DuckTales: Remastered Reviews

Very fun game, much harder than the original , especially on harder difficulties. I like my achievements but to beat the game on extreme you have to be really good, really, patient, or a glutton for punishment. Pros - original voice actors from the animated series - updated graphics and the boos fights are more challenging cons: - on extreme difficulty the game can be extremely frustrating and downright a pain in the rear overall I would recommend

It's a solid throwback for sure. Some of the hit detection can be wonky on certain enemies and the cut scenes can be excessive for a remaster of an NES game that was never story heavy to begin with but those are the only negatives I can think of...also something really cool is the trade off you get with those excessive cut scenes is some of the actual original voice actors coming back and doing their roles, so if you actually like the IP this is a must have.

DuckTales Remastered is the Remake of the one and only (well not quite, they did make a sequel, if you have 300$ to spare) Ducktales for the NES. That title was already one of the best on its system, a very simple Platformer, but one that excelled at being fun and rewarding for everybody. DT:Remastered takes the blueprint of that and shifts it up a few gears. It's far more than a graphical update of an old classic, as "Shantae" developer WayForward really does understand what made Ducktales great and improves it exactly where its needed. While the original was already a great platformer, here you can expect to see the same levels in essence, but not in execution. Many of them are restructured, enemies adjusted and goals shifted. Where before the Amazon level was a simple trek from A-to-B, now you must find special collectibles to proceed, which really pushes players to dig through every single nook and cranny of these levels, something that made the original such an outstanding game to begin with. Similarly some of the more annoying levels (ilke Transylvania) were adjusted to be more fun for players. And on top of that, there's a few new levels and the kind of "meh" final boss of the original is turned into a spectularly enjoyable battle. But what I most enjoyed about this game is that it is unmistakeably "Ducktales". Not only is each sprite loveably hand-drawn onto the beautiful vivid landscapes one must comb through, but it's all fleshed out with entirely new story bits and cutscenes that help make the adventure truly come to life. They are accompanied not only by a ton of well-known characters, but their original voice actors as well. Add on top of that a beautifully arranged soundtrack to elevate each level, and beautiful new animations not only for the main cast but for every ever-so-little foe that stands in Scrooge's way and you've got yourself an adventure that feels like a true treasure hunt with none other than your childhood heroes. The love for both the original game and the Ducktales show radiates all throughout this game and makes it a joy to experience. Overall, Ducktales: Remastered is a wonderful remake, made with incredible love for the original source material; which allows it to truly improve on everything the NES original had attempted to do. Ducktales: Remastered transforms the simple, yet fun NES game into a totally new, much richer experience. I would highly recommend it to anybody and I'm sad I missed out on it for so long.

One of the best remakes of all time. Beautiful graphics, faithful remixes of the stellar music, and the added voice-acting with the cast of the original show is just genius.

I like how it takes the original NES game and adds a fresh coat of paint on top to make it more approachable for modern audiences. Easier platforming controls, the 3D-modeled environments are gorgeous, the voice acting is done well, and it really does capture the essence of exploration and treasure-hunting.

This game is, while technically not the "classic" version (which is included in The Disney Afternoon Collection, go play that too), is still an absolute classic in my heart. The art is animated but not overdone, the environments have their own visual atmosphere that, when combined with Jake Kaufman's stellar musical work in the remastered tracks and re-hashes of the older 8-bit tracks, makes for a smooth experience all the way through. Coming from someone that played at release, and someone that recently completed a few back to back playthroughs for a few extra achievements, it's totally worth a play.

It's a fun game, although a bit challenging even on normal if you haven't collected enough lives.

Никогда не играл в оригинал, крайне удивился, игра 2013 года а всё ещё свежо, хотя логично так как это не 3Д игры, но всё таки нужно быть полным экспертом чтобы пройти игру, любителям хардкора советую.

A fantastic platformer and even better remake of a classic from the golden age of gaming.

One of the best classic remakes. "You're as beautiful as the day i lost you" 5/5
