Double Dragon V: The Shadow Falls Longplay (Sega Genesis) [QHD]

Game Info --------------------------------------------------- Developer: Leland Interactive Publisher: Tradewest Year of Release: 1994 Game Review & Impressions --------------------------------------------------- The Double Dragon franchise is no stranger to spin-offs, but The Shadow Falls is definitely "out there" as sequels go. Side-scrolling brawling is replaced in favour of one-on-one competition, with a cast of characters that look nothing like the previous titles duking it out with swords, axes and other weird weapons. At its most basic level, this is a Street Fighter II clone masquerading as a Double Dragon game, but it feels distinctly pantomime-esque. The fighters look ridiculous, the special moves in effective, and the quest mode storyline just plain silly. Being generous, there is the faintest of hints that there's a playable game in here somewhere. The counter-attack system is somewhat intuitive, once you figure it out, but it's just so cheesy and haphazard an experience to truly recommend.
