In terms of gameplay, Neon takes bits and pieces from several of the original Double Dragon games.

We are talking about the series where the heroes went to Egypt to beat up CleopatraРІР‚в„ўs ghost, and teamed up with the BattleToads. In fairness, however, itРІР‚в„ўs not as if the series has had anything remotely resembling consistency when it comes to its own universe. For somebody used to the dead-serious martial arts action of the earlier games, itРІР‚в„ўs going to be a pretty big swerve. From the way Billy and Jimmy are re-imagined as a couple of goofball surfer dudes, to little touches like the gameРІР‚в„ўs РІР‚Сљgo handРІР‚Сњ being clad in a Power Glove, even to the fact that many of the gameРІР‚в„ўs bosses are obvious РІР‚СљhomagesРІР‚Сњ to other games of the era, like a boss thatРІР‚в„ўs basically an evil Mega Man. Neon doesnРІР‚в„ўt even take itself remotely seriously, to the point where itРІР‚в„ўs basically one big, good-natured parody of the series, its genre, and the entire decade that spawned it.

Not only has he kidnapped Marion, he also somehow managed to build himself a space station, a giant tank, and an advanced genetic research facility, yet somehow decides to antagonize two guys who punch people a lot instead of, say, the UN. (If you turn on the damage numbers, this particular blow apparently does 999 damage, somehow.) BillyРІР‚в„ўs reaction of РІР‚СљMarion? Aw, manРІР‚В¦ not this again!РІР‚Сњ sets the tone for the rest of the game perfectly.Р’В Not long afterwards, itРІР‚в„ўs revealed that the Black Warriors are being led by the evil Skullmageddon, a РІР‚Сљsuper lichРІР‚Сњ with the stylings of The Shredder and the voice of Skeletor. The game starts with the familiar scene of Marion getting slugged in the gut by a group of thugs, before being carried off. But even divorced from the franchise, itРІР‚в„ўs still a quality brawler that easily outpaces most other recent efforts in the genre. Their take on the series is like nothing the Double Dragon series has seen before in terms of style or gameplay, even if its goofy sense of humor might be a little off-putting to some fans.

So itРІР‚в„ўs really no surprise that it would eventually end up in the hands of WayForward, a company with a rather interesting history full of licensed games themselves. The Double Dragon franchise has been passed around to more developers than most people would even bother to count throughout the years, with some doing a better job than others.
