Add Video or Image

Top Pro

Good touch screen controls

The virtual dual stick design makes for easy controls that never feel like they get in the way. While many games have had trouble with accurate touch controls DH4 has no issues and are a pleasure to use. See More

Top Con

In-app-purchases hinder gameplay

Much of the best items in the game can only be purchased with currency that is too difficult to earn. This makes for players that are better equipped if they pay for their items instead of earning through play. An unfair advantage to those with money. See More

Controller Support:MOGA / Shield

Genre:Action / RPG / Hack n' Slash / Dungeon Crawler

Top Pro

Fun local co-op

Double Dragon Trilogy

Top Pro

Casual story mode

There are two modes in the game, arcade mode and story mode. While arcade mode is a bit hardcore due to limited continues, story mode allows the player to play any cleared level casually in order to improve or just play their favorite stages. See More

Top Con

No three player mode

Even though the game supports two player co-op over bluetooth, there is no three player co-op supported despite the fact that DDIII originally supported three player co-op in the arcade. See More

Specs

Steam Rating:Mixed

Top Pro

Cool emulation options

Players can add in scan lines, remixed music as well as change the button sizes on the screen. This is great for those that are used to similar options in their own emulators as often ported games that run in their own internal emulator often do not offer such a bevy of configurations. See More

BLAZING STAR

Add Video or Image

Top Pro

Requires planning and skill

Being originally designed to each quarters in the arcade the game makes the user focus on survival in their upgrades over mindless shooting. This means the player needs to plan out their strategy if they want to survive till the end of the game. See More

Top Con

Sluggish touch controls

The touch controls feel as though they lag with the ship movement feeling a bit behind what the user is trying to make the ship do. This can make for a frustrating experience due to how precise one needs their actions to be in this SHMUP. See More

Top Pro

Assortment of ships

There are six ships that the player can choose from, each having two attacks, a charge and a regular one. Each ship looks and shoots differently, some offering defensive options while others offering offensive weapons, which allows the user choice in how they prefer to play. See More
