DuckTales: Remastered is a 2.5D action platform game and a remake of the original DuckTales. Containing many of the original game's levels, redesigned, it also features new areas and new boss patterns.
The game follows Scrooge McDuck and friends on a journey to find hidden treasure throughout the world after finding a treasure map in the back of one of Scrooge's old paintings.
Health & Death
Scrooge's total health is indicated in the upper left corner of the screen to indicate his current health. When hit, Scrooge loses a heart and when all hearts are depleted he will die. Health can be regenerated by finding Ice Cream and Cakes located throughout the levels to heal one health at a time.
Scrooge's maximum health can be increased by finding Large Treasure Chests throughout the game.
Lives are indicated by the Scrooge head located in the top left. Like hearts, when depleted you will get a Game Over but can replenish them by finidng Scrooge's throughout the levels.
Movement & Attacks
As a 2D side-scroller, the player primarily moves left and right with jumping to reach higher locations. In some cases, ledges are too high to be reached by a standard jump and can only be reached through Scrooge's Pogo Jump.
Pogo Jump can be used to break tough blocks, defeat enemies, and cross terrain that would normally damage Scrooge.
Cane Swing is another attack that can be used on enemies, but is primarily used to push objects or fling round objects. Round objects can be used to knock down higher objects, such as treasure chests.
Collectibles & Unlockables
Hidden throughout the game are gems that the player can uncover and collect to add to his fortune. While many are hidden and must be uncovered by crossing tounching the area where it is hidden, many are also found in treasure chests that are placed throughout the levels.
With the money obtained through the game, players can purchase unlockables, such as Concept Art and Music Tracks.
