Gameplay
SHOOT SHOOT - DIE - SECRET PASSAGE - ROLL - OH NO IT'S A TRAP!
There are a dozen kind of enemies. Some are just shooting at you, other lob at you, some fly around and drop bombs, some have a shield in front of them, some fly and shoot, some are slow but very resistant, some are sniping you, some punch you etc.
Use the map to travel freely through already completed levels and improve your previous high score.
You can collect power ups along the track (machine gun, super laser, naval cannon, heath pack, etc.). Every act of destruction rewards you with scraps (score). Use them to unleash your weapon super powers for a few seconds: bigger bullets, bouncy projectiles, increased range, higher damage, larger splash area, secondary effects, etc!

Dragon Bros reviews and comments

Product received for free Dragon Bros is a beautiful platformer with its flaws from Space Lizard Studio LTD Dragon Bros developed by several enthusiasts from Liverpool, which is located in the Uk. It is known in narrow circles because of such games as Yelly Chicken and Vampires, Guns & Rock'n'Roll. The Game was released on September 16, 2016. Its Price is $5.99 in the CIS countries and 199 rubles in the territory of Russia. The Game has achievements, collectible cards and cloud saving Steam Cloud.
You know, when I was going to play Dragon Bros, I knew I wouldn't be able to paint anything in detail, as the game is the most common platformer with the elements of Beat'em'upp. We will Play for the little representatives of the race of dragons who want to liberate their kidnapped mother, killing hundreds of unfriendly robots, who just want to kill you in return.
The Game runs on a linear level, with platforms on which you can become and shoot off enemies. Later, after passing the nth part of the level, you will be in a closed location, which resembles an arena in which the bloodthirsty enemies are all over. As in most games with this genre, the main player has a strip of super-ability, which he replenishes killing enemies. And What can be super-ability? Of Course It is the acceleration of the shooting for a while, which makes you Rambo for a couple of seconds.
Also banal thing for this genre-power-up's. They are the first aid kits and various weapons that shoot different projectiles. No, shells do not need to be searched, they will be given to you always in limited quantity when using power-up'a.
When you select a level you will be given a choice on what difficulty you'll pass this level. All in the Game 6 levels of difficulty. They differ only in the number of enemies and their damage, nothing more.
In The game there is a system of Checpointtov that simplifies the game before you can not. The Game is too casual, even in spite of the brutal bosses who can smear you on the wall in a couple of seconds. But you know, after 1-2 trying to kill the boss, you still kill him and forget that he even existed. And in co-ops on two players all enemies seem small bugs. Unfortunately in the game there is only a local co-op and split screen. There is No online co-Opa here. And This is really sad, because it is not always possible to invite a friend to his home and play a variety of platformers.
And now I'll talk about the main failure of Dragon Bros-management. Control of the game is just terrible. I never thought I'd say that, but still, playing the keyboard in Dragon Bros is more convenient than the controller. And I think that Dragon Bros-platformer, not a strategy or what is a serious shooter. Yes, you can change the keyboard layout, but there are only 3 templates for the gamepad, which differ only by the location of the jump and super-ability. Walking and aiming is carried out on the left stick. When shooting from a weapon with an angle of 45 ° you have to press a special button responsible for stopping the main character. If It doesn't seem so inconvenient to you in words, just download the demo version of the game from the Dragon Bros home page on Steam and try the control yourself.
An Enormous part of the work was done by the art designer and artist of this game, because the game looks great. Something reminiscent of old games with NES and something shows that the game is not old and has modern ambitions. However, by tradition you can evaluate the graphical component of the game yourself, you just need to see the screenshots on the main page of this game on Steam.
Verdict: Trying to create your own Kontra with a new mood and a more cartoon story. This is a good platformer, but Dragon Bros does not bring anything new to all the gameplay and even with terrible control for the controller. I feel Very sorry for all the owners of this game on consoles.
Rating: 6/10 Solid Six for beautiful graphics, classic gameplay and a good level-design.
