Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons Review

Double Dragon Gaiden works simultaneously as a celebration of the series and as an entry point to beat ’em ups.

Trine’s dated physics engine makes it feel unique and memorable.

I give Bloodroots high marks for its narrative and ludic cohesion, bevy of improvised weapons, and slick visual style.

Cosmic Star Heroine is a great combination of old school aesthetic sensibilities and new school design philosophies.

Unsighted’s time limiting mechanics make me feel for its characters in ways that pushes it towards the top tiers of greatness.

Guacamelee! is a fantastic change of pace for players who want to add some beat ’em up spice to their non-linear platforming.

Gun Crazy is structurally incoherent and a visual mess. I can’t recommend it at any price.

If I were to forget why non-linear platformers are my favorite videogames, I would only need to sit down with Xeodrifter.

Though its purported goal of representing real history is mostly a gimmick, Wulverblade is a solid and bloody beat ’em up.

Airoheart is too inexpertly crafted to be enjoyable.
