What drives the score
How to read this
Every input gets a grade, S to D, read from the buyer's side. The score is multiplicative, so an input only counts as raising when it sits near the top of its own scale. Anything with real room left is holding the score back, because that room is the gap to 100. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. The exact weights stay secret.
The value story
The lowest price on record is $0.99, set in November 2015. 59 discounts in the 13 years on record. They run about 65 percent off, roughly 8 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 13 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 8 weeks.
Value puts it in the top 20 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 70 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 75 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Streets of Rage 4 ($24.99, scores 81) beats it on value, while it beats Double Dragon Trilogy ($5.99, scores 0).
1 of the 398 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here comes from a buyer who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 56 percent of the 469 reviews written there were positive, against 77 percent overall, and those are 25 percent of everything written about it.
HowLongToBeat players log 3.6 hours as a typical playtime, and completionists log 13, 3.7 times as much.

What players say
I grew up with the original Double Dragon. This is a funny take on it. I am not playing this game for nostalgia; I am playing it for the fun factor. I like that I can play it online with my friends.
This game doesn't run right now in July 4th, 2026. A lot of games are probably gonna keep having this problem all the sudden.
Player reviews from Steam: the most helpful all-time, plus the newest that clear the same quality bar, with the hours each player had put in when they wrote it. The mix of Recommended and Not recommended follows the game's Steam ratio. Rotates daily. Opinions are theirs.

Double Dragon: Neon scores 44/100 on the BANG Score (a skip). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/252350/double-dragon-neonThe BANG Score is one number for value, 0 to 100: price against how it reviews and how long it was built to be. It answers the money question and stops there; whether the game is for you is still your call.
Reviews set the ceiling and price moves you inside it, so a cheap game that reviews badly cannot climb. Ratings from few reviewers are shrunk toward the middle, so 100 percent from nine people does not outrank 96 percent from ninety thousand. Length comes from HowLongToBeat where it can be matched, measured against a per-genre floor so a five-hour narrative game is judged against other narrative games rather than against a sixty-hour RPG. Where no verified length exists the score says so and carries a dock, because the biggest input is then a guess. The full method, including where it is weak → Steam reviews as of Sep 20, price as of Sep 24.
