Double Dragon Trilogy App Reviews

I think its funny that one of the reviews for this says that its a loose comparison to the original Double Dragon. Uh, this is the original Double Dragon. The controls arent perfect, but this is a direct port of the original arcade games (for better or worse). If you played anything else called "Double Dragon", then THAT was the different version.

DotEmu has done a mostly clean job getting one of THE most fun games from the past into the wonderful world of iOS. The look is great, and you feel like its 25 years ago re-living these classics on the iPhone/iPod/iPad. Graphically theres nothing I can tell that is off or nothing that glitches here. Well done! The sound- very clear, and a bonus- not only the 8-bit Classic, but a modernized version of the soundtrack too! Sweet! The gameplay- OK heres where the game takes a hit: but...not in Single Player! Ill admit, my 30 year old fingers may not tap the screen well enough to be as good as I used to be, but maybe thats why they included MFi support for controllers. I have yet to test that but another clap for DotEmu to that. The gameplay seems little more "speedy" than I remember as well but again Im not sure if that is my perception. Heres the rub: CO-OP Multiplayer! When a friend & I recently were pumped to try this: it was UNPLAYABLE! Choppy, unsynchronized play not to mention you barely can locate the other player to even start the game! This comes down to a testing issue. Im not convinced they have thoroughly tested this portion of the game. We both have iPhone 6s running the latest iOS. Yes, even the latest iOS 9. This shouldnt be! Further, they were quite kind when I emailed them for support of this issue, but they only offered more credit for their games library, not a promise of resolution for this game. What a shame. I hope they pour into this. Im not mad at paying, because the game works for the most part- but your disappointment is doubled when you get a pal to play only to NOT be able to. 2 stars for not fixing any of the issues I reviewed in the last version.

I remember this game very well from when I had a nes and this doesnt have all of stage one and it cant believe it.

Nothing like my favorite games from the nes. Not the maps not the moves, not anything. Sadly uninstalled after about five minutes of play.

Great retro game. No crash bugs that I have found so far.

I got this game for its much advertised local multiplayer which does not work and still has Game Center integration ,I would give this zero stars for the same reason absolute waste if u want multiplayer

Real easy controls true arcade port! Worth every penny!

Dragon 3 has major issues with lag. Think Call of Duty on a celeron pc. If you like being killed over and over, this is the game for you!
