Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons (PC)

Tokens are used to earn Characters, Tips, Art, Music
You can set Continue type to Infinite, Permadeath, 3 Tokens
You can adjust Player Health, Revive Cost, Upgrade Cost, Enemy Stats, Enemy Aggression.
Adjusting these will mainly affect your payout on Tokens to unlock stuff.

The roguelite aspect is very minimal. You can do any mission in any order. It's encouraged to try them all out in each session cause you can go through different paths/mid bosses depending on how you do the order of the stages. Some of the bosses even have a completely different gimmick/attack pattern at Mission 4. I have a preferred order so I don't do any of the gimmicky stage hazards that annoyed me.

At the end of each stage, you get a choice of power ups to enhance your characters.

Game is fun. I actually like to plan out and approach the enemies to kite them around to do Crowd Control. Doing successful Crowd Controls will get you Food pick ups. When you're at max health you can pick up the food for more money.

Majority of people are complaining about the part where when you do a Crowd Control it brings up a CROWD CONTROL graphic where it stops the gameplay flow a little to remind you that you did a CROWD CONTROL when the food item appears. This actually didn't bother me. This is one of many things that people are requesting for an option to turn this off/remove

My preferences of the characters: Billy/Jimmy/Uncle Matin/Marian
All the characters are honestly good in their own ways. You can't really choose wrong. Billy is basically my comfort character. Jimmy is a close second and I think Uncle Matin is awesome. Marian is fun but doesn't suit my style.

The final stage got me heated a little until I figured out the PRO STRATS. I was a little stressed for my first time but kept my cool.
The OST is awesome.

Verdict: This game doesn't suck. Certified GOGZero game. Double Dragon is slowly getting out of the pile of suck it has been drowning in since Double Dragon IV. You love to see it.

Double Dragon IV (PC)

I had an excuse to replay this game. This is one of the few games I own on Steam that didn't have a cloud save. Beat the game and unlocked all the characters again from the Tower Mode.
My opinion about this game still stands: This is still the most disappointing entry in the series.
