Pros
Pro Evenly balanced RTS gameplay
The balancing of the gameplay works out quite well wherein the game can be tough if too many mistakes are made, but if played correctly works quite well. Starting out it can be a little easy but the game does ramp up to a challenging pace.
The pacing of each side sending out different troops allows for a game that the player needs to constantly be on their toes in order to counter what the other player is doing. In effect, real-time strategy working as intended.
Pro Google account multiplayer log-in
Players can log in with their Google accounts with a single click in order to play the online multiplayer.
Pro Immersive mode
Siege Commander utilizes immersive mode, an Android OS feature that allows for full screen gaming on devices that use software navigation keys on Android 4.4+.
Pro Single player and online multiplayer
There are single player and multiplayer modes. The single player consists of 20 individual missions and the multiplayer consists of quick matches with online opponents.
Pro 18 available units with 20 levels
There is currently 18 available units to use in game (with more promised in future updates) ranging from close range fighters, ranged attackers and defensive units. All can be purchased with the in-game currency earned in game. All 18 units can be used in the 20 available levels, making for a pretty good variety of situations of play.
Pro Free in-game currency
Every day the game gives the player 10 free onions (game currency) as well as offers another 10 for watching a video advertisement. These can add up after a couple of day allowing the user to purchase more units for the game.
Pro Addictively challenging gameplay where "just one more game" is a constant
You will die, a lot, and that is the point. The game is challenging, but fair. It is as much about memorization as it is about precision of movement. This makes for a game that needs to be practiced, quite a bit, which should appeal to those who enjoy working for their achievements.
Pro Aggressive aesthetic that forces the player to adapt to succeed, which keeps the gameplay interesting
The visual design of the game consists of basic geometric shapes in bright colors that turn and blink, all while you are trying to stay focused on a little triangle in the middle. This can be distracting and is by design in order to try to trip up the player in their goal of continuing as long as they can.
Pro Great soundtrack that complements the gameplay perfectly
The soundtrack is done by BossFightSwe, who is very well known for their video game sounds.
Cons
Con Game opens upside down
The game opens in landscape but does so upside down, though it does correct itself shortly after opening.
Con Not enough players for multiplayer
It is extremely difficult to find an online match in the game due to the low amount of users playing the game.
Con In-game currency purchased through in-app purchase
The game does use in-game currency for purchasing new units to pay the game with though it does appear to evenly reward the currency for just playing. Of course the purchased in game currency could at first give a leg up to multiplayer players who just started.
Con In game advertisements
The default in game advertisements pop up in between rounds of play, so are not too intrusive but are there. They can be removed with a single in app purchase of $0.99.
Con May cause nausea
The fast spinning graphics could cause some people a bit of nausea.
