@@SwitchCorner that's wild; b/c each level extends the stage by 1 section & most of the bosses (with the exception of maybe 1) are at a different stage of evolution depending on how late you encounter them (sometimes they even look completely different) The later you take them on the harder they'll be; & you can miss out on whole sections of a level Casino for example; if it's your level 1 you fight ol girl on the casino floor at her weakest. If it's your level 2 you fight through to the back office & take her on there. As your level 3 you go through a secret passage & fight your way through caves & up a mountain to fight her in front of her hideout. If you play it last you fight your way through said hideout & faceoff on the rooftop (& by this point she's going all-out) Boss-wise....level 1 Anubis for example you fight as a regular dude. Level 4 Anubis is practically god-form... Gotta say it's really been giving the game some legs
Since this game's first announcement I have said " I wish they had the team behind river city girls development this game '. From the reviews I have seen I still think that way. The art style and everything just doesn't do it for me. I may pick this game up on a deep 50 % off sale.
I've been a double dragon since the NES. I haven't had much time with this one yet, but so far I'm a little disappointed. I thought they knocked it out of the park with double dragon neon and it was a great refresh for the series. The limited move set is my biggest complaint so far, maybe that will improve after I get more time with it.
You will see them lower right when you finish a level, you can only spend them if you beat the game or die and it will eventually give you the option to cash out if you can’t afford to continue
So NO RPG elements? Lame i thought it have a lvling up system like TMNT Shredders Revenge. Just save your money for the TMNT DLV coming soon adding a slew of extra costumes content levels etc.
It seems alright, but I’ll probably wait a little bit or for a sale. Have too many others I’m just a bit more interested in currently. Thanks for another great and honest review!
I'm really enjoying this game and this is roguelike done right. Have unlocked 5 characters already and have enjoyed how the level design has changed with each play through. Looking forward to unlocking the rest of the character this evening.
This looks like a kiddie game that doesn't belong in the DD franchise. Doesn't resemble or represent what DD is in the slightest bit. Wow what a huge disappointment
As a longtime Double Dragon fan, my impression of this game, based on the reviews and video footage, is mixed. It seems clear that the developers had a lot of love and respect for the previous games: the many homages and inspirations from the earlier games are clear to see. And I also like the idea of a beat-em-up rogue-lite with the ability to modify some of the potentially annoying elements of the rogue-lite genre, along with some other more general gameplay settings. BUT that character art style - an awful mix of semi-chibi/semi-arcade/NES - is terrible. 🤮 I wish they went with more normally proportioned characters or (if they had to go for a less realistic look) picked a more appealing chibi and/or cartoony style, ala River City Ransom or Scott Pilgrim vs The World. It's too bad, because, overall, I do like the background art, the animation seems nice and fluid, and the gameplay/mechanics look promising. I just hate the character style. So I think I might have to skip this one.
@@zerotattsreviews9767 What can I say. I'm a shallow guy. 😂 Plus, like a lot of folks, I've got a mile-long backlog, so I am far from pressed for new games, even 2D pixel art beat'em ups. But to each their own. There is a huge Doube Dragon fangame/rom hack currently in the works, so I might try that if/when it's finished to get my DD fix. Caio.

Is Bimmy an unlock able character?
Just the Billy you see!
Always loved this series. Super Double Dragon or 4 was my favorite my Dad and I palyed many hours from arcades to NES and SNES
Wonderful review - I am definitely picking this up - I love a good beatem up - playing on a train ride or when I get stuck on a rainy day 😊
Hopefully you're aware the levels (& bosses) evolve differently depending on the order you select levels (?)
Yeah, played it through twice and don’t notice much difference with it and did completely different order

Just got this very excited to play double dragon 2 was my favorite
Why am I not collecting tokens?
You will see them lower right when you finish a level, you can only spend them if you beat the game or die and it will eventually give you the option to cash out if you can’t afford to continue
I want this, i NEED this. 😋
Sounds pretty cool, I like grind and LOVE unlocking characters! Do they have Bimmy in this one? Lol! 😆
Boy, those graphics sure are UGLY though!

You lost me on Roguelike......
As I say, it's really been oversold in the marketing!
I've had the game for 3 days and just found out you can switch characters during battle. 🤯 Great game
Not a huge fan of best em ups, but igotta say this game looks awesome!
Been looking forward to this one! Thanks for covering it Alex!

The token are actually *super* easy to get, once you understand the system.
And the characters are some of the cheapest things to unlock.
how is the performance? ive heard it is a bit bad??
No problems for me
i want to play a remake of battletoads and double dragon. that was my favorite game on my nes! never got after the stage in space😅
This looks fun but it doesn't look as enticing as SoR4 or TMNTSR
Alex does a better review than ign
Thank you Graham! Funny you say that, I’m launching a website for all of this next week lol
I've been watching people playing this game on streams and I had to say it looks really fun so I'm really tempted to get it.
Its an interesting concept they have here, I will see more on this and think about getting it
I hate, rogue or rogue lite/like. I want DD old school.
This looks like a kiddie game that doesn't belong in the DD franchise. Doesn't resemble or represent what DD is in the slightest bit. Wow what a huge disappointment
Reminds me of street fighter 😆
looks better than Turtles. I was a bit disappointed about Turtles after all the praise. tbh going rogue like in a beatem up is the way to go.

From how the characters look u will have to skip it???? 🤦🏾♂️ wow
