DuckTales was the cherished franchise of many people. Consequently, it has raised two video game adaptations and many other products.
DuckTales: Remastered is the remake version of the original game that came out back in 1989. It has received a lot of controversial reviews on its contents, but it's still a great game to satisfy our nostalgia.
But only within some more hours, DuckTales: Remastered will get out of the digital storefronts. Hence, this might be your last chance to claim a digital copy for yourself.
Let's watch the game's trailer while waiting for the download to complete:
DuckTales: Remastered will no-longer be downloadable
Despite WayForward and Capcom called this DuckTales game as a remastered version, it's more like a remake. The original DuckTales game is an 8-bit platformer game, the developer has brought up this version to match with today's graphical standards. DuckTales: Remastered still gained some success, and later get its steps onto mobile devices later in 2015.
However, besides the graphical revamp, it has some bonus fully-voiced cutscenes, which is considered unimportant. That's what downgraded the overall experience of players who wants to find the nostalgic feelings of their favorite movies.
Regardless, we don't have much time to criticize this game anymore. The developer has announced that it's going to pull this game from all digital storefronts today. This includes all storefronts for Wii U, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Xbox One (through backward compatibility) and PC (Steam). You can find the schedule on the delist here:
We don't have many times left, so let's purchase the game first, and then read our overview on the gameplay later:
About the game
DuckTales: Remastered tells the story of the titular duck - Scrooge McDuck. This time, he'll make his epic adventure to find all five of the Legendary Treasures.
In order to do that, you'll have to visit some famous locations in the universe, such as the Himalayas, the Amazon, and the Moon! However, your journey is not going to be peaceful, as the wicked sorceress Magica De Spell and Beagle Boys will stand in his way. They are trying to steal the treasures, and they're ready to risk everything for it!
As a grown-up, it's Scrooge's duty to protect his nephews: Huey, Dewey, and Louie. Through the journey, he'll encounter many powerful bosses on the way. You can not beat them by force, so that's where your ducky intelligence will shines!
DuckTales: Remastered is a 2D side-scrolling with bright images and detailed characters. Basically, it features Mario-like gameplay, where you try to get through the level by jumping on top of things and getting items on the way. In fact, it's your main way of dealing damage, besides making use of the environment to drops bricks on to bosses' heads.
And to memorate this event, Capcom is running a sharp discount on this game. To be more specific, the game is currently under 75% sale, which cut it down to only $4. For me, it's more than a pay to get in this ducky adventure! The ones those have already purchased this will still be able to download it in the future.
I have been writing about upcoming games for a while, and it's very weird for me to say this. But DuckTales: Remastered is only available digitally until tomorrow, so you need to be quick! After that, the only method of getting this game is through physical release. And believe me, it's going to be very pricy really soon!
Enjoy!
