Pros
Pro Evenly balanced RTS gameplay
The balancing of the gameplay works out quite well wherein the game can be tough if too many mistakes are made, but if played correctly works quite well. Starting out it can be a little easy but the game does ramp up to a challenging pace.
The pacing of each side sending out different troops allows for a game that the player needs to constantly be on their toes in order to counter what the other player is doing. In effect, real-time strategy working as intended.
Pro Google account multiplayer log-in
Players can log in with their Google accounts with a single click in order to play the online multiplayer.

Every day the game gives the player 10 free onions (game currency) as well as offers another 10 for watching a video advertisement. These can add up after a couple of day allowing the user to purchase more units for the 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 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 Game opens upside down
The game opens in landscape but does so upside down, though it does correct itself shortly after opening.
Con Not enough players for multiplayer
It is extremely difficult to find an online match in the game due to the low amount of users playing the game.
Con In-game currency purchased through in-app purchase
The game does use in-game currency for purchasing new units to pay the game with though it does appear to evenly reward the currency for just playing. Of course the purchased in game currency could at first give a leg up to multiplayer players who just started.
Con In game advertisements
The default in game advertisements pop up in between rounds of play, so are not too intrusive but are there. They can be removed with a single in app purchase of $0.99.
Con Somewhat buggy
Crashes can happen while playing, while not a huge deal they can be annoying.
