Pros
Pro High level of polish and addicting gameplay
Everything about Deep Loot shows a great attention to detail that shows a high level of polish including the addicting gameplay of diving just to get a little more loot to afford a new suit that wil allow for even further diving.
Pro Fluid movement mechanics
Every movement in this game is calculated just as one would expect in a roguelike and yet the movement is so fluid that it is not even noticeable. So much so that the game controls feel more like an adventure game than a traditional roguelike.
Pro In app purchases are non obtrusive and completely optional
Unlike most titles that utilize in app purchases and in game shops Deep Loot manages to pull off the perfect balance of free gameplay and in app purchases for in game items. Not once should the player feel forced or coerced into purchasing any items in the game.
Pro Learn spells
There are magic scrolls that work once and rarer scrolls that let you learn the spell for the rest of the run.
Pro Can play for free
You can buy the premium currency, but you get enough of it through normal play that it's not required.
Pro Four character classes
One of them is a rogue, but you have to unlock it.
Pro Permanent upgrades
Each time you die or defeat a boss (every five floors) you get permanent upgrades, in the form of Runes (which you can swap out to customize your class at the start of each game) or Recipes (which you can use to craft items from materials found in-game).
Cons
Con Slow start
The game starts off slow and has a bit of a samey vibe. After about 10 or so dives the gameplay starts to pick up.
Con Has ads
You can skip them with the premium currency. But the ads are always triggered by user action, so they don't randomly interrupt your games. This means they're also technically optional, but they give you bonuses you'll probably want.
Con Mediocre translation
While the basic spelling and grammar seem correct, the writing could really be better. It's often not clear what things do, even when they're documented.
