Review Candidate: Arcane Legends

Arcane Legends by Spacetime Studios:
http://www.arcanelegendsgame.com/

Pros:

  • Very easy to pick up and play.
  • Deep combat gameplay (not just auto-attack) compared to other mobile games.
  • Pet system adds some depth to the game experience.
  • Attractive, stylized mobile graphics.
  • Synchronous, cross-platform (iOS, Android, browser, client) multiplayer.

Cons:

  • Lacks the amount of content of a "full" PC MMO.
  • Weak character customization.
  • Weak social features.
  • Limited PVP options (recently added by the developer).
  • Nothing innovative when it comes to monetization (mostly time-limited boosts).
  • Developer is already fairly successful and game is already out for iOS and Android, they may be more inclined to stay independent.
