Double Dragon Neon: Making Brawlers Rad Again

Double Dragon, and in particular, Super Double Dragon, is a series that was always played during hangouts and sleepovers when I was younger. To be able to play with your buddy and take out hordes of thugs was satisfying, not to mention enjoying the great soundtrack(s) and the crazy stories. It was a time when games didn’t need to be complicated and moving to the right was the only goal. Double Dragon Neon brings back the old school feel while still remaining to be engaging even after the nostalgia and novelty has worn off. Now, I’m not saying that every game needs to go back to the roots of gaming, but it is nice to play a title that throws you in a time machine for just a little bit. Sometimes, we just need to go somewhere else for awhile.
