Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time

Nothing is more satisfying than grabbing a controller and beating the hell out of some nefarious henchmen. Whether clearing the streets of crime, grabbing an axe and pretending you’re Conan the Barbarian laying waste to enemies, or fighting it out as expert martial artists, very few experiences top blowing off steam with a buddy in a button-mashing extravaganza. With today’s release of Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons

I’ve been obsessed with the Mr. X Nightmare DLC for Streets of Rage 4 ever since it was released. Not only did the DLC add three new characters to the game (including my personal favorite, the ultra-buff Estel Aguirre), but it added a brand-new gameplay mode: Survival. Survival mode is a simulation that takes you through randomized levels. Everything, from the arena you play in to the enemies you fight, is randomly selected. When you clear a level, you can choose a perk for your character. These power-ups can increase your damage output, boost your speed, give you a super-powered weapon, or even summon a virtual buddy to fight by your side.
