Double Dragon Roguelite Is A Messy Blast From The Past
27.7.2023
From the outside, Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise Of The Dragons looks like everything I’d want from a retro revival of the classic arcade beat-em up series. It’s a 2D side-scroller that remixes the linear progression with roguelite elements and packages the whole thing with an appealing pixel...

2.6.2022

Quick, name a memorable modern Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game. It’s okay if you can’t, those turtle teens peaked during the age of the four-player side-scrolling beat-em up, which is why it’s so exciting that Dotemu and Tribute Games have teamed up to make a completely new old game for PCs...
