Eight Dragons

[h1]200 character summary[/h1] Eight Dragons is a nice classic inspired beat em up game that you can play with up to 8 players locally, It has 8 different characters a story mode and an arcade mode, It also has a nice soundtrack. [h1]Story & Characters [b]7/10[/b][/h1] There is not much of a story, The game has a story mode but it is not much different from arcade mode with a small scripted dialogue when you start and a short slideshow at the end. All characters do have their own story, Their own order of 5 levels, In multiplayer these stories will combine in 1 story and you will have to play some more levels. There are 8 playable characters, I like the looks of the characters, they are all very different, But they lack a bit of dept, Who are they, what do they do? Why do they fight? The animations could be a bit better. [h1]Gamemodes & Gameplay [b]8/10[/b][/h1] The game has a few different gamemodes, The Story mode will set a path depending on which characters are playing. Arcade m...

If you are lucky enough to have 7 other friends then you are in for a real treat, but having said that I had a blast playing this game solo. Anyone who has played Double Dragon or Renegade will feel right at home. The retro style graphics and it's 80s style aesthetic takes you back to those days of at the arcade or loading tapes on your Amstrad . With constant updates being rolled out, this is certainly one to keep an eye on.

This is a fun game that the developers are actively working on. Double Dragon with a good sense of humor. Weapons, clean, crisp retro graphics and satisfying action.

Ok where do I start with this little gem of a game. ok I know.... This game is sooooooo much fun it is unreal, It has been a long time since I enjoyed a game this much. Everything from the sound effects to the controls just oozes the 90`s. Graphics: Graphics are very retro pixel style with the details of the levels been akin to one of my all time favourite games on the spectrum target renegade. The animations of the characters are fantastic each player character having their own unique style. Sound: They sound like they have been ripped from the 90`s from the cracking fists to the crunching of been kneed in the family allowance. They fit the ambience of the environment very well and are just what you expect a 90`s brawler to sound like. Control: The controls for the game are confusing at first but once you get used to them become second nature. The character auto turns towards the nearest enemy enabling you to give devastating attacks to the enemy. With each character having thei...

It's still in early access, but this is already one of the best fighting games i have played. It looks and sounds like it is right out of the nineties, my era, like a Streets of Rage game that Sega or the other publishers never got around to making. I really love it for that, and so many other reasons. Its a shame there are not more games of this style. With One or Two players it is a kind of tactical game where you pick off the enemies as quickly and as efficiently as you can. You cannot just wade in hammering that fire button. You have really got to think about it. Do i go left first or right first ? With four players, it starts to get proper crazy. The big tactics soon go out of the window and you just brawl your way through each baddie just to survive. I can just imagine what it would be like with eight players. WOW !! Crank up the difficulty and it is tough but not to the point that it is unfair and you are always getting hit. There is usually a tactic you have to find when it ge...

Played a fair few hours of this with some mates the other day! It's a solid couch co-op game with great music and a really nice art style! It gets fairly spicy later on, which is perfect for couch co-op. Definitely recommend picking this one up for a fun time with some pals!

absolute trash. I'm so disappointed. I wasted my money....

Probably the best Target: Renegade/Double Dragon retro style remake game I've played. The graphics are beautiful and the controls are smooth. (I've been using the Steam Controller). A really awesome arcade soundtrack also. Different game modes, Steam Leaderboards and Steam Achievements. Game feels solid and well made. 10/10. Awesome Steam game.

If you love classic beat em ups you'll love Eight Dragons. Very simple controls makes it easy to play, I really enjoy the pixel art that gives it that classic 80s feel. You can play with up to 8 people on screen at once, I haven't been able to do it but it sounds insane. No online, but there is a leader board that tracks your scores in the arcade mode. The developers are making slight updates to the game and take community feedback. Definitely give Eight Dragons a chance.

Not as good as Renegade or Target Renegade on the 8-bits. It just doesn't feel right. Too many keys. Enemies taking hits when they shouldn't do - ie. when I'm kicking in the opposite direction. Back-kicks and flying-kicks look rubbish. Enemies follow too closely when I move - There should be a slight delay. The game started in a resolution which didn't fit on my screen, and then the alternative resolutions offered are bizarrely limited. My monitor is 1680x1050 but this was not supported. Even 1920x1080 is not supported. Mouse pointer stays on the screen when the game is in play. On the positive side, the game looks nice. Sounds are ok too.
