Cons
Con Doesn't have much longevity
The entire game is based around combat, which works in small doses. For longer playtimes though, it can get pretty repetitive. That goes for the extra content unlocked through the in-app purchase as well - it's more of the same in new levels.
Con Free gameplay is limited to ten levels
The gameplay is free up to the tenth level, at that point an in app purchase has to be made of which there are three depending on how much content you want. $3 unlocks the rest of the levels, while $4 nets you more in-game items, and $5 gets you everything available as well as the Dark Harvest game mode.
Con Limited amount of devices the game will run on
Warner Bros. International Enterprises has limited the amount of devices that the game can run on, most likely to ensure that the game will run at an acceptable level.
Con Uses a lot of RAM
Being that this is a port of a console game, there can be quite a bit of lag as most Android devices do not have enough GPU RAM to play the game smoothly.
