It's surprisingly good for a licensed game, but it isn't anything amazing. The standout part of the gameplay is Scrooge's pogo jump mechanic, which feels great to use. The game is also faithful to being a DuckTales game, and it's nice to see all the characters in it. That said, the level design can be very hit or miss, and sometimes the game is very difficult in ways that aren't always fair.
I would've rated this game at least a full point higher if not for the last level of the game, where the punishment for failure at a certain point is so severe that I contemplated giving up after failing several times in a row at the final part and being forced to redo the entire stage. I did stick with it and the feeling of beating the level was satisfying, but one single checkpoint would've been all the game needed to keep the game fun until the end. Or you can just play on easy mode and have infinite lives, but I'm stubborn. And also you also can't change your difficulty after selecting it, so keep that in mind.
6.5/10
