    PROS: Cartoon graphics and color selection is very professionally done. The overall story is silly and cute. Musical scores are joyful even if a little cliché. The comedy is child friendly.
    CONS: Daily rewards systems shouldn't exist in paid games. The hero’s running and fighting portion is frustratingly dull. Waiting or paying to progress is an unfair game mechanic. There are too few quests and each with little replayability.
