Re: Mini Review: Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons (PS5) - A Roguelite Answer to Repetitive Beat-'Em-Ups

This is the best Double Dragon released in a long time. Initially, i was turned off by the artstyle, but the music slaps and the gameplay more than makes up for it. It comes off simple at first, but its surprisingly deep. Add that with 20 characters to master & thats loads of content. I love rougelite elements bc they always encourage different playstyles. This is a STRONG 8.5/10 for me and i would say its a top 5 modern beatemup.

Great game, incredible roster...but the beatemup enthusiast in me find a few things annoying & hard to unlearn:

GRAB/THROWS: I'm used to walking up and grabbing the enemy with ANY character instead of locking it to one button with SOME characters.

RECOVERY: Maybe im just unaware but i havent figured out a way to land on my feet just yet. Its usually with the jump button right before you land..

These aren't negatives and I appreciate MCI trying to seperate from other beatemups, but I honestly feel these are genre standards at this point.
