Double Dragon Gaiden is the best thing to happen to this franchise since The Revenge. While there have been solid efforts in the past (Advance) and more recently (Neon), it is Gaiden where everything just clicks. The combo system, the partner-tag system, the specials, the 'crowd-controls,' the rogue-lite mechanics, and the variety of characters all make for an amazing and incredibly fun experience. Additionally, this game is perfect for quick solo pick-up-n-play sessions or a long, co-op run with friends. As you progress through the game, you earn the ability to add more playable characters to your roster. Each of these characters have unique move-sets and play very differently from one another - requiring you to modify your tactics when taking on specific groups of enemies. Speaking of enemies, there are several enemy types that compel you to approach every encounter with specific strategies based on the character(s) you are using. This is even more important when fighting mid- or end-stage bosses... all of whom have a wide array of unique moves. In addition to the characters and enemies is the actual gameplay. One thing that makes Double Dragon Gaiden exciting to play over and over is the simple, albeit fun, rogue-lite mechanics. Indeed, the upgrade system is implemented very well... at the end of each "chapter" you are granted an opportunity to enhance your characters based on a randomized list of upgrades. (These upgrades are lost once you finish the play session in which they were applied.) Some of these upgrades are passive (like more health) and some are active (like stronger combos) and make each session unique. Button input and movement feel great and, with the aforementioned upgrades, even the bulkier characters can become fast and lethal. It is fun to experiment with the tag-system to extend combos or add special moves to the end of a combo using your secondary character. Moreover, the game allows you to choose the order in which you progress through the stages. As you complete one level, the other levels become longer and more difficult. Because there are a unique stage hazards in each level, you will want to choose the order carefully. Graphically, the pixel art is absolutely gorgeous. There are plenty of nods to the original arcade games found throughout each of the levels, and the characters all have that exaggerated stature that became the norm back on the NES. Animations are fluid and look beautiful, while the small details in each of the four "worlds" show just how much care was put into this game. The music is just as good. There are plenty of selections taken from past DD games and, of course, the main theme that will live in your head forever more. There is a lot more to discover in this game that I will not list here, but know that the developers have been actively supporting this game with several free DLC packs and small fixes. If it isn't obvious already, I highly recommend Double Dragon Gaiden. This is a great time for beat 'em up experts and novices - alone or with friends!
A love letter to Double Dragon. The amount of characters to unlock that span practically every classic double dragon game is impressive. Every character feels unique to play with very distinct mechanics as well and are all satisfying to play as. My only negative is that it could use a few more levels. It does have a rogue-like mechanic where depending on what order you play each of the four levels the levels become progressively longer and change up a bit, along with the boss of the level changing up a bit and being a bit harder, but that only goes so far. You've seen all the 4 levels and bosses have to offer within a few hours. That said, I've got over 12hrs logged in here because it's fun as heck to replay as you unlock the something like 20+ characters (maybe more or less, can't remember) and master them as you go. Plenty of deep-cut characters if you've been playing since the NES days too, which as a long time fan I really appreciate. So if they do another updated like they did back in Feb' of this year (2026) but added some new levels and maybe another final level/boss option it would go a long way. As Double Dragon games go, this is one of the greats. Worth the money, and when it's on sale it's a no-brainer instant purchase imho.
funny how the reverse happened: Kunio Kun was super-deformed thanks to River City sub-series being more popular, after the canon "River City Girls", they become standard-proportioned. Double Dragon was always standard-proportioned. Not in this one. Unlike most Double Dragon games, this game is beginner friendly although it will took awhile and playing in harder difficulties gave more rewards and faster unlocks. This game is meant to be played in multiple playthroughs as after the first act, there's multiple choices, and the ones that you don't chose have increasingly longer levels. Overall fun to be enjoyed.
How often do you play a game where you can punch a scorpion in the face? No, not stomp or swat. PUNCH A SCORPION IN THE FACE. Shoryuken a rat? That too. Piledrive an ancient demon? Check. This game is a hell of a drug. Tldr; flashy hype beat-em-up go BOOM Also... ABOBO TIME PROS + Really addicting gameplay loop of styling on enemies + Good controls that make it easy for you to pick up and play + Big character cast that you can unlock with tokens as you play + Customizable difficulty. Want it really easy? Done. Want it ball-crushingly hard? DONE. + ABOBO + Doing flashy combos IS JUST SO DAMN COOL + Local multiplayer with two controllers on the same screen + Surprisingly complex mechanics that incentivize combos and learning each character + Easy achievements for completionists + Surprisingly good soundtrack + The devs actually listen to the community and added some meme characters to the game + Basically a love letter to the double dragon franchise CONS - After you beat the story a couple of times, you realize that there's not that much content - Barebones story - While the game isn't as execution-heavy as a fighting game, if your reflexes are a bit slower, you'll probably end up losing often - On that same point, the game is best enjoyed with mastery of the mechanics. - If you're not a beat-em-up/fighting game enjoyer, this game definitely won't change your mind. It doesn't do anything too out of the box, which means it won't draw in a new audience. In conclusion, this game is extremely fun if you have the mindset for it. It's hype, it's cool, and fun to enjoy with a buddy in co-op. That being said, there's not a whole lot of content, so try to get it in a sale. In my opinion, this game does not get old fast, but you certainly want to keep the smaller level of content in mind. Best played in intervals rather than long gaming sessions. 8.5/10
