Pros
Pro Amusing Star Wars themed story to back up the FTP gameplay
Unlike other free to play base games SWC has a story to give reason to what one is doing in the game and allows for one to get a sense of a progressing universe while playing.
Pro Fun incremental gameplay
Much like other free-to-play base building games, Star Wars: Commander features gameplay where the player is tasked with slowly building up their base while also building defenses and an army. It is through playing the game in small increments that one can do this (unless they pay real money to unlock the timers or purchase more resources) as there are timers and limited resources. This makes for a game that one can pay in bits throughout the day to slowly become more and more powerful.
Pro Enjoyable music that does not get old
The songs within are catchy and fun and do not tire the listener, which is good for extended play sessions.
Pro Fun interactive music component
The player collects monsters that can be placed on islands, where in different islands can be purchased and used to store monsters. The monsters on those islands sing, which effects the tone of the background song. Each monster can be muted individually, which then can change the tone of the song depending on which monsters are muted. While not a main gameplay mechanic or anything the way a player can effect each islands music is an entertaining and fun component.
Pro Cute and entertaining monsters
The main goal of the game is to collect all of the different available monsters, of which there are tons, with each having a cute but ugly look to them with each having their own tune to add to the music of an island.
Pro Upgrades go on forever
The game is consistently upgraded, so even for people that rush through the game and collect all the available monsters (which is pretty time consuming to do) the devs add in more content in a consistent manner that adds even more monsters and islands to collect. Basically it is an ever expanding game.
Cons
Con Tries to coerce people into paying real money in order to unhobble the gameplay
Just as any FTP game there are many timers and paywalls to be seen here, which are used in order to get a continuous stream of money from the players. Those that pay will have an easier time at the game by being able to upgrade easier and play more often.
Con Prone to crashing after using the in-game store
For those that do use the in-game store there is a problem where the game crashes after long sessions in the store, which can be frustrating.
