Pros, Cons & Final Judgment

Breaking down Deadly Chambers, you really see just how much of a mixed bag it is: on the positive side, it's a smooth shooter with support for control and play on just about any handset. Unfortunately, in trying to make the game playable by everyone, they wound up with broken control schemes and bland, unfulfilling gameplay. Battery Powered would've been better off choosing a few target handsets with the hardware they needed and really polishing the game instead of going for the widest release possible.
