After you’ve kicked ass and taken names, your enemies might drop an assortment of loot. That’s not to say there aren’t special abilities to learn because there are. As a result of this, I felt the game quickly got repetitious. That wasn’t the case though and after 15+ hours, I achieved nothing. For instance, maybe I had to beat the game and meet specific conditions in order for new tactics to become available.
I thought perhaps these were locked behind certain goals. There’s a grab and several of the basic moves but that’s really it. However, the biggest issue I have with Double Dragon Neon is that we lose out on the variety. They can punch, throw, kick, and various other techniques. Normally, there are many moves that your character can learn. Unfortunately, I never felt that this lived up to the beat’em up moniker. It’s assuredly simple but the gameplay is where the meat of these titles lay. He gives chase and that’s it the adventure begins. As she disappears off-screen, Billy emerges from the garage, angered by what happened. The game opens with your girlfriend being punched in the stomach before being carried off. Now the question is: will it shine or will it flicker?ĭouble Dragon Neon is as corny as it gets, but it’s also a nostalgic kick to the gut. I never played it back then, but Masjesco and WayForward have worked together to bring the neon to Nintendo Switch in 2020. As time went on, it was radio silence by both until 2012 Double Dragon Neon released on the PlayStation 3. There’s something special about the cheesy storylines. Although my gaming diet consisted primarily of JRPGs, I’d always find time for a good beat’em up romp. They were both the juggernauts of the ’90s. The two franchises I recall as rising above the rest are Streets of Rage and Double Dragon.
For instance, beat’em up titles saw their popularity skyrocket. During those early days, certain genres seemed to prosper over others. I grew up as the industry was going through growing pains of its own. I was born in 1989, making me 31 years old.
