In terms of gameplay, Neon takes bits and pieces from several of the original Double Dragon games.
#DOUBLE DRAGON NEON ROXY SERIES#
We are talking about the series where the heroes went to Egypt to beat up Cleopatra’s ghost, and teamed up with the BattleToads.

In fairness, however, it’s 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, it’s 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 game’s “go hand” being clad in a Power Glove, even to the fact that many of the game’s bosses are obvious “homages” to other games of the era, like a boss that’s basically an evil Mega Man. Neon doesn’t even take itself remotely seriously, to the point where it’s 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.) Billy’s reaction of “Marion? Aw, man… not this again!” sets the tone for the rest of the game perfectly. Not long afterwards, it’s revealed that the Black Warriors are being led by the evil Skullmageddon, a “super lich” 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, it’s 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 it’s 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.
