  What were they thinking... This game is unconscionably bad, a merciless perversion of the NES original. I don't even know where to begin. Unresponsive controls (On keyboard, at least), game-breaking bugs, ridiculous hitboxes... I think the worst offender has to be the arbitrary, massive increase in difficulty, though. The levels have been expanded quite a bit from their original versions, which on its own is fine -- Oh, except when you lose all your lives, (Of which there are few) and have to start ALL OVER AGAIN. Now, if this were for a legitimate reason, once again I wouldn't mind. But what's usually the cause is some instant-death bs, like having to make a very precise blind leap during an autoscrolling section, or falling to your death because the background looked like foreground, or getting crushed by a bolder because some rocks in your way blended in with the background. Best of all, this dumb glitch happens sometimes where you can't pogo anymore, which you cannot fix by changing controls mid-level. That's not allowed. So looks like it's back to the main menu for you, and back to the start of the level. God help you if you are playing on extreme, where there are no continues. Anyway, the length of these levels is compounded by an absolute deluge of lengthy cutscenes, which while charming at first, quickly wear out their welcome by virtue of being so long. They also completely disrupt the flow of your game, lulling you into a false sense of security. They hit you with one of these right at the end of the game too, at the ass end of a particularly long and grueling level, and just when you think you've FINALLY beaten the game... BOOM! You're back in and you die immediately. Time to start from the beginning. All. Over. Again. Now, some of you might be thinking "iT's JuSt OlD sChoOl. ThAt'S hOw It WoRkS." MF I am 32 years old, don't try explaining to me how old school games work. This is not even remotely similar to the original, which was an absolute classic. I could stomach the extended five levels and modified bosses, but by the end of the game it just becomes arduously long and fuck-you hard, with loads of trial and error. And that's ASSUMING the game decides to even work for that long. It completely sucked away what limited joy I was getting out of it earlier on. I don't think I've ever uninstalled a game so quickly in my life. It's a shame too, because the game has charm. The sprites and animation look incredible, and most of the old cast even reprise their VA roles. You can swim around in your money pit and buy lots of cool artwork and stuff, but none of it was worth the six and a half hours of pain I went through finishing this fucking mess. Just do yourself a favor and play the original again, if you are feeling nostalgic. It is VASTLY superior.

  EDIT August 10th 2019: DuckTales Remastered has officially been made unpurchasable through digital platforms. I'll still leave this review up in its original form for anyone to read. At the very least, I hope this game will share the same fate with Castle of Illusion and [i]hopefully[/i] come back some day. No word on that though... EDIT 2 March 4th 2020: It's back in the store, so my review is now very much outdated. With that said, I don't feel any different about the points I made in general. If things like that happen in the game industry as a whole, then I feel my point is still relevant to those games. For that reason, I'll keep this review up, but know that for this game in particular it's outdated. ----------- [i][b][u]GET IT WHILE YOU STILL CAN[/u][/b][/i] [i][b][u]GET IT WHILE YOU STILL CAN[/u][/b][/i] [i][b][u]GET IT WHILE YOU STILL CAN[/u][/b][/i] Capcom/WayForward ran the time out on their license for DuckTales Remastered, and the game will be removed on 8th of August 2019. Source from Capcom's Twitter: https://twitter.com/CapcomUSA_/status/1158797527241695233 I would write a review detailing why I like this game and why I think it's worthy of a purchase, but I don't have the time for that. This game has less than 2 days left as of writing this review, and I want to use this time to inform people about it. All I can say is that it's well made and fun. That said, something in this game industry needs to change. A great game like this is going to be lost forever because the license happened to run out. The only way that this is going to be playable is through piracy, which (obviously) is against the law. This should not be an acceptable outcome. All games, regardless of whether they're good or not, regardless if they're new or old, should be playable in some official and legal way. If the game's not old, it could still be up for sale. If it's old (like, say, NES era), why not make the game public domain like 20 years or so after it's initial release? That way people could still play old games without having to worry about breaking the law. (Please note that this is just a concept, and not a fully fledged solution) But no, companies have to protect their IP, even if it means destroying something that had a positive effect on it, or just not doing anything with it. I find that entirely unacceptable, and this situation is not different.

  DuckTales! Woo-oo! The immortal classics have returned - with exactly the same gaming experience covered in perfectly remade visuals. Nothing less, nothing more. And if you feel like missing those good ol' times, this one would definitely do the trick.

  DuckTales: Remastered is a remastering of the original DuckTales game with the original cast and voice actors. I played this game for 7 hours, and found it to be incredibly, incredibly difficult. First, I'll briefly talk about the game itself. I played on a controller and the controls were tight and responsive, easy to use and very fun. The game was bright, colourful and looks beautiful, they've done a great job remastering the scenes and levels. The gameplay is very classic and enjoyable, and the story whimsical and fun. Next, and just for a moment, I'll talk about the voice actors. One of the big draws of the game is that the original audio has been remastered by re-recording using the original cast of the original DuckTales game. This, at times, is pretty cool! But, after a while, I felt that the voice of Scrooge McDuck to just be a little "too old". Like, I know that sounds mean, but some of the lines seemed very strained and some incomprehensible without subtitles. While awesome to have the original voice actor back, I feel this drained a little of the vibrant colour from the game, for me. And now, I'll discuss the difficulty of the game. My god this game is hard. Of the 7 hours I played, at least 3-4 were spent on the last level. The game uses a Lives system which, if you run out of, it's game over. Start again. Not the game, but the level. The final level of the game takes about 20+ minutes to complete. If you run out of lives, on the final bossfight, you have to re-do the entire level again. I have never been so frustrated by something that I felt, while playing, should be so easy. Many controller slams were had. But, in a good way. In an I WILL COMPLETE THIS I SWEAR TO GOD way, which so many games wish they could achieve in this day and age. If you're up to a challenge, this is the game for you. Trust me. Oh, did I mention I completed it on Normal mode? Yeah. There's a Hard Mode too. I couldn't even imagine completing Hard Mode. Oh, and after Hard Mode, there's Extreme Mode. Highly recommended for gamers who like a challenge. Nilesy

