A delightful throwback to games like Sunset Riders and Mystic Warriors. Deathwish Enforcers is a simple and fun game that just has fun with the concept of not only SSR style games but also 80s action movies and offers pretty much the best of both worlds. I highly recommend this game to retro players and retro action movie fans alike. Does it bother anyone else that most of the good ideas seem to be in the past?

When the game isn't frustrating due to the lack of knowledge,it's boring for the same old,same old game play. You have to figure out for yourself how to even find the stores in the ship and the mission objectives can be very vague about what they want. If you're going to play this game,expect the same griefing ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ that always plague any game with friendly fire always on and the morons who always seem to throw out an airstrike just when you're advancing on an enemy position. If you want any information on just about anything,you have to look up community content,even basic information on controls and enemy information.

And in the end,you're just left with another shooter that turns into a grind fest with no real goal in site. And frankly,it gets less and less fun with each mission. Honestly,the bots and bugs can have Super Earth.

It's free. There's no reason not to try it yourself. Seriously,free game. Just play it yourself.

It's free and fun. Why do we even have reviews on free games? Just play the stupid thing yourself.

It's clunky,buggy,and multiplayer crashes a lot but I would say that Double Dragon Neon is a hell of a ride. It's a send up and celebration of the 80s,beat 'em ups,and cartoons. Skullmageddon seems like a crappy Skeletor rip off,but the thing is,he is! And that's what makes him great! Great character designs,both classic and new,great dialogue,and just a good time all around. This game deserves a place in your heart as well as your collection.

So yeah,this is one of those games where the themes and story and window dressing really does make up for it's short comings.

The long and short of it is,it's not as good as West of Loathing. And it's got a bunch of woke crap in it. So you can already tell this is probably going to be the last Loathing game that can probably be considered "good". It's ok. It's got some good stuff. But it's just not got the same spirit as the last game. I guess I just can't wrap my head around the idea of talking about gender politics when you're supposed to be battling Lovecraftian horrors. Though in all honesty,they're only Likecraftian.

And the character system is really scaled back. You have a lot less options than West and it overall feels more "on rails" and rushed. I don't know what happened with this game,but I bet the story behind it is better than this one.

It's a Genesis collection. It's pretty much like all the other Genesis collections. It has the same games. It's just on Steam now. Which can be handy. It doesn't have all the bonuses and extras of previous collections like the arcade version of Altered Beast or Zaxxon. That'd be good. A Sega arcade collection like Golden Axe: The Revenge of Death Adder and Spider-Man the Game. Hint hint.

Anywho,there's not a lot new here. You can play some of the Japanese and UK versions of some games. It's got the standard save states and all. On the whole,pretty mediocre. If you don't have a Sega Genesis Collection in some form or another,this is a good way to get it easy. The games are good,just been sold and resold in collection form alot.

Update: Just found out they removed most of the Sonic games from this collection. If you already own them,it's still there but if you don't,they can't be bought now. The reason is because they're now part of the Sonic Origins game or something. Personally,I don't see why you can't have it both ways.

It's the old Turtles games in one collection. Which is fun if you like old arcade,NES,SNES,and Genesis games. If that's not your bag,pass. If it is,grab it. Just don't expect the on-line coop to work well.

Ok,I'm going to be honest here. Most of these games have been released for years in various collections. For example,CAS1 and 2 have many games that were released in Capcom Classics Collection vol 1 and 2. And you can get those much cheaper. If you don't own a PS2,you can run them on a PS2 emulator. If your system can't run a PS2 emulator,it probably can't run this either.

Still,it's fast,easy,and you can try it for free to see if it runs right on your system. And it does allow remote play. But in the end,it's still just Capcom selling old games they've already sold you before. Up to you. Me,I prefer physical copies.

Well,it's a great game as far as I'm concerned. I got all the achievements. Yes,even that one. The one that only 1.3% of players unlocked. The one where you unlock all the moves for all the characters by mindlessly grinding at the survival mode. I don't know why this achievement is lower than Maniac or Perfect,but it is and I unlocked it. Get it,play it with your friends or just kidnap some enemies and force them to play with you. It's about as good a sequel as we're going to get in this day and age.
