Vendetta Online (3D Space MMO) is a massively multiplayer online space shooter that is free-to-play and has in-app-purchases that range from $0.99 - $99.99 per item.
The player takes control of a space ship in Vendetta Online where you are the captain of your ship, you fight battles in real time against other players, and spend your time mining ore from asteroids. This allows you to craft upgrades, that can then be sold across the galaxy. You can play using your skills and twitch type controls, meaning you are in total control of everything and not dependent on dice rolls for success.

Pros
Pro Extremely large playable universe
The playable area in Vendetta Online's universe is huge. It is said that in some regions of the online galaxy you could fly for weeks in the same direction, before you ever reached the end of that sector. In a space game you want to have a very large game area, it is space after all, that is infinitely explorable and gives the player unlimited ways to play the game.
Pro Cross platform support allows the player to pick up where they left off on any OS they may have the game installed on
With game clients developed for Android, iOS, Linux, Mac and Windows, you can be sure that you can play Vendetta Online on any of your devices. You could use your desktop computer when you are interested in big battles that require lots of screen space and computer power or use your tablet to mine ore and craft items when you are away from your desktop. The game runs great on mobile devices and is always being updated with new content.
Pro Good twitch controls
Vendetta Online has twitch based controls, that allow you, the captain of your ship, to be in total control of the way you fight in battles. By not relying on dice rolls or other behind the scenes decisions, VO lets the player's skill in combat determine the outcome, the more you practice the better you get.
Pro Free demo mode
Vendetta Online gives new players a free demo mode to try out the game before purchasing the full version. You are provided with eight hours to get comfortable with your new space ship and the game. After a nice tutorial section, you can choose to play in the single player sandbox or join the galaxy with all of the other VO players.
Cons
Con Cross platform play leads to mobile users having less control in PvP Mobile
Android and iOS players are all playing together with desktop PC players, which means during dog fighting sequences, the PC players have much finer grained controls over their mobile player opponents. This makes for unfair matching that can lead to mobile players loosing out more often than not if they are facing a PC player. This is also exacerbated by the fact that no one is able to know what platform an opponent may be playing on.
