Pros
Pro Console like experience
Deus Ex: The Fall feels pretty close to the real thing.
Pro High level of detail
Deus Ex: The Fall offers a high level of detail in the game. From the highly explorable areas that have many nooks and corners to discover to the level of detail of the objects in the environment.
Pro Diverse multiplayer allows you to easily play locally or online with friends
Neon Shadow supports local area network multiplayer as well as online multiplayer support for death-match play.
Pro Familiar and classic FPS and arena gameplay that is easy to understand
Core gameplay mechanics are of old-school first person shooter. Players move room to room finding objects called nodes to shoot before being allowed to leave to the next room. While trying to find the node players will of course be facing off against AI controlled enemies.
Pro Great controller support that allows a wide selection of different controllers to work
Neon Shadow has built in HID controller support, SHIELD Games support and MOGA controller support. So no matter what type of Android controller you own, it should work out of the box.
Pro Anyone can pick up the game and figure out the intuitive touch controls
There is no jump button, reload button or an interaction button, keeping the touch controls interface quite simple. Left side of the screen moves the player, right side looks around, and there is a fire button. This makes the controls simple to understand and use.
Pro Varied powerful weapons keeps the gameplay entertaining
Each weapon in game gives a sense of differentiating power. There is a good selection of guns that all have different shooting abilities and power. Each one allows the player to feel as though they are well equipped for the task at hand.
Pro Tablet split screen same device multiplayer allows 2 players to easily play on a single device
Neon Shadow allows 2 players to play multiplayer on a single tablet device using split screen. Controllers would be ideal for this.
Cons
Con Touch controls awkward for shooting
Firefights are best avoided as the shooting mechanics in the game feel awkward on a touch screen and just do not react fast enough for the gameplay.
Con Bad Gameplay
Bad gameplay on it's own but compared to how great the real Deus Ex games are it's in shambles, a disgrace to the franchise.
Con Shallow gameplay
While the story and game mechanics are serviceable one has to wonder how much better the game could have been if more attention was focused on these areas during development.
