This truly cross-platform game enables thousands of players to interact as the pilots of spaceships in a vast online universe. Players may build their characters in any direction they desire, becoming rich captains of industry, military heroes, or outlaws. A fast-paced, realtime "twitch" style combat model gives intense action, coupled with the backdrop of RPG gameplay in a massive online galaxy. Three major player factions form a delicate balance of power, with several NPC sub-factions creating situations of economic struggle, political intrigue and conflict. The completely persistent universe and detailed storyline add to the depth of immersion, resulting in a unique online experience. Support for multiple platforms across desktop and mobile, all of which play together in a single unified game world. Pilots may seamlessly switch from one platform to another. The game supports Xbox, PS4 and MFi game controllers, and features cross-platform voice chat, as well as voice-recognition text chat for hands-free typing, text-to-speech for reading mission and other game updates, and many other features. Although the game can be played quite casually, this is a "real" PC-grade MMORPG, and is not a watered-down "mobile" game experience. Our native iOS version has exactly the same capabilities as the PC versions, with a different interface. The game is updated frequently, usually every week or two, with the developers and userbase actively discussing the future of the game on the Vendetta Online forums. Many frequent updates are server-side and will not result in a visible "iOS app" update. Vendetta Online offers three distinct access tiers: 1) Free, where you pay no money at all, and may earn "Crystal" currency through your gameplay, and spend it on certain higher-end ships and equipment. There are no level caps, and you may use your account to play on any other platform (like the Mac). Some high-level content is not available to the Freemium tier, like assembly of player-constructed Capital Ships. It takes many months to build these endgame assets, and Freemium players may work towards those goals, but not complete them. 2) Lite, where you basically subscribe for /month, gain the ability to earn 50% more crystal per day, and may build and own the Goliath-class Capital Ship. This ship may also be made "Enduring", causing it to store a permanent record of the ship's usage and history in the game, and making it into a trade-able part of the world. 3) Premium, where you no longer require "Crystal" currency, or even see it, and you only play the game itself the way it was originally intended. Trident-class Capital Ships are available. Lite and Premium levels are available via In App Purchase, as well as blocks of Crystal. If you have any problems or concerns, please contact us via email, or (preferred) by creating a Support Ticket on the game website (more secure, and it proves the account in question is yours). We are a small indie developer, but we respond quickly. Leaving reviews is not a very effective way to reach us about problems. If you are looking to try out your game iOS account on another platform, be sure to "Convert" your account with email verification. You can do this in the Options area, after logging into the game. -- LEGAL -- Duration and price of each subscription is displayed inside Vendetta Online's storefront, updated at the time of purchase. 1, 3, 6, and 12 month subscription lengths are available for both Premium and Lite modes. Payment will be charged to your iTunes account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions automatically renew unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Subscriptions and auto-renewal can be managed/turned off in your App Store Account Settings. Information Seller:Guild Software, Inc.

I was a HUGE freelancer fan way back when, I'm hoping this feels like a MMO version of that. Sure looks like it. I've got both GoF games as well. Can't wait to hear impressions -- what is the learning curve like?

