It's one of the better new age beat em ups and the soundtrack is godlike. Easily worth it for 1.99.

I bought this game today, before I even saw this thread. The art style looks nice and I saw some sexy female enemies in there too somewhere 
I used to love playing Double Dragon I and II (or was it III?) on the Gameboy years ago. They were great games.

This is a game that seems kind of... not good, for the first level or so.
Then City Streets 2 kicks in and you're feeling it.
Then you learn to Gleam.
Then you level up and git gud.
Buy this game and try. Try to like it. Don't just dismiss it based on the first level. You need to play it differently than most brawlers, learn the systems. It's a great game.

Absolutely this. It really does have a learning curve, and you HAVE to get good at Gleam. But I eventually fell in love with it.
It's just a shame they didn't add those female Player Characters they show in the included production sketches.

Great game, even at full price. It's definitely a bit slower than the classics, which can make it seem bad at first, but learning how to use gleam opens it up a lot.
The Combo System is also very fun and enables some very interesting/moderately challenging combos if you desire

A bit of a letdown, personally. Doesn't touch the greatness of Nes Double Dragon II or the Snes one. But the soundtrack is great.

I love Double Dragon. Double Dragon Advance is one of my favorite games. The main thing that's preventing me from buying this is the whole Neon makeover. The art, character models and animation look kinda shit to me. Double Dragon to me always felt like The Warriors X Trouble in Little China with a hint of Fist of the Northstar. Not sure why they had to take this route instead of making it look more faithful to the original game art and covers.
Plus the gameplay looks a bit sluggish.

Got it free from PS Plus and felt like I paid too much.

At that price the game is definitely worth a buy. The soundtrack is pretty killer, and yes, Mango Tango is fucking AWESOME. Definitely had to search for that song right after I finished the level it was featured in.

For me personally, I tried it and didn't like it. Not terrible, not anything horrible - it just wasn't for me.

My friends had mixed feelings on how this turned out but I get the impression more because it deviates from what the original Double Dragon games were rather than anything to do with its quality. Plus it's two bucks so whateves, I'm in.
was there an online controversy over this at the time it came out or something
Sold me on it. Thanks!

I have to say, quoting the "toxic masculinity" poster (which is obviously bait, just look at the wording) to state that their review "sold" you on it is a little bit silly!
My wife commented on the dominatrix enemies when I was playing this, not in any real negative way but as a kind of "for goodness' sake" humorous remark. It's just in keeping with the the original games, it's very tongue in cheek stuff. WayForward have a thing for putting bouncy titty ladies in their games.

Logged into Steam to buy it but apparently I already own it. I should probably play it.

Considered it, but just assumed it was an awkward looking 3D update.
If you guys say it's good, I'll grab it later.

Super Double Dragon is the best DD I've ever played. Wish that was on Steam.
I thin this was the posters plan all along. Praising a game is fine, but making a fuss about it because it offends you is better.

I'm wondering if you play many video games? Your statement, "A game..." implies that there are not many games where you are a dude who must defeat other dudes to accomplish some goal for the betterment of someones life.
I award you 2/10 troll points.

I don't know what people see in Super Double Dragon.
That game is brutally unfun IMO.
Double Dragon Advance on the other hand, now that's a great entry.
DD: Neon is good too, just different.

Personally, I don't care much for Super Double Dragon either. Some might consider Neon too ostentatious for their liking, but I consider the style and scenarios of Super entirely too understated not only by DD standards, but for beat'em-ups in general.

My biggest piece of advice is to learn roll dodge / crit and get awesome at it. Once you do, the unfair difficulty of double dragon (aka very hard) becomes a freakin blast.
Also learning the absorb tape + spin kick tape lvled to 50 = you are doing it right.

Purchased it months ago when it had a slightly less price drop. It's a cool fun game.
Don't cheese it like that. Just makes the game horribly unfun.
