Is it still worth playing?
A 2013 remake of the 1989 NES platformer DuckTales, with hand-drawn sprites over 3D levels, in which Scrooge McDuck travels the world and as far as the Moon in search of five treasures. He swings his cane to strike enemies and break objects, and bounces on it like a pogo stick to hit enemies from above and cross hazards that would hurt him on foot. Along the way, diamonds add to his fortune and ice cream or cakes restore his health. The original five levels are all there, expanded and open in any order, but they now come with objectives to meet before they can be finished, and every boss has new patterns. A new tutorial in Scrooge's money bin opens the game and a new final level on Mount Vesuvius closes it, while a story voiced by actors from the animated series explains each trip. Bosses rebuilt with new patterns still end every expedition on a fight to learn.
