Pro Fantastic touch screen controls that are responsive and easy to use
The touch screen controls in Wayward Souls handle beautifully, something many mobile games struggle with but work quite well here making for an enjoyable control experience.
Pro Easily played offline thanks to the game not needing an internet connection once installed
Wayward Souls allows for complete offline play, making for a good game to be played when there is no internet connection.
Pro No in-app-purchases
Entire game is available for one up front purchase.
Pro Playable in portrait or landscape mode
Transitions smoothly between the two. It's helpful for navigating or backtracking across a level to orient the screen depending on your direction of travel.
Pro 16-bit graphics
Much nostalgia - but this also lowers the bar for required specs, meaning your old Galaxy S or whatever can run it.
Cons
Con Can feel repetitive
Even though it is by design, having to repeat many of the same areas (despite being randomly generated) feels repetitive after a while, which can lead to boredom while playing. So it is up to the player how soon they will tire.
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.
