About

D.D. Crew is an obscure brawler from Sega that features realistic art, fluid animations, and a hip hop soundtrack. Its broken combat engine is defined by useless attacks, nearly invincible bosses, and hard-to-stun enemies. This is the only brawler where your normal attacks don't have crowd control.

I really wanted to like D.D. Crew. It has phenomenal animations, hilarious enemies, and a super-catchy hip hop soundtrack. But its combat is fundamentally broken. Most attacks are uselessly slow and have pathetic range, and enemies barely get stunned. Later bosses require extreme masochism, patience, and luck.
