    Good FPS control and twitched base combat, but barely anyone ever online -- so to call this an MMORPG is a stretch (i.e. seeing 3 or more people in your vicinity is a rare encounter).

And those that are online are rarely helpful. In game chat is often overwhelmed with toxicity between players and there is never any moderation. The developers have focused the majority of their efforts and resources on mobile and VR development instead of content and fixing bugs. Customer support is pretty lackluster as well, often met with delayed responses ranging from vague to annoyed.

    A surprisingly long lasting game that has always had far more potential than it has ever been able to take advantage of. Since it was released the manpower keeping it afloat has steadily shrunk and development has been almost entirely focused on satisfying various contracts with other companies to keep the lights on rather than improving gameplay, solving long standing issues, or updating and adding new content.

    Getting access to content in game requires incredible amounts of mind-numbing grinding which gets old very quick and is not likely to keep the average gamer interested long enough to subscribe. Those that do end up playing have fairly solitary experiences due first and foremost to the vastness of the universe, and secondarily to the low player count.

    Visually the game is reminiscent of the 1990s, but it can easily be ignored if you get involved in pvp. In recent years mobile players have emerged as the majority of the player base, and with them has come an increase in latency issues that have been a struggle for the developers to address.

    Overall worth trying, but once you do you'll quickly see why more people haven't stuck around.    … Expand

    I have played on and off for over a decade, rabid censorship, poor administration, game has had little to no traffic for the last 5 years or so, lots of empty promises by Guild Software that never happened, not worth the subscription fee whatsoever.

    This is by far the worst game I have ever played in terms of innovation, player base, value, end-game, security and privacy. a loot of players are hacking and creating plugins to have advantages over others. you have to be a programmer in order to be able to stand a chance.

Some people have been playing this game for more than a decade, and the devs cannot catch any of it, you literally have to report the bugs in order for them to be fixed, most players will NOT tell the devs about the bugs and glitches, because that's the way things are in Vendetta Online. No wonder why the ACTIVE player base is less than 10 people worldwide.… Expand

    Vendetta Online is not really worth the time or the money. It's boring a lot of the time, and most players will probably lose interest long before anything exciting happens.

    To the casual gamer though who just wants to be among a bunch of other players in the same game, almost every other MMO is recommended over this one.

    If you really, really must play a MMORPG space sim, then you should give VO a trial run as it does deliver the very basics. Otherwise, it is hard to recommend that you spend your MMORPG time and money on this one.
