The neon colors are a reminder of “Miami Vice”, similar to what was done with “Grand Theft Auto Vice City”. But even with the new stuff in the game, it reminds you that it’s a game from the 80’s. It doesn’t really show as a remake, because there are so many new things in the game like upgrades, you can switch stages at any time, stances and special moves. This is obviously a new take on the game. This gives you an opportunity to level up your character before going in for another stage.
After that, you can notice that you can switch stages after finishing one. The second stage is also the first level where it gives you a taste of how to fight a boss. Here is where you upgrade your stance and special attacks. But the second stage makes it a little more difficult, but you will immediately notice something new, like the stores. The first stage just gives you a taste of how the game works. You can only use one stance or special at a time, but you can switch this at any point. You can either gets skills for stance or special attacks. One thing I noticed that is new is the tapes that are dropped.
You can even pick up weapons from your enemies to use against them. You can punch, kick, grab and other things to fight. Playing with 2 players is optional too (just how old games are). You play the game as a side scoller, same way it was played before. And you can’t use them immediately, you have to earn it. This was the first side scroller that I knew that had special button configurations to use specific skills. I love the idea that you have special moves depending on how you press the buttons. I remember my older brother is even better than me in terms of this game. I miss playing my old Nintendo Family Computer and playing it for hours on end. It kind of retells the story of what happened in Double Dragon 1 and 2, but it did shorten up the entire story for convenience and they did a lot of original things along the way. The newly released Double Dragon Neon is not really a remake, but a reimagining. Double Dragon was a side scroller beat em up game that was released in 1987.
