Explore the galaxy and carve out your own destiny in a 3D MMORPG. 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 $1/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.

I have some small bug issue with the gamepad when you want to navigate but direct me so other like chat . ain't what i wanted so I have to be careful what i button i hit. so it gamepad acts up . and for sppech to text is not accurate what i what wanted to say . it will say in different word. i would like to use the bluetooth keyboard on ios . i like playing on Ipad. i can see it better than using my iphone . i want to use touchscreen to type and using gamepad same . it would be nice i could use mouse and keyboard. since app on ios isn't allow it . maybe in the future . if you can let the players use bluetooth keyboard and mouse on ipad ios. thank you for reading this . I enjoy playing this . ### 4/5 — Fun space game *2026-03-05, version 1.8.757* I like it, touch aiming does feel a little rough when combatting so I’d recommend auto fire/controller ### 5/5 — Awesome game! *2026-01-16, version 1.8.754* For once a game that delivers without costing you money. It does have some paid options, but they don’t really help you get a massive upper hand. The community of good as well and very helpful. This is the closest game I have found to Privateer, which was a great game and with some more privateering options this game could be the best game on any mobile platform. ### 5/5 — Excellent community *2025-12-14, version 1.8.749* Truly a delightful game to play. The community is such a positive and entertaining aspect of the game, the devs are highly active and helpful if any issues arise, the game is full of interesting thins to do and truly has something for everyone to do and enjoy. Finding your place in the universe and learning about all the different things you can do is incredibly entertaining and often exciting. Whether you like to take it slow in games and be a miner, or you want the fast paced space fights and be a pirate, you are guaranteed to have fun in this game. All it takes is a little imagination and it can keep you entertained for years. ### 1/5 — After tutorial crash *2025-05-09, version 1.8.730* After tutorial it crashes constantly can’t get it to run ### 5/5 — Great Space Game *2025-03-23, version 1.8.727* Been looking for an Eve Online replacement due to the $20 sub (I know it says f2p but in order to compete in any way you definitely need sub). This game is a smaller learning curve for sure, you can sub if you want but not necessary . Really fun game ### 3/5 — XML error in Vietnamese language *2025-01-17, version 1.8.721* Lỗi XML nhiệm vụ khi chọn ngôn ngữ tiếng Việt ### 5/5 — W game *2025-01-03, version 1.8.719* Wish in the future premium and lite players can make truly massive ships with the current average capital ship missions right now. And normal peoples can like make goliaths and such with way easier tendency. ### 4/5 — Basterebbe prendere spunto dagli altri giochi *2024-09-30, version 1.8.708* Il gioco è davvero unico e un simulatore di volo nello spazio con Rpg aggiunto manca solo gli eventi e la distinzione delle classi come i eave e niente così si amplierebbe anche la parte per gli shop e non sta a voi decider se sbilanciare totalmente a favore o meno di chi compra ### 5/5 — Best game ever!!!!! *2023-07-14, version 1.8.588* Usually, I never write reviews but I seen great potential in your game in fact great graphics trade combat, and mining as a as elite dangerous player I was looking for more games just like elite. In fact, I your game reminds me just like it. I hope that you make more games like this. ## Frequently asked questions about Vendetta Online ### What kind of game is Vendetta Online?
