Double Dragon Gaiden Scores Another Free DLC Character Pack In New Update

Hah, evil Marian? So we finally get Noiram from DD3 NES? Or is it Cleopatra from DD3 Arcade? 😆

Is this a good game? Been considering getting it for a while.

Don't see the point in this? It's the same levels over and over and over just nee characters?

Why don't they add new upgrades for the runs? New levels? New layouts? Something I haven't played 250 times already. I don't want to run through the same 4 levels AGAIN with the same upgrades AGAIN just with a different character.

@Ellie-Moo it is good and worth a buy in my opinion. I do also think the game could use a few more levels over characters but all in all I was happy with it. The 3 worlds you get each contain I think 3 stages within, with a boss battle on the 3rd level. It plays very well and can be challenging.

It's weird seeing Maximum held up as good now

After all the updates, this have become one of my favorite Double Dragon games.
Hope we get some DLC in the future, with more stages.
Love how the stages expand, depending on which one you start with. Usually start with the "Egyptian" stage, as it's (too me) the worst one.

@Ellie-Moo I am pretty big into Beat Em Ups. This is easily in my top ten or five beat em ups, definitely my favorite DD. When I first got the game, I swore it off because of the controls, but decided a few months later to dig in, and it was a huge pay off. Be warned the controls take some getting used to. Once you get over how it feels, this has one of the more modern and expressive fighting/combo systems out there. As others have mentioned, the levels can get pretty repetitive.

Im shocked they are still supporting this with free DLC. I would have hoped they would put more work into a sequel.

I saw this update on my ps5 last night. Just another reason to break out this game. It's a lot of fun.

@Ellie-Moo

It is. However, if you're expecting it to play like the older Double Dragons (like Super and DD2), you might be disappointed. It plays a lot differently. There is a certain rhythm to this game, and you have to learn to fall into that rhythm to appreciate what it offers. I recommend getting it on sale, that way you won't have to much remorse if it's not your cup of tea. As for me, I bought the physical version, I've put nearly forty hours in, and I don't regret it.

@Exerion76

Yeah, that stage is awful if you play it last or next to last - and Anubis is actually tough as nails at full power.

I won't say no to new characters but I think the roster is good as is now and I would like them to add some more stages, heck I would gladly pay for them given how much they already added to this game for free
But like I said, I'll gladly take a few new characters and apparently they'll be adding 4 more before the end of the year so I'll be looking forward to that

They already have four stages with three different lengths: why not include various campaigns? Perhaps each with all the short/medium/long levels? I'm not saying they should create new ones, but rather use what they already have.

@ShingoTamaiX Including an option to play all of the full-length stages seems like a no-brainer. I don't know why they haven't done that!

@Davestator Thank you. I actually don't like the gameplay for DD that much but do like everything else about the games (strange I know) so I think this is more appealing!

@Ellie-Moo

You're welcome. I hope you like it. It does have all the wild enemies and banging music that DD is known for, so maybe you will enjoy it.
