      Not a beat'em up title one so far, but if you are looking for a cool Ghost of Tsushima/Sekiro with an open world gameplay like wise formula, a difficulty selection, and an incredibly accurate character editor too, I warmly recommend Rise of the Ronin for ps5 Reverend.
      This due of the fact that there are two charas there as well, but instead than teaming up, they are one against the other at all. 🤙🏻

    Enjoyed the game but i wish it could have more challenge. They should let you spend leftover tokens in a hard arcade mode that has a lot of nice trophies and unlockable outfits , all stages and bosses, no power ups and no tag option if you want to play very old school. I do like the idea of Double Dragon being a tag team game, for the single players the "double" in the name has meaning again

  • @emanueletintori1229

    Well, this new free update has just gave to this game a second wind imho. Not only the new charas (especially Sonny Lee, Lau, and Ranzou) are incredibly cool, fun to play and learn, but the new modes have been giving more variety to this title, besides even the online mode it is a very enjoyable addition, not to mention that in jolly coop, it is even easier to unlock the in game tokens, although the overall difficulty it is always below the average one imho.🤷🏻‍♂️
    Now, I don't want to sound polemic on this matter, as you rightly said Savino bro, since this dlc is being free we should not watch the gift horse in the mouth, still I have got just a comparison to make here, Dotemu with her TMNT Shredder's revenge pay dlc, did better, why wayforward they could not do the same with their Double Dragon: Rising then?
    If they keep the price to a fair level, this title it could become a even more worthier beat'em up, with more stages and even more bosses to fight imho.
    Btw, back to the old/new charas to play, I am using Ranzou, I believe the fact that they made it similar to Shiva from Streets of Rage series, or it could be an actual tribute to him though, hence the reason of why he cannot pick up weapons on the ground since he is using his own katana blade, on top of that, some moves like the ninja slide and spinning attacks are very close to Shiva fighting style though.
    Excellent review, none than yourself he could definitely capture the essence of this ip, this video is just 🔥 bravo!

    • @beatemup
      @beatemup  4 месяца назад +1

      I believe this DLC was part of the original contract with Arc. Don't quote me there, but I have this impression. And I also believe Raymond did more than was previously accorded.
      While it is not on par with TMNT or SoR4, what we got is pretty fun. But yeah, it will be short lived thanks to the lack of unlockables. Playing just to prove yourself you are the one is not really for or most people, I think.
      Now, maybe we can get a paid dlc in the future... Who knows? I wouldn't complain.

      @@eyn85 os novos upgrades são bons pro final. Mas seria uma boa você aceitar a oferta dele de início e depois ir treinando pra passar da fase que é realmente braba de concluir.
      Eu recomendo treinar com a Marian, que tem umas estratégias muito boas, como deixar uma mina no chão, usar a ação dela pra rolar para trás dos inimigos e jogando eles na direção da mina. Feito isso só atirar até encher o especial e usar a bazuca, e com a mesma barra lançar outra mina caso tenha alguém perto.
      Outra coisa que ajuda é saber abusar dos ataques aéreos, que geralmente são ataques de derrubara. Dá um combo básico nos chefes perto da parede e eles vão bater e voltar. Se você pular e bater, eles vão bater e voltar de novo, possibilitando um infinito.

    Arc System Works isn't really doing anything with the Double Dragon franchise except milking the classic games.

      I beg to differ. Gaiden has nothing to do with Shredder's Revenge, aside both presentation being similar.

      It's the fluid 16-bit like graphics, cartoonish and colorful animation style, nearly the same sound effects when characters get hit, and has the same feel of gameplay.
      It's like ArcSys tries to desperately and unoriginally keep Double Dragon relevant by copying and pasting the most well-received beat 'em up comeback, which is TMNT's.

      But even if you're right, you are comparing the most superficial things possible on a beat 'em up. Who cares about the looks? What matters is gameplay and combat and if you have played Double Dragon there would be no way you would say both are similar.
