Vendetta: Curse of Raven's Cry Re-released

Vendetta: Curse of Raven's Cry, an updated re-release of Raven's Cry, the largely ill-received pirate-themed action-RPG from Reality Pump Studios and Topware Interactive, is now out on Steam for $49.99/€49.99/£34.99 and currently 10% off to celebrate the release. The title is also available as a free update to owners of the original.

Here's the elevator pitch for Vendetta: Curse of Raven's Cry:

In the darkest corners of the Caribbean, an old evil is rising again.

It's been years since Christopher Raven's family was brutally murdered by Neville (the Devil) Scranton and his bloodthirsty gang, the Devil's Tines. Orphaned and missing a hand, Christopher is rescued by Marcus, an ex-slave and rum-maker who nurses Christopher back to health and takes him under his wing.

Growing up with a black bitterness in his heart, Christopher drowns his demons in rum and violence, brooding endlessly on the revenge that was stolen from him when the Devil's Tines disappeared in the monstrous quake that sunk half of Port Royal. When a string of brutal and all too familiar murders occur, Christopher's chance for revenge is suddenly within his grasp. Neville and the Tines are back, and nothing on earth will stop Christopher from claiming their heads.


Hopefully the developers have managed to clean most of the bugs and issues in the original release. Back when the re-release was announced the developers included an impressively long list of updates, but I haven't seen any footage so I don't know how those panned out.
