Pros
Pro Strategic word based gameplay
Wordbase plays more like a game of chess than a conventional word game. With each player having a base at each end of the board, the goal is to get to the other side first with words on the board. Thought the most interesting part is that players can cut off the others line of words by intersecting them which results in cutting off the players progress above the intersection..
Pro Free to try with a single in app purchase for the full game
Wordbase is free to download and play but does include a solitary in app purchase of $2.99 to receive the full content of the game.
Pro Original take on word based gaming
Unlike most word based mobile games Wordbase is not a clone of someone else's game mechanics.
Pro Great atmosphere
Delver has a simplistic, blocky, yet colorful and friendly aesthetic combined with inviting music and detailed sound design.
Pro Mods

Each and every playthrough has randomly generated dungeons, which keeps the game feeling fresh.
Cons
Con In game dictionary is hit or miss
Wordbase could use a better dictionary as many words that exist the game does not allow to be played and some word it allows to be played are not real words.
Con Loot description hidden underneath finger
Loot that is picked up in game has a description box that gets hidden underneath the players finger, making it difficult to tell what was just picked up.
