Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise Of The Dragons

It’s a very competent beat em up, with some roguelite elements thrown in. Normally I’m not too excited about roguelite stuff, but in this case I could beat the game straight through, with the choice of random power ups between levels. There’s no time wasting here, just an additional twist if you want to play through again with unlocked characters. I appreciate that actually, makes replays more interesting. Combat itself is really satisfying, with weapons to pick up, decent enemy variety, and combos and special powers to use. Stages are fine, nothing too spectacular. It’s fun, it’s solid.

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!

One of the best DD games, although the bighead art style is not my personal favorite. *** I only played single player and it was awesome. Many other reviews say the co-op is broken. I cannot speak to this, but single player works perfectly. Not a single crash or issue in 65 hours. Lots of replayability due to the following: Many unlockable characters from the series, including bosses. Permanent (for that attempt) power-ups to purchase between levels. Multiple playstyles and movesets, including ranged attacks. 5 difficulty sliders (hp, damage, etc) make it very accessible for new players and beat-em-up veterans.

不错就是只有关卡太少了

颇具爽感的街机闯关，但是没有倒地保护实在太傻逼了，直接被小怪排队轮

I like my double dragon classic but I respect the attempt to bring something new to the table. It can be fun but it gets repetitive and there is a lot to grind for if you like that sort of thing.

idk its extremely short and can be beaten under 2 hours, and it was way too easy with difficulty sliders on max
