The great Beat'em up Double Dragon Neon from Wayforward is on 80% sale on Steam this week.

Double Dragon Neon is actually more a homage to beat'em ups like Turtles in Time and the 80's and 90's in general, than Double Dragon specifically, dut don't let that stop you from checking it out.
It's a great game, good satisfying combat, a light rpg system with skills and levling, funny humour, and truly amazing music.

yeah, def worth the $2

that said my only experience with it was playing it couch with a friend while getting drunk and it crashed on us 3 times over the course of like 1 hour. absolute cockblock as we were really enjoying it

it was a real bummer since we can barely find the time to play these days. just soured me out on it and havent touched it since

 

[Roto13]

Don't buy it, it's not very much fun.

 

[Nillansan]

Great game once you get the hang of it.

[dorikyasu]

Decent game with amazing soundtrack.

 

[kai3345]

Such a fun little game, definitely worth a purchase, especially at $2

 

[alf717]

Never really understood the appeal of this version. Seems way over the top for my liking from that trailer.

 

[JaseMath]

Playing to this song alone is worth the price.

well i believe the steam version is the only one that has online coop. so there's that

 

[gelf]

The game was merely "ok" for me but its worth it for the soundtrack.

 

[Ronabo]

Great game!

 

[Timu]

Bought it years ago though!!!

 

[BennyBlanco]

Was about to buy it and then realized I already have it. O steam. ¯\_(&#12484_/¯

 

[stuminus3]

Buy it at 80% off then head over to Virt's Bandcamp page and give him the rest of your money for the soundtrack.

 

[sixteen-bit]

I don't like the game much but virt did good with the soundtrack.

 

[yurinka]

Buy it, it's a great, fun game with many '80 homages, great art and a wonderful OST.

 

[thekonamicode]

It was free on PS+ a long time ago and I love this game! Also, it has a soundtrack for the ages.

 

[BPoole]

A game reeking of toxic masculinity and the objective is literally save a scantily clad damsel in distress? No thanks

 

[Miker]

I have it but I've put off playing it because I haven't been able to get a friend to come over and play it in co-op yet. How is it in single player? Is the co-op drop in/drop out?

 

[Zach]

Fun game. Worth it.

The great Beat'em up Double Dragon Neon from Wayforward is on 80% sale on Steam this week.

The core team that made this game went on to form Yacht Club Games (Shovel Knight)... IIRC this was the first time they all worked together on a project.

 

[Handsomejan]

bought.

 

[oxacillin]

Have they went back and fixed the online? If I recall if you played it and reach a certain point the game just lags and desyncs all the time leading to a lot of disconnections between friends. I tried to play with a friend and once we got to the 4th level we would constantly lag out and the game would disconnect all the time.

From what I've heard it was a port done by Midnight City that was also abandoned after the first patch that didn't fix anything

Oh yeah, I loooooove this song, soo catchy, best on the soundtrack by far!
Whenever I hear it I can't stop until it's over

Buying two copies now thanks. I'll let the thread know when I get to the toxic part.

 

[dragonzdogma]

Man! These deals are killing me,
Gosh I wish they would port everything to ps4 already

Buying two for online coop.

 

[Chakan]

Amazing game with a great soundtrack.

 

[golduck342]

Loved this game. Cheesy on purpose 80's feel. Will buy since I got it free on PS+

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Buying two for online coop.

Haha

For 2, it might be the right price.


Could folks who make these threads be troubled to post a link to the store page in their OP?

 

[IdreamofHIME]

That's 1.5 IGN points per dollar!


But seriously, great game. One of myost played PS+ games. People see it on my games list and its always the 1st thing they wanna play.

 

[Santar]

Haha

Can do!
I've never bought anything on the steam website so I just assumed everybody just looked up the game in the Steam client.

 

[PillarEN]

Hell yeah. Jake Kaufman is great.

 

[Skilletor]

I loathe how slow this game moves.

 

[OneEightZero]

Bought.

I wasn't sure if it was a good beat 'em up before now, thanks for the heads up, GAF. ^_^

 

[BadWolf]

The beat em up part of this game doesn't feel good.

 

[Regiruler]

WILL YOU STOP DESTROYING MY THINGS?

WHEN I SWING MY SWORD, JUST PUNCH ME AND I'LL STOP.

IGN review is shit. The reviewer literally says "the brawler genre is not very good anymore", why the fuck is he reviewing a motherfucking brawler then?

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Can do!

Appreciate that. I got it. 2 is low loss territory.
