PLEASE BE CAUTIOUS Of Fake Reviewers.

If you are considering this game based on reviews and review scores on steam, first consider looking at the accounts making the review and gauge their legitimacy for yourself.
Many seem to solely exist simply for Vendetta -Curse of Ravens cry and it's publisher (with the rest of their account games untouched and never played)

-------------------------------------

Note: This game was already released around 10 months ago as "Raven's Cry", one of the worst rated games on Steam. If you are new to this title, please take that as warning as the store page for "Vendetta" makes no mention of this. If you would like to see what the original release was like, please see the video linked below (which I made for the original release which has since been Deleted).

I feel really bad for this developer. They try so hard to fix this mess of a game, but it would have probably been better to just walk away. Instead, they decided to re-release Raven's cry under a different name and try to pretend it's a different game. Well, it's not.

There have been improvements made, which is great, but these could have easily been applied as a patch so it does not justify being renamed and released again. So why try and release this as a different game? It's simply a way for them to try and erase their past and all the extremely bad reviews the original release was bombarded with. Now that all the old reviews are deleted and gone, they have distanced themselves from their failures and are trying again.

The game still screams "Budget title" with poor vocal talent, terrible animations and glitchy NPCS. Quests are still boring and the only redeeming feature it has is the ship battles - Just like the original release.

Changes:

Changes have indeed been made, but nothing that warrants a new release.

* NPCS now all have full voicing and don't just go silent with missing vocal tracks.
* Quests (that I have played so far) are no longer broken and causing the game to be unfinishable.
* Islands are no longer barren and void of content, and now have random animals to fight
* Animations have been changed too, but not for the better. In fact, it seems worse. Instead of the characters being flat and boring when talking, they now flail their arms around like mad men, over emphasizing gestures to a laughable degree.

But again... all of this could have been (and should have been) added in a patch. There are still many bugs with NPCS getting caught on objects and clipping through furniture, twice I had to reload a previous save game and lose my progress, all because I was pushed behind an object that I couldn't get out of.

I might amend this review at a later date, but at 5 hours of gameplay I could never recommend this game to anyone. If you are oblivious to all the warning signs and really really want to give this a try, then MAYBE wait until the price drops by 80% during a sale.

Maybe.....

Are the bugs funny enough to play this game as a meme? Because the videos were pretty funny

godslayer1975 Nov 26, 2019 @ 5:50pm

dis hounest you take all bad problems make video thats stupid i can do same exact same shit in outer worlds this shows nothing thats not in outer worlds or risen or fallout or gta the diffrence is price this game way cheaper then those . try making a actual video not one geared for mentally ill children who think farts are funny

It is absolutely shockkng to me that this game is back on steam. Jail the makes.

Nyarl Q Thotep Jan 7, 2019 @ 8:42am

Worst game ever and also made by liars. I bought the original version of this crap and they lie when they say they gave the game for free to original owners. I don't have one. I asked for one. They refused me after I paid for the original. They are liars when they say they gave a working game to everyone who paid for a working game. This is criminal fraud and nobody should fall for these psycho con-me and their stupid non-game crashfest.

Get this crap off steam because the people selling it should go to actual jail

It might be enjoyable even with those bugs, since I've had a lot of fun with Two Worlds 1 (same dev) and it wasn't really perfect, technically speaking.
The main point of the negative review(s) is that they changed the name of the game to clean up the bad reviews it received at launch, while fixing only a fraction of the problems of the original game.
That doesn't mean the game wouldn't be enjoyable, but just a really bad behavior from the producer.

And to be honest, the bugs may even make it more fun :)

This game came up in my queue so I figured I would look at it. This game definitely has some bugs from what I've seen on your video. Have the devs fixed any of the bugs in your video? Honestly it looks like it would be a good game if they did fix the bugs.

a bit less youtube advertisng would give youre review more weight. I remember reviews of the original game. It waas really bad but not unplayable. If its at least somewhat patched i'll try it in a massive sale.
The age of pirates successor has its very own problems so its probably not better in general.

Dezhar must be crazy. "no fake accounts from devs"
Take a look at the account posted below, specifically the friends section and look at how many left a review specifically for this game. Also notice how every single account hasn't been touched for almost the exact same amount of time.

They're improving more and more, so the game will be eventually decent or good. This has alot of potential, sadly it's been flushed down the drain... For now, if a sequel EVER happens. Just sayin'.
