Cons
Con Advertisements during gameplay sequences
There are large advertisements that pop up throughout the games menus and even right before boss fights.
Con In app purchases
Any free to play game needs a way to make money and Dungeon Quest is no different. There are many items that one can purchase that are not too egregious such as cosmetic items like pets, but considering many of the in app purchases are temporary stat boosts and potions and only there as way to make the game easier, one has to wonder if the game was designed to be unfairly balanced in order to earn more money.
While Dungeon Quests in app purchases do not go as high as some games (ranging from $0.99-$19.99) the highest priced is still for in game currency that can be purchased over and over again, in turn making the cost of this game essentially limitless.
Con High price
Like all Square Enix games on Android, The World Ends With You asks a very high price for what is essentially an old game. Though it does seem like at least a little bit of work was put into this port as the graphics are redone in HD and gameplay has been adjusted for a single screen.
Con Contains in app purchases
Despite being a $17.99 upfront paid game there are also in app purchases that are $0.99 an item.
