I'm posting this because the game deserves all the attention it can get. The dev's youtube channel only has less than 300 subscribers and that, is a tragedy for such an amazing piece of work. I don't even have any idea how I stumbled upon it.
Legend of the Double Dragon is a reimagining of Super Double Dragon made by Mahcneto/Mr. Q in the OpenBOR engine, and it does many things not seen before in other games using the engine. Some of them even not made in other beat 'em ups before at all!
By pressing one the shoulder buttons on your controller, the Dragon Twins can change to other fighting styles based on the earlier DD games, but that's just the tip of the iceberg, by tapping one of the attack buttons before the style-switching animation ends, you can perform a myriad of new, different moves and combinations, giving the game immense variety as each style has their own style switch attacks.
There are coop moves, new moves for the enemies, expanded stages based on the unfinished SDD game, etc. The creator also loves Killer Instinct and implemented a few combos that are performed similarly, complete with the KI announcer. there's a third unlockable character with even more crazy moves.
The game's complete version just released a few months ago, and he's already working on revamping the game, so much is changing that it's going by a different name: Ultimate Double Dragon.
Then, on september 1st, an unprecedent announcement:
That's right, Koji Ogata, who worked for Technos and was involved since the very first Double Dragon game for the arcades, is going to do new enemy sprites for the game! He's not gonna work for free, though, so support from the fans is needed. Mr. Ogata is tackling Abobo first (the most iconic enemy missing from Super Double Dragon) if enough funds are reached he might even do more enemies.
Really this guy deserves to be picked up by Arc System works and help them make amazing DD games. Puts Double Dragon 4 to shame.
I didn't link to the game directly (I don't know if that's allowed) but you can easily find your way to mahcneto's blog in the description of the videos from his YT channel.
