The more tapes you collect from fallen enemies, the stronger they get. Why did WayForward use mixtapes outside of the retro reference? Each power has a custom song clip, expertly parodying everyone from Depeche Mode to Rick Astley.
The other “Sosetsitsu” mixtapes are all special attacks that drain your magic bar, including fireballs, lightning strikes, and even a dragon summon. One offers a passive boost to stats alongside your choice of stronger weapons, a higher stun rate, and other bonuses. Billy and Jimmy can equip two tapes at any given time. At least the spin kick is well represented as part of the new mixtape system. I can’t believe that knees and elbows to the head are off the table here. Traditional kick and punch buttons are joined by a separate grab button, which is surprisingly only used for throws. The battle system adds new layers to the classic formula while retaining the signature simplicity. The main villain, Skullmageddon, is a lovably dorky mix of He-Man’s Skeletor and T eenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ Shredder.
The Lee brothers resemble a more ass-kicking Bill and Ted (of Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure fame) with their ‘80s surfer accents and propensity for high fives and air guitar.
DOUBLE DRAGON NEON LOGO FULL
I don’t want to spoil the surprises of where the wild and crazy story goes, but Neon is full of moments that will elicit fist pumps and laughter and is gleefully free of the constraints of reality. As is quickly evident, this is not the case – though the classic Double Dragon references are thankfully prevalent. You may think you’re playing a remake as you see your girlfriend Marian get punched in the stomach and kidnapped. For Double Dragon Neon, WayForward (Contra 4, A Boy and His Blob) and Majesco team up to offer a fresh take on Billy and Jimmy Lee’s brawling adventures while utilizing many classic elements. Since its arcade debut in 1987, the original Double Dragon has appeared on countless consoles, inspired a terrible cartoon show and movie, and spawned a mix of excellent and awful sequels.
