Dragon Bros Reviews

Good game for the price tag. Seems like it would be an unusual rip off of super smash bros by the title but it's not, it's just a really solid side-scrolling shooter. That being said, there are only 12 different levels, four of which are bosses, so there's not a huge amount of content to go with. Furthemore the timers are janky as hell, which doesn't really affect a whole lot besides the respawn times in co op, (which never seems to be the same twice, sometimes they respawn instantly, other times it takes more than five or maybe ten? seconds) and spikes and stuff seem to pop up at irregular intervals. But on the flip side, the shooting is really good, controller support actually works, and the music is catchy.

i was well on my way to adding this to a small favorite list, its a neat little shoot'em'up will some ?zany? story and odd character designs. I loved the gameplay, hell, even with the controls that wouldnt register or would plain lockup in an infinite scrolling state untill you died. but jesus fucking christ those last levels were terrible. i had loved the idea of traps moving to the beat of the music and such. It was a fun creative touch filled with hope and naivity that was immediatly taken out back and beaten bloody with a rusty crowbar by a soured attempt of "fun" by the time it reached 4.1. The music that works against the level design as im guessing was an attempt at a difficulty ramp was bullshit. floors that stayed in a pattern until the barely audible second bass dropped randomly pulling the ground out from under you a half second after it spawned. The third randomly shooting knife from the ground when otherwise it would hit twice with the beat at a time is fun untill your in the middle of a bullethell firefight in CQC and it takes 3/4 of your health in a single hit. and what the flying fuck was that final boss? spoiler alert yall itll burn your fucking eyes out. ignoreing the fact of the boss design having anything to do with the "story" but the fuckin rave lasers flashing along with the backgoundenemystarDJWTFeveritis slowly losing color until your eyes are bleeding from the monotone always contantly flashing bullshit that has filled up the screen. Plus the game still says early access even when steam says diffrent is...worrying. but good goddam does this thing need more than a bit of polish

I played alot more of this game at Playexpo and talked to the devs about it too. Dragon Bros is fantastic. Great, fast paced shooting thats VERY challenging at high difficulties. After beating the boss the devs deemed too hard for the second time they put me on Nightmare mode, which is literally 2 hits and youre dead. The game rewards exploration too, many times I climbed a structure or went into an innocent looking hole to find shotguns and such, which I wholly recommend remembering for harder difficulties as clearing out mob zones is punishing when you die in 2 hits. Pros: Flowly brilliantly Graphics are good and cheerful Guns are well placed about the map Enemies are never unfair Cons: Shottie, while very satisfying, have no ammo at all. 7 shots is just not enough When holding aim mode and jumping, you have to wait til you land to exit aim mode, which can kill you at high difficulty I liked Nightmare, but 2 hits is a little too steep a penalty considering the enemy health buff it comes with. I wish the walk animation wasnt so simple

Gorgeous 2D shooter in a good styles with great music. I'm a fan of this type of game, and it was very nice to play this game. Thanks to the developers. RUN & GUN.

Nice and compelling old style run&gun. It does exactly what it promises: a progression through levels full of robots to blast with a variety of increasingly powerful weapons. PROs: Weapons and explosions feedback Music tunes Tiny "fat" dragons design Robots design (some of them are fun to observe as they look really dumb) CONs: It can be repetitive, the longer your game session is the more you're gonna notice it

This is a really great old-school run-and-gun platformer with adorable dragons wielding various sci-fi firearms. It's immense fun to play, it looks great, the controls are tight. The best thing about it, though? The music! The soundtrack is absolutely incredible!

Why does any game ever insist on forcing you to not have the default common wasd layout for player one? F2 does nothing for some reason at the keybind screen. I assume that's supposed to be a swap button for the 2 columns. Oh well, some how I played 8 hours a few years ago. Now that I'm clearing the backlog & seeing this game fresh, how beautiful it looks & how amazing the music is, yet it's done for & I can't recommend it because I'm not left handed & can not play using the arrows with my right hand.

Sucks that this game has been abandoned for 7 years and is still barely noticed these days. Despite its crowdfunding failure and unoptimized controls, the gameplay was geniuely amazing. Not to mention that the soundtrack slaps so hard. The highest difficulty was frustrating most of the time, because some parts didn't feel balanced at all, but I might understand the point of it being that painfully difficult lol I reccomend playing this game with a controller, as you may also need to download and use an input mapper, like DS4Windows. Only if the developers could remake this game, which would be very interesting seeing it being expanded... And of course, I'm a fan of playing as dragons as usual.

Great game, loving it so far and I'm not usually into this type of game! Great work guys, can't wait for more updates! For people looking to buy this game: The game in single player takes control of one of the dragons and you manouvere across levels that contain some platform elements but coupled with the high-paced action it makes for great fun. Keep in mind that the game is difficult in single player, it is meant to be a challenging game! They have local co-op and that works for keyboard too which is great. Cons: Sometimes the camera feels a bit close for the action That's all i can say for now! Apart form that it is a great game! 9.5 / 10 so far

This game has a fair bit of promise to it. The plot is sadly barebones/nonexistant as of this time and you're unceremoniously dropped into the action; great if you want to just jump into the action, less great if you want to know why you're a dragon kid going around shooting everything up. The gunplay feels really solid. The base gun isn't bad, though one-shot-per-button-press is pretty annoying. If it would slowly autofire (with the Ultra Combo system letting it go into hyperdrive) with the option to button mash for hairy situations, that'd be much more enjoyable to me. Other guns feel really satisfying (especially the shoulder-mounted Laser gun which makes your char grin in glee when wielding.) Boss fights are definitely pretty enjoyable, good rhythm between dodging bullets, dealing with mooks, and trying to find moments to unleash hot lead into them. Music is also pretty good and solid overall if you like chiptunes. Overall I'd say if you love Contra run-and-gun action, pick this up. EDIT: The autofire addition was patched in, as was being able to swap away from the big guns to save ammo. Always awesome seeing devs listen to reviews!
