Visit FileForums The shredding guitar solos, upbeat synth melodies, and pop-fueled power-ballads are crafted with expert mockery. Even then, the only thing Double Dragon: Neon does exceptionally well in this respect is music. Granted, it does a bang-up job of nailing the goofy, fun tone of the ‘80s, and exaggerating it where necessary, but if you’re not obsessed with the culture of the time, the cheesy one-liners, outdated styles, and constant references to old action movies will be completely lost on you. This dedication to bygone design philosophies wounds Double Dragon: Neon because it compromises quality for the sake of nostalgia. In addition, the finicky combat demands precision Neon can’t achieve, so expect to punch a lot of dead air instead of bad guys when you’re not on the exact same plane. You’ll also suffer through frustrating enemy encounters that aim for you to fail, only to have to repeat an entire scenario from the start.

In those new levels you’ll encounter inept platforming segments, which don’t mesh well with Neon’s slow, cumbersome characters. The additional stages help fill out the original game’s 30-minute length, but only by about another 30 minutes, so you’re paying ten bucks for an hour of gameplay. There’s a laundry list of issues in Double Dragon that don’t sit well decades later, and Neon retains all of them. Everything around it is superfluous because none of those features contribute anything to Neon’s benefit. Yes, it adds new mechanics like unlockable special moves and shops for replenishing lost lives, as well as 3D characters, but at its core this is a loyal retro remake.

Much to its disadvantage, Neon never sets out to be anything other than Double Dragon.
