Pros
Pro Offline single player gameplay is great for players that don't always have an available internet connection
For players without internet or those just wanting to play without the interference of others, Galaxy on Fire 2 HD is a single player only game. Galaxy on Fire uses a few different types of game play, story-driven, mission-based and sandbox modes allow you the player to be in control of how you play the game.
Pro Expansive game universe where you get to explore many different star systems
Galaxy on Fire 2 HD has a huge expansive game universe. With over 30 different systems of stars, planets and space station, you will explore and adventure all over the galaxy.
Pro Nice graphics and music
The graphics and music are very well done. The music is slightly dynamic in that there are different scores that play depending on what's going on in the game. The graphics for this were good even before the update and are even better since it was updated. Many have said they are nearly 'console quality' and they are right. The graphics are actually better than a lot of console games out there and even better than a few PC ones.
Pro Engaging storyline
A really well done storyline with great depth and various conversation options, even though it is a bit linear.
Pro Closest thing you'll get to a space engineer style PVP game
This game could put stuff on PC to shame.
Pro Free to play, no ads, no micro transactions
You can buy expansion packs giving two additional storylines (also including new ships, weapons, systems...), definitely worth the money.
Pro Updated HD Graphics over first title allows the game to shine on modern HD devices
All of the graphical textures and effects have been updated and reworked from the original game Galaxy on Fire. Including highly detailed 3D models and stunning specialFX, Galaxy on Fire 2 HD graphics are optimized for Android devices and provide beautiful visuals.

Pro Many different types of missions
Pro Great combat system and challenging game
Pro Longevity through multiple playthroughs thanks to the sheer amount of text and choices to be found in the game
The games story is pretty deep and the text that can be found within that, tells it will take multiple playthroughs to see it all, making for not only a good reason to play many times, but creates the feeling of a very deep universe.
Pro Many mods
You can find many community-created mods that improve the game.
Pro Gameplay holds up well
For what is now an eleven year old game, the classic Bioware RPG game mechanics such as branching dialog and turn based battles similar to a CRPG (where the player must pause the gameplay in order to choose their commands to then un-pause in order to watch their chosen strategy play out) hold up well.
Pro Engaging story thanks to the superb writing
Being a role playing game, KotOR has a pretty long story that the player feels connected to that luckily was written well, making for a good story that is very engaging.
Pro Handles Star Wars license well
Seeing things like Jedi vs Sith and politics in the game that are now staples of the newer movies helps to feel as though the game fits into the cannon quite well. With so many movie license games in the past being quick cash-ins it is great to see the Star Wars license used in a manner that fits with the cannon and of high quality development.
Cons
Con Includes in-app purchases
Galaxy on Fire 2 HD has included in-app purchases that range from $0.99 - $51.82 per item. However, for the base game, which is free, you don't actually have to make any purchases at all. Same for any of the expansions you choose to purchase, which aren't that expensive at all. They add entirely new stories to the game and all of them are under $7 each. There is a combo of Valkyrie & Supernova which is about $9 but it's two expansions not just 1. Any other in-game purchases are completely optional. You don't need them to enjoy the game.

Con No multiplayer

Con Game takes up a lot of storage space
