Cons
Con Subscription required for decent gameplay
You need to pay $9.99 for monthly subscription to enjoy it to the fullest.
Con Has in-app-purchases
Vendetta Online is free-to-play but does have in-app-purchases that range from $0.99 - $99.99 per item.
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.
Con The game is too short
The base game only has ten levels that can be completed within 20 minutes.
