventory to the shops. For characters that are highly dependent on the shop, this can become irritating fast.
