Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking exploration or puzzle-solving as the main activity may find the repeated beat ’em up combat too narrow.
- Those who do not enjoy chaining attacks through groups of enemies may hit a wall in the core fights.
- Players looking for a quiet, nonviolent game will not find that in its combat-focused structure.
Our take on Double Dragon: Neon
The bounce point is the combat loop: players who do not enjoy chaining attacks, switching among weapons, or combining abilities will encounter the game’s central system immediately. New locations alter the setting, but the main activity remains fighting through enemies.
