This game is quite possibly the best .99 I've ever spent. The combat in this game is the best I've ever played in a side-scroller beat'em up. It almost feels like playing a side-scroller Street Fighter game with RPG-esque elements thrown in with shops found throughout the levels. Dodging and countering are very meaningful and give a real sense of achievement when you can successfully fight your way through a crowd taking very little damage or using the environment to your advantage. In addition to your own ability to combo through a crowd, you are also equiped with different "songs" that equate to abilities/magics, one being a passive buff and the other a special attack. I liked the brawler feel so I went with an absorb health/spin kick combo, it works really well to keep your health up and bulldoze waves of enemies. I really enjoyed the humor of this game, it really hit me in the right spot. The original version of double dragons was among the first games I ever got my hands on and played heck trying to get to work in our overused Nintendo. It feels even more fun to play it as an adult on here than it did as a kid. Even if you're not wearing rose colored glasses like me, this game will rock your socks.
