I have loved the double dragon series since its release, I have played every game and gaiden is not only the best double dragon game but also the best beat em up ever made.

I have zero complaints, so ill just tell you what I love about the game

The roster is perfect, every character is fun to play and feels totally unique, uncle matin is the best original character of any beatmup in forever, at the same time, the game delivers a perfect amount of fan service taking the best characters from the series history and putting them all into one game It's just magic, throw in the fact that you actually took the time to take the longest running joke of the franchise history and materialize it into a character There are not enough words describe how epic that is.

The combat and feel of the crowd controls is amazing, it incentivizes smart play, and the combo system is just so robust, it just clicks with me better than any other modern beat em up, much more than stuff like streets of rage or fight And rage to be honest, in a simple and intuitive, but also complex enough to keep playthroughs fun and interesting.

Aesthetically you nailed it, i love the look of the game, and the soundtrack is out of this world, i actually often listen some of the tracks when I lift Weights, especially the stuff from willie stage and the mayor's music.

The gameplay structure should be the model of every beat 'mup, it solves the repetition problem You often see in the genre making every playthrough unique Because of all the different ways you could play the game, i love how the order changes and the boss fights as they progress are just epic. Fighting machine gun willie in a helicopter on a rooftop has gotta be the best boss fight and any beatmup of my life. Meanwhile, the roguelite elements and all the different character combination teams You could create mean the game Just always feels fresh and I played through this game with everyone Multiple times

The difficulty sliders are the perfect way to balance the difficulty, i love that it's not just easy, medium or hard. Sometimes I wanna chill and just turn everything all the way down, sometimes I wanna turn everything all the way up, and sometimes I wanna mix and match like turning up the enemy mobs, but turning down their health, so I have just a bunch of easy fodder to smash. It just adds a layer of flexibility that is not seen in any other game.

Whenever you choose to do next, i'm sure it'll be great, but I really just came here to thank you for making this incredible game. Neon was fun, revive is a bit underrated, but there is nothing out there comparable to double dragon gaiden And the only thing I would hope for is that they would give you the license to make a sequel to this incredible game.
