The controls feel fluid enough however some issues with the options menu did occur . theres also a decent variety with the `mini-missions` (screw it thats what ill call em) . Music so far is just upbeat as hell and the world that has been created does send loads of charm through the screen .Difficulty settings is thankfully from the start fully open for the players to mess around in and even without another player , controlling the 2nd dragon does create some strategy if you decide to use him .Overall a very great title for some sidescolling shoot em up madness .. 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 ♥♥♥♥ing 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 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥t. 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 ♥♥♥♥ was that final boss? spoiler alert yall itll burn your ♥♥♥♥ing eyes out. ignoreing the fact of the boss design having anything to do with the "story" but the ♥♥♥♥in rave lasers flashing along with the backgoundenemystarDJWTFeveritis slowly losing color until your eyes are bleeding from the monotone always contantly flashing ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥t 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. A fun game in the Metal Slug tradition. Terrific soundtrack.. 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!. 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 brilliantlyGraphics are good and cheerfulGuns are well placed about the mapEnemies are never unfairCons: Shottie, while very satisfying, have no ammo at all. 7 shots is just not enoughWhen holding aim mode and jumping, you have to wait til you land to exit aim mode, which can kill you at high difficultyI 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.
