Ok where do I start with this little gem of a game. ok I know.... This game is sooooooo much fun it is unreal, It has been a long time since I enjoyed a game this much. Everything from the sound effects to the controls just oozes the 90`s. Graphics: Graphics are very retro pixel style with the details of the levels been akin to one of my all time favourite games on the spectrum target renegade. The animations of the characters are fantastic each player character having their own unique style. Sound: They sound like they have been ripped from the 90`s from the cracking fists to the crunching of been kneed in the family allowance. They fit the ambience of the environment very well and are just what you expect a 90`s brawler to sound like. Control: The controls for the game are confusing at first but once you get used to them become second nature. The character auto turns towards the nearest enemy enabling you to give devastating attacks to the enemy. With each character having their own unique fighting styles they have their own animations for each move they perform. Gameplay: For me this is where this game shines as when I first started playing the game it instantly took me back to when I played target renegade on the spectrum omg I loved that game and spent hours upon hours playing it. I love brawlers they have this charm that pulls me in everytime. Verdict: 7/10 The game is way too much fun and obviously been early access has features and stories currently been developed for it and I honestly can`t wait for the release of this game.

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....
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.
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.

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!
This is a classic little fighting game and very much reminds me of my mega drive days. The pixel artwork and retro music are both amazing, they really fit the theme and I love the clever "playing on a 90's TV screen" look. The game play is definitely challenging. If you're finding one character tough to play then try another - each one gets their own story and fighting style. The controls take a little time to figure out because of the overall difficulty level - you don't get time to make many mistakes, and button mashing won't get you far. But once you've got them down it gets a lot more interesting. The multiplayer is the best part, it makes for a great sofa game with friends. There aren't many games like this that accommodate 8 players either, so that is a big plus for me.
