Pro Controller support
Pro Fully supports all aspect ratios, so no worry about if the game fits your devices screen in full
Some games do not fully adapt to the wide range of aspect ratios available on Android devices (the 4:3 screen on the Nexus 9 being a standout with this issue) which leads to letterboxing of some kind. Sproggiwood does not have this issue as it support all aspect ratios.
Pro Tilesets and ASCII modes
There are two available tilesets (graphics) for the game as well as an ASCII mode. This gives the player a few choices as to how they would like their game to look and the additional ASCII mode gives the feeling of playing the original game this was forked from, for the purists.
Pro Fork of the original NetHack
UnNetHack is a fork of the original 1987 NetHack, a famous game for its time. For those familiar with the original there will be a good sense of nostalgia while playing.
Cons
Con No immersive mode
There is no immersive mode in the game which means the navigation bar will show taking up screen real estate on devices that do not have hardware navigation buttons.
Con Some may consider it expensive
Sproggiwood is priced at $10, which some may consider a high price point for mobile, though the game is a full PC title and priced $5 under the PC cost. A demo would have been a good option to try the game out, but sadly there is none available.
Con Can be complicated to understand
Many areas of the game can be complicated to understand what they are, which can be not only intimidating in learning but also frustrating.
