Pros
Pro Simple rules but plenty of strategy to be found
The rules of the game are pretty easy to learn but it is underlying strategy of what decks to build and what playstyles to use that make the game so strategic.
Pro Unique idea for game mechanics
No mana, play two cards per turn to level them up and increase their power, every four turns the deck is reshuffled to include the leveled up cards.
Pro Active and awesome community
Small community, but very active and dedicated to the survival of this game.
Pro Cross platform accounts
SolForge has cross platform accounts, making it easy for users to load up the game on their preferred device and log into their account with all of their progress.
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 Developer has given up
Almost shut down 3 months ago, now the guy running the community is the only one doing anything
Con Few players
Very few play this game.
Con May feel pay to win
Collecting cards in the game can be difficult as no single card can be purchases, you can only get cards in packs that either cost real money or earned in game currency, which takes time and grinding to earn. This is exasperated by the fact that there is no secondary market where people can sell cards.
Con Somewhat buggy
Crashes can happen while playing, while not a huge deal they can be annoying.
