Cons
Con On screen thumb control has permanent placement
The thumb stick placement on screen does not follow around the users thumb b y where they touch the screen but is static in one place.
Con Limited end-game content
Once you have all the classes and defeated the final boss multiple times, the only you can do is go to the colosseum. The story is good but its kinda short. Sure you can try different builds but you get bored after a while. Nonetheless, i really enjoyed this game, but was sad after i finished it cuz there was nothing left to do.
Con Level recommendations for stages are not always accurate
Even though a level may say its best to be a certain character level , lets say 29, it often happens that the player needs to be a lot higher in order to actually win the stage.
