What players say
Pretty addictive beat-em-up, captures what it was like to play Double Dragon back in the day. Good times and great fun.
Such a great beat em up for those who enjoy it. I grew up in the 90's at arcades, this is a good one.
One of the best DD games, although the bighead art style is not my personal favorite. *** I only played single player and it was awesome. Many other reviews say the co-op is broken. I cannot speak to this, but single player works perfectly. Not a single crash or issue in 65 hours. Lots of replayability due to the following: Many unlockable characters from the series, including bosses. Permanent (for that attempt)...
