What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
The story lets you play the stages in whatever order you want and that affects what happens to the other stages along the way.
I was able to grind out all of the achievements within 10 hours so it's not very long game, but there's a lot of replayability.
I haven't found anyone to play co-op so I can't speak on that experience yet, but as a solo game, it's fun.
Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons boasts a vibrant, hand-drawn art style that stands out in today’s gaming landscape.
TL;DR: this game is a unique and fun spin on the beat 'em up genre, combining elements of roguelikes with a charming pixel art and amazing soundtrack.
What I especially love the most is the ability to chain multiple Special Moves together consecutively and within normal combos, depending on how much super stock and super stock enhancing inventory power ups you have.
