Pros
Pro Anticipation-building, reaction-based gameplay requires quick reflexes in order to succeed
The game builds anticipation through creating a classic cowboy showdown by requiring quick reflexes to win each encounter. It's all done very intuitively - first person to tap the screen after the signal wins.
Pro Multiplayer is not a prerequisite as there is an included single player mode for practice or just fun
In the single player mode the payer has shoot outs with 10 different AI opponents, which feels more like playing against a clock than playing against an unpredictable opponent.
Pro Fair amount of replayability thanks to differing timers before you shoot
The announced time for the user to draw their gun (to shoot their opponent) varies, making for a good bit of replayability in that each shoot out is different every time.
Pro Asynchronous online play
Asynchronous online play allows for the player to get matched up against a friend or random opponent.
Pro Bases
Bases are permanent cards on the playing field that each player needs to try and destroy but giving that there is a choice each turn to hit a base or the players ships, it becomes a juggling act of what takes priority to destroy.
Pro Unpredictable
There is no way for the player to know what will be in their hand or what they will eventually be able to purchase, making for every game being unpredictable.
Pro Pass and play multiplayer on a single device
Players can play a multiplayer game locally using a single device by passing the device between the two players for each ones turn. This makes for an easy way to duel when only one device is around.
Pro Single player mode
There is an included single player mode where the player faces off against the CPU.
Cons
Con Has fullscreen advertisements
Fullscreen advertisements pop up on screen after every round of gameplay.
Con Design is lacking
More thought, design and production value could have been added to the game to give it a better polished feel, sadly it is not the case as most aspects pass as just serviceable.