  A fantastic platformer based on the NES title. Tight controls and beautiful quasi 3D backgrounds with 2D sprites gives this game a unique style that gives depth to the (admittedly few) levels. This game also boasts a high skill ceiling with a harder setting for the controls that allows for greater manipulation of the platforming, important if you want to beat the game on extreme difficulty which requires the harder controls to be enabled. Each level is usually started with a sort of mini collect-a-thon that forces the user to explore a large amount of the level sometimes retracing areas to see other pathways or hidden items. While this can get redundant at times it is never really overused and is fairly straight forward. The levels end with a boss fight that is in my opinion the most fun part of the game. The boss fights are all unique and focus on pattern recognition which means it could take a few attempts before you know a bosses attacks well enough to take them down. All in all it is a great game for fans of the 2D platformer and fans of Ducktales, but outside of that might not appeal to everyone. 8/10

  I’m downvoting this game with extreme prejudice because it has a crash bug which has been left unaddressed for over a year: players who have Nvidia cards with up-to-date drivers will find that the game will always freeze on the final boss. It seems that some recent version of Nvidia drivers broke some graphic effects in late-game cutscenes. Unfortunately, the rights to this game are a royal cluster of bureaucracy between Disney, CAPCOM, and WayForward, and nobody seems interested in addressing the issue, or even acknowledging that this game exists anymore. Basically, if you don’t have access to a PC without an Nvidia card, do not buy this game, as you will not be able to finish it without skipping specific cutscenes and using weird workarounds. Aside from that unforgivable issue, the game is okay. It is a decent remix of the original DuckTales NES game, and is sure to bring waves of nostalgia to anyone who has fond memories of it. For the unfamiliar, DuckTales is a barebones, unremarkable platformer where the main gimmick is that you can bounce around on a pogo stick which can break bricks, defeat enemies, and cross dangerous terrain – think of Shovel Knight’s down-stab attack, but one that works nearly anywhere and not just on top of enemies. But the game is certainly is a “remix” and very much not the same game as it used to be. Imagine the differences between Super Mario Bros. 3 and New Super Mario Bros, and you'll get a decent idea of how this game has been updated. Differences include: - Save points! Unlike the NES game, you can save your game between levels and come back later (unless you’re an achievement hunter playing Extreme difficulty, in which case you’ll have to beat the whole game in one sitting anyway… sorry!). - Greatly improved controls which make it much easier to master the pogo stick. - Large changes in level design which make them easier, but the addition of more fetch quests make them longer. - Bosses are harder and longer with the addition of long unskippable invulnerability periods. - Some plot events have been removed, such as the Transylvania detour in the mines level, and the paywall in the Amazon level. - Money collected in-game is more than just score, and can be spent on gallery unlocks. The new sprite animations are absolutely adorable, and the soundtrack by Jake Kaufman (composer for Shovel Knight and the Shantae series) is just epic – the soundtrack alone is, in my opinion, worth more than the price of the game. But it seems that this game’s main draw is its storytelling and voice acting – several of the voice actors from the DuckTales TV show have returned to voice the characters, and the levels play out like an episode of the show with numerous cutscenes. This is where the game somewhat fell flat to me. Although the scripted cutscenes obviously had a lot of heart put into them, I found them mostly annoying, pointless, and not nearly as funny or clever as the show they try so hard to pay tribute to. After seeing each cutscene once, I saw no reason not to just slam on the “skip cinematic” button on all subsequent playthroughs, and that makes me a bit sad, because I feel like that’s where most of the charm of this remake is supposed to be coming from. Final verdict: don’t buy, because we PC gamers need to put pressure and accountability on the corporate red tape which prevents developers from supporting the games they make. Talk with your wallet, as they say, because that’s the only way they’ll listen. Leaving a reproducible crash bug that prevents the game from being completed, especially near the end of the game when refunds aren’t available anymore, is simply unacceptable for everyone involved. But if you want to ignore me and buy the game anyway, keep in mind that this is a game meant to be played with nostalgia goggles firmly glued to your face. If you’re a huge fan of the original NES game, then you’ll probably love this from beginning to end. But if you’ve never played DuckTales before, you might find the level design to be a bit empty, tedious, and pointless – you’d probably get more overall joy out of Shovel Knight. It’s not a terrible game by any means, but if you're a newcomer to the game then it probably won't blow you away.

  I hate to downvote this game, but it [b][url=http://steamcommunity.com/app/237630/discussions/0/864976115482880816/]freezes on the end boss for a lot of people[/url][/b], including me. It sounds like it's related to Nvidia's newer drivers but I'm not sure. The game itself is a solid if not particularly impressive affair. The graphics are obviously an improvement over the original, but compared to the recent [i]remake[/i] of [url=http://store.steampowered.com/app/227600/]Castle of Illusion[/url] this [i]remaster[/i] is kind of disappointing. If you are looking for a great Disney platformer I'd recommend trying that one first. This is worth picking up for $5 sometime, though, if you are a Disney fan or like 2D platformers. However, I'd hold off until it's patched - otherwise you might not be able to finish it.

  Dont even play it. Just turn it on for the theme song.
