Pro Plays like original with more portraits available for PCs and the Black Pits arena combat module
Plays just like the original game with the same hidden treasures. When creating PCs, you have more available portraits to choose from. Black Pits Arena combat module is awesome, but gets really deadly in the later rounds.
Cons
Con The control scheme does not translate well to touch interfaces
For a game that was originally designed to be played with 14 physical buttons it can be difficult to translate that to a touch screen interface. Sadly that show when trying to play on a tablet or phone.
Con Modded original can offer better experience
Depending on if one want to go through the trouble, but modding the original game can offer a better experience over this enhanced edition.