Ayjona Well-Known Member Sep 8, 2009 3,295 21 38 Freelance journalist and writer, amateur musician Stockholm, Sweden #12 Ayjona, Apr 17, 2013 Last edited: Apr 17, 2013 I've stuck by Vendetta Online since the late beta, back in 2004, often forgetting about it for weeks and months a time, but always to return. I don't only consider it the most sophisticated MMO for the iOS platform, but one of the most original, hardcore (yea. For realz) and dynamic virtual gaming worlds ever created. Why? Well, the VO Wikipedia entry might give you some small insight, and VO's own about page and the VO Steam Greenlight page (the latter with a helpful bullet point list of features) some more. But here's my own list of the reasons that spring to mind straight away: Twitch-/skill-based combat: Spacefight and flight in VO is entirely based on player skill. There are no stats, attributes or abilities that have any in-game effect. A player's ability to aim, dodge, handle his ship, account for physics, and apply tactical insight is all that determines the outcome of a battle. Also, fighting is furiously fast, on a par with Tribes: Ascend, and has led VO to be labelled "Quake in space" on several occasions. I have yet to come across fighting mechanics with more practical depth and differences in player skill. (Also, to further complicate and enrichen the combat model, VO's ships actually have a distributed physics model, meaning they all handle differently not only because of their statistics, but also because of their shape and mass. As a result, each ship has to be flown to truly be judged in terms of combat effectiveness and potential. Some ships turn out to be excellent dogfighters just because their shape offers a smaller forward profile and less m2 to fire at. For the pilot who knows how to use that to his advantage, at least.) A dynamic galaxy: The "dynamic" moniker, often thrown about in all kinds of MMOs, actually has some real bearing on gameplay in Vendetta Online. There is an AI faction, the Hive, that will expand across the galaxy and seize sectors if not kept in check by players. There are also border conflicts to win and military transports to disrupt. The former will shift the borders, and lead to differnt kinds of AI incursions and patrols in the universe, and the latter will affect the availability of some very powerful weaponry in the affected nation. A dynamic economy: Trading, availability and demand affect prices in different sectors and stations, and blockading particular stations lead to shortages and price fluctuation. And more guards with NPC trading convoys. A flexible faction system: In VO, you can actually abandon your own nation, and take sides with others, giving you access to restricted tech and particular missions (you might have to work like four Han Solos on speed to achieve this within a reasonable playtime in some cases, but it can always be done). And there are plenty of smaller factions with whom you can gain acceptance and admiration, and gain access to more restricted stuff (ship, weapons, utilities and defenses), missions and stations. You can also be an ass to almost everyone, and loose access to most of the galaxy (stations won't let you land and military patrols might pursue you, even across sector borders), but earn the awesomeness factor of being adressed "pie rat", and of having a legitimate reason to skulk about in grey and dark space. Galaxy-wide free PvP, regulated by in-game solutions (no "magical barriers"): In VO, you can literally be gunned down anywhere. You don't hide in safe zones, skulk about in instances to avoid risk of attack, or bitch and moan about griefing. You get your best ship or you friends and get even, or cleverly rely on in-game safety nets (such as station turrets that attack pirates and other violators, police patrols that launch when innocents are harrassed and attacked, and the factional loss and repercussions your abusers will face, see above point on the faction system). This also facilitates cooperation and planning, as player traders will often bring pals to protect on particularly long journeys through greyspace. When you explode, stuff is lost: Be at the explosive end of a space conflict, and your ship, your equipment and your cargo are all lost. And it is amazing just how the risk of losing makes winning, gaining and progressing so much more fun. Higher stakes, higher returns, something the MMO industry has largely forgotten about. (And no, the free PvP and gank-griefing poential does not result in a game where you can never make headway or a fortune. Most ships, even very combat-capable vessels, are very generously priced, so you can just outfit another fighter and get back in the action. But there are also exclusive, expensive and rare spaceboats that you might not want to gallivant about the universe in...) The Player Contribution Corps: A group of players who have access to a mission creation engine, can submit new missions to be reviewed and potentially incorporated into the game by the devs, and thus supply the game with a irregular but regular stream of new content. If you get deeply into VO, apply to join the PCC. The web-based mission engine is tons of fun to play around with and create in, and it is flexible enough that there is a lot of opportunity for some serious creativity and content production. A small developer team that communicate with players, implement popular suggestions, and respond to criticism and queries: I fondly remember playing about on the test server, seeing incarnate (the main developer) test out new features, telling him "I don't like this particular implementation, for these reasons", and seeing him change it on the fly (a change that propagated to the production environment in a matter of days). Missions are called "missions". Not "quests". So if you are curious about the game, let your lasers rip and fire away with questions at me, and I'll do my best to respond in a manner as subjective as a person can be after having advocated a game (and hardcore and dynamic MMO worlds in general) for more than half a decade . (Also, the Vendetta Online Wiki will easy you in to a MMO very much unlike the majority of popular entries into the genre, and at the far end of the complexity spectrum.)
