To put this review into context, I spent $100 to play Forza Horizon 4 a few days early instead I spent three of those days trying to beat Double Dragon. I spent $100 to not play a game I’ve been waiting two years for, to play Double Dragon.
There’s so many flaws with this game, the graphics are pretty poor even for the NES, there’s insane flickering when 2 or 3 sprites are on the screen, there is no real style or good soundtrack, even the gameplay isn’t great considering they have you play some of the worst platforming sections jumping using the a + b button, there is no use for the punch and all you need is to spam kick.
So why would I subject myself to this, I’m not sure. The first two levels are simple and honestly boring, but the insane difficulty spike on mission 3 compelled me, it forced me to play so smart, to memorize each screen and plan every movement. It was a lot of cussing and smashing the b button of my switch into dust but I did it, I got to the final screen and I felt more accomplished than I have playing a game in a while.
