It's still in early access, but this is already one of the best fighting games i have played. It looks and sounds like it is right out of the nineties, my era, like a Streets of Rage game that Sega or the other publishers never got around to making. I really love it for that, and so many other reasons. Its a shame there are not more games of this style. With One or Two players it is a kind of tactical game where you pick off the enemies as quickly and as efficiently as you can. You cannot just wade in hammering that fire button. You have really got to think about it. Do i go left first or right first ? With four players, it starts to get proper crazy. The big tactics soon go out of the window and you just brawl your way through each baddie just to survive. I can just imagine what it would be like with eight players. WOW !! Crank up the difficulty and it is tough but not to the point that it is unfair and you are always getting hit. There is usually a tactic you have to find when it gets tough and when you find it, it does get a bit easier. It has a real nineties crunchy feel when you hit people, especially when you use the weapons, although i think some blood and gore would have made it more impactful. So many levels to play, so many characters to play as. I feel like i have only scratched the surface with it. With the weekly updates that they have said, it looks like i am going to feel that way for a while longer. I did also hear on Twitter that they are going to bring in online play too. Now's my chance to show those Battlefield gamers what nineties fighters are like.

If you love classic beat em ups you'll love Eight Dragons. Very simple controls makes it easy to play, I really enjoy the pixel art that gives it that classic 80s feel. You can play with up to 8 people on screen at once, I haven't been able to do it but it sounds insane. No online, but there is a leader board that tracks your scores in the arcade mode. The developers are making slight updates to the game and take community feedback. Definitely give Eight Dragons a chance.
Excellent side-scrolling beat 'em up, enjoyed even better in multiplayer. Having played this game at Insomnia 53, I was thoroughly entertained by what it had to offer. Each of the Eight Dragons, have their own unique stories, which take place in an assortment of the game's maps. It's fantastic to play through all the different characters, especially considering some characters have very challenging boss fights towards the end! While I haven't been able to play multiplayer recently, at Insomnia it was a blast - having up to six players battling an ever-increasing swarm of baddies always gets entertaining (even more so, as friendly fire is on!) I would definitely recommend this game to anyone who fancy's a modern take on a beat em' up.
Probably the best Target: Renegade/Double Dragon retro style remake game I've played. The graphics are beautiful and the controls are smooth. (I've been using the Steam Controller). A really awesome arcade soundtrack also. Different game modes, Steam Leaderboards and Steam Achievements. Game feels solid and well made. 10/10. Awesome Steam game.
absolute trash. I'm so disappointed. I wasted my money....
refound for no controler support this game didn´t run well
Eight Dragons certainly has already come a long way since it's first Early Access launch back on April 23, 2019! The team has been actively considering the feedback and constructive criticism provided by the growing community and the game is shaping nicely. At first it was a bit bare minimum, however it was still a solid experience game-play wise. Enemy collisions when thrown into other enemies has improved, Individual unique animations have been reworked for each character, the ability to pick up and throw obstacles is now present, the difficulty has been reworked, new level design elements have been added, and overall game-play mechanics have improved to further expand upon the decently executed engine that was built prior. This game has since seen consistent updates and it looks like it will get better and better as time passes. As of now the game is pretty fun, especially with multiplayer, which is this games main formula and it handles that well.
A lovely romp back through the 16-bit days of arcade beat-em-ups. Lovely music and challenging combat. I intend to play a lot more of this and hopefully get some 8 player couch co-op going as well.

As a long time fan of scrolling beat 'em ups, Eight Dragons brings the genre back to basics which it does with terrific style. I couldn't help but be reminded of Konami's Crime Fighters when I first looked at the game in motion, it just seems to capture something from that game and that era which is so vital when making a game like this. Dropping in subtle and not so subtle (the shop names! haha) references to old beat 'em ups was a really nice touch. I really enjoyed the back and forth elevator level that was an obvious nod to the first stage of Target Renegade. Loads of characters, a massive (for this genre) online multiplayer mode, multiple stories, it has the lot. A great game, one that fans of older arcade beat 'em ups will love!
