Double Dragon: Neon

De los juegos más potables de esta saga tan prolífica, pero con tan poca cosa buena, ya sé que es muy mítica y recordada por mucha gente, yo también le tengo un cariño especial, pero si analizamos los juegos, hay poco donde rascar. Metiéndonos en harina, el control es bueno y las colisiones también, da buena sensación, pero creo que el botón de correr, no digo quitarlo, pero si dar la opción de también poder correr haciendo doble toque. Gráficamente a mí me gusta, sin ser una pasada, pero entiendo que tiene un estilo muy peculiar y que hay quien no le gusta, pero bueno, para gustos... La música es espectacular y los sonidos muy buenos. El juego implementa un muy interesante progreso, además aprovechando algo retro como las cintas de casete, que van apareciendo de forma aleatoria como premio y también se pueden comprar en tiendas, además de mejorar la cantidad máxima a poder tener, eso se compra con diamantes, que los dan los jefes finales. Cada cinta contiene un poder o un golpe especial, tenemos diez de cada, que podremos elegir de forma estratégica, o según como se adapte a cada uno, o según la que te dan en cada momento y todavía no tienes las que te gustan. El cooperativo está muy bien, dando cierta variedad y estrategias, ya que puedes interactuar con el compañero haciendo ciertos gestos para tener mejoras, cambios e incluso repartir la energía. Las partes negativas, los jefes duran demasiado, sobre todo alguno en concreto, se hacen tediosos y tienen demasiada armadura, por lo que la pelea se siente injusta e incómoda. No tiene un modo arcade en el que las vidas se mantienen hasta el final, cada fase empiezas con 2 vidas, da igual que la anterior terminaras con una o diez vidas, además hay tiendas donde puedes comprar vidas y valen de poco, ya que gastas el dinero y si no te las quitan en esa fase, las pierdes para la siguiente.

This game doesn't run right now in July 4th, 2026. A lot of games are probably gonna keep having this problem all the sudden.

Very funny, very good sounds, music and FX... Be careful: it's way much harder than the original arcade game Lot of new stuff, options, game modes and so on... Nice!

nice double dragon game fun and funny classic and modern !? coop all the way but at the end ... Skullmageddon thank you i will miss you .. :'D <3

I played this game for 8 minutes, and in that time, it offended me on almost every level possible. First, let's talk about what's good about this game: - It looks and sounds good. That's it. The art, music, and special effects are very well done. The game looks beautiful and has a beautifully composed-and-performed score. The characters are tough-looking representations of who they're supposed to be, and the women are very attractive. That however, brings us to the "offensive" portion. The following are the ways the game offends me: - As a Human person living in society: The game is hypersexualised, with all the female characters being dressed extremely lewdly, clothes hanging off of them, super tight and revealing-- which are all things that I want from a pornography, but not what I want from my video games. - As a Gamer: The controls are are extremely slow and sloppy. Your basic attacks fire off fast enough, but that's about where the responsiveness in this game ends. Even the attacks don't fully live up to the speed one would expect, as chaining the attacks feels like they're moving through molasses, as does attempting to run, change targets, etc. Grabbing also just doesn't work a significant amount of the time, even when your opponent is just standing there and you run up so close to them your feet are already touching before attempting to perform the grab. Slow and sloppy controls are simply not acceptable in an action game of any sort. - As a Double-Dragon fan: I've been a long-time fan of the series; for over 30 years, in fact. I played the very first double-dragon on NES (a title which, sadly, is actually MORE RESPONSIVE and consistent than this one) and fell in love with it. By the time Super Double Dragon on SNES rolled around, it seemed they had perfected the formula and genre. Neon LOOKS right in the ways that matter, and I totally could have forgiven their softcore-porn-style look, if the game had just played the way it's meant to-- but it doesn't. Weapons enemies leave on the ground, if you can pick them up at all, there's no clear indication of how, nor do the logical (nor historical) means of doing so, work. You can't easily change facing direction, or targets, attack chaining is slow and sloppy, you have a "run" button, but it comes with a huge wind-up and even if you charge-attack a basic enemy, they treat it the same as a light jab and simply ignore you, rather than getting bashed out of the way or thrown to the ground like they should. Frankly, I've already spent as much time writing this as I have playing the game, so I'm going to stop here, but we've already crossed the line to "unacceptable" game-play-wise way back in this critique. Save your money on this one. There are not only better action titles and beat-em-ups, but there are even better *double dragon* games, both before and after this title. TL;DR: Yuck. Don't buy.

I came in for the nostalgia and stayed for that ridiculous soundtrack, which honestly might be the best part of the whole thing. The dodge mechanic gives the combat real depth once you learn to time it, and swapping mixtapes to power up your stances and specials keeps the fights from getting stale, even if cycling through them mid-battle gets fiddly. It runs a little sluggish at times and the campaign is short at around three hours, but the campy 80s humor and that incredible end credits sequence won me over. If you can get past the dated feel, it's a genuinely fun beat 'em up that pays loving tribute to the genre. Worth grabbing, especially when it goes on sale.

I grew up with the original Double Dragon. This is a funny take on it. I am not playing this game for nostalgia; I am playing it for the fun factor. I like that I can play it online with my friends.
