One of the things I enjoyed the most was a homage to Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventures when you complete a level. Musically, the soundtrack is pure ‘80s goodness. Though, maybe I could’ve guessed the ‘80s vibe via the Neon part of Double Dragon Neon. An era that I’ve not experienced first hand, due to being a ‘90s baby, but I’ve always thought the over the top colours were a strong vibe. You have to make sure you’re rolling away just before you get hit, as sometimes you can’t put an enemy into stun before they hit you.Īesthetically, it’s ‘80s all the way. It’s simple, but it’s satisfying and there’s a nuance. The combat is mostly what you’d expect from a beat ‘em up, mash button until your enemy is knocked down, rinse and repeat. I died before long and realised that maybe just mashing my head against the controller wouldn’t work out in the end.

Shockingly, my first run through the first level of Double Dragon Neon ended in disaster. If you told me Double Dragon would have stats and abilities, I’d never have believed you. Not only that, but you can equip various archetypes that change your stats, making you tankier, increase your magical prowess, as well as various other changes. Magic is a thing in Double Dragon Neon, with your character having the ability to shoot off fireballs, and various other magical and non-magical techniques.

Turns out I wasn’t massively off in terms of gameplay, though there are some interesting additions that I didn’t predict. Let’s see how 30 minutes of it feels and whether I’ll come back to it after this is over! Hell, I don’t even remember buying it, but it’s sat in my Steam library. I’ve thought about giving Double Dragon Neon a shot for a few years now. The old games were kind of brutal, which, if Double Dragon Neon is as brutal, I can see myself bouncing straight off it because if I’m not making progress in a game like this, I’m just going to give up on it. Due to its 2012 release year, I’m hoping there’ll be a lack of the modern-day trappings we’ve come to love and hate, oh, and almost definitely more balance. It’ll almost definitely be a lot more visually interesting because technology has come a far way since the original Double Dragon games. I’ll be honest, I’m mostly expecting a shiny version of the old games.
