Pros

A detailed, colorful and varied aesthetic throughout the game. Ships, menus, and cut-scenes are all beautifully made.
Pro Offers a great sense of humor, with a nod to many sci-fi classics
A lot of references to Star Trek and other sci-fi shows can be seen in dialogue and other aspects of the game.
Pro Very in-depth starship management, where you can customize your ship how you like
You get to decide which components go where, which crew members to assign where, etc.
Pro Frantic mini-game combat that compartmentalizes the action quite well
Star Command relies heavily on minigames and time management based gameplay.
Pro Challenging and fun
For what is a 20 year old game to still hold in gameplay, story and presentation is quite a feat and an enjoyable one at that.
Pro Great remake
The newly added HD graphics show that much time was spent creating a fantastic remake of what was a very iconic game.
Pro Controller support
Another World features controller support for MOGA devices as well as the Xperia Play.
Cons
Con Not free
Con Unstable
The game might crash often so save often.
Con Game gets repetitive quickly
Since the game is admittedly unfinished, the campaign is quite short and there's not really much to do besides ship combat. Many planets can't be explored and there's no real ending, you just start all over again with the same story.
Con Incomplete game
The developers themselves have said that the game is about 30% of what they envisioned.
Con Some issues with the control scheme
Touch controls for movements such as jump can be hard to pull off as the swipe gesture needs to be very exact.
