Pro Great artillery style gameplay with many strategic elements added on top in order to give a more deep experience
At its core, Worms 3 is still the same fun gameplay found in all the previous incarnations of the Worms franchise. However, Worms 3 has added two new gameplay elements that increase the amount of strategy in the game, squads and cards. Squads gives individual worms different advantages/disadvantages such as speed or increased damage and you can choose from the various worms to form your team. Cards give you boosts that you can play during your turn such as extra health or weapons.
The upgrades are also not tied to in-app-purchases. You cannot buy yourself the best upgrades and thus the game does not punish you for not buying upgrades.
Pro No game is ever a lock with the included card system mechanic
The new Worms 3 addition of a card system allows players to choose a card after their turn that will directly affect the next players turn. Making for a great mechanic that can turn the tides of a game at any point.
The cards are available for purchase through in game coins that are earned during gameplay, which is a bit of a relief that they are not available through in app purchases.
Pro Local co-op through Wi-Fi
Dungeon Hunter 4 can be played over a local Wi-Fi network in co-op play.

Combat generally feels fluid, even with multiple players and enemies on the screen. Something of an achievement for such a graphically demanding game.

Pro SHIELD games support
Dungeon Hunter 4 features SHIELD games support.
Cons
Con Paid upfront game that also contains in-app-purchases
For what is an already paid upfront game at $4.99 it also includes in-app-purchases that range from $0.99 - $6.49 per item. Luckily though the purchases are only for cosmetics, which means there is no pay-to-win mechanics here.
Con Poor auto save feature
By only saving at odd times Dungeon Hunter 4 leaves room for loss of data.
Con Hobbled gameplay to force purchase of in app purchases
By limiting the amount of potions the player is able to use and forcing an excruciatingly slow replenish time Dungeon hunter 4 has broken the core gameplay in order to force users into spending real money just to fend off these false limitations, which no matter how many times one pays will always come back. It is a never ending cycle of payment just to be able to play the game in any acceptable manner.
