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 that allow the player to have full control
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 Extremely large playable universe where you can spent plenty of time exploring
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 Free demo mode lets anyone check out the game without any commitment
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.
Pro Immersive mode
DuckTales: Remastered features immersive mode support for full screen gameplay on hardware with software navigation buttons.
Pro Non linear gameplay with branching paths and hidden areas
The original DuckTales for the NES was created with the MegaMan engine by the main MegaMan design team. This allowed for a non linear gameplay design as well as many hidden areas, paths and treasures. The HD remakes still has all of this included in the game.
Pro Plenty of nostalgia for 80's kids
One of the main staples of having grown up in the 80's was Disney's after school cartoons. One of the more popular cartoons in this series was DuckTales, a tale about a rich uncle and his three nephews. To capitalize on the cartoons popularity Capcom created a platformer game from the franchise for the Nintendo Entertainment System. Unlike a lot of branded games of the time (E.T, Goonies) DuckTales turned out to be a very good game. One that just about anyone who grew up in the 80's should be familiar with, and even if not is at least familiar with the cartoon itself.
So now that 80's children have grown up and have jobs and money, the current trend is for companies to capitalize on that nostalgia. DuckTales: Remastered is an effort in that direction that sees the original NES title remastered with HD graphics and released on every platform known to man.
Pro HID controller support
DuckTales: Remastered has built in HID bluetooth controller support. This makes for a great game to play on tablets and Android box tops for the TV.
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 Expensive
While some people may not agree, to see a 2 year old remastered port of a port be released at a price point of $9.99, the price is not really justified. While it is great to see more up front priced console quality games released for Android, 2 year old ports priced at premium prices (for the platform in comparison to other titles) is only showing Disney's greed at taking advantage of the fact that there are so few currently.
