- 8.5It’s difficult to find flaws in Dan The Man, as the game is packed full of great platforming action, accessible controls, simple yet fun and addicting gameplay, and great sound, making for a mobile game you won’t quickly put down. Yes, there are ads, and yes, there a ton of in-app purchases which will quickly add up, so be prepared to bear through the push to purchase content.
- 9.0While the levels are perhaps a little too long for their own good at times, Dan the Man is a surprisingly solid and charming action game. There are occasional patches where it feels like it's just coasting instead of excelling, and the bosses could probably put up more interesting fights than they do, given how sparse they are. For the most part, however, it's an easy game to lose yourself in while it lasts. The controls feel good, the fighting is fun, and you'll certainly get your share of eye candy along the way.
- 9.0Dan The Man is old-fashioned beat ’em up fun of the purest kind, blended with classic platforming and sprinkled with a sense of humor. If no part of that formula interests you, it’s possible you might be new to video games altogether — in which case this would still be a nice entry point for you, so dive in anyway.
- 9.0If you’re a fan of action-packed brawler platformer games, then I recommend giving Dan the Man a try. It’s a perfect way to kill some time or just relieve stress — I mean, you’ll be punching a bunch of baddies in the face, after all.
- 8.0A bright and bold platformer that might be a little formulaic but does everything it sets out to do brilliantly.
Gamer reviews
Fist x Gun x Shuriken
A game with **Double Dragon,** **Metal Slug** and **Legend of Kage** combined. Fist fight with guns and shurikens, this game almost has it all. With quirky enemy animations that taunts Dan and Boss fights are the best. Pixel games is a plus for me, and this game deserves another point. Dan has it all. Dan is the Man!
It's like super Mario .... But with guns and missile launchers.
Great action beat em up game that delivers nice graphics, controllers and funny dialogues and acts. You dont expect a beat em up game that good on a mobile device . - gameplay : What makes the gameplay interesting is that you only use jump and hit button along with side Arrows. That doesnt mean you have few choices what to use ! Everything from super hit to down and up combinations makes the gameplay so funny and has a huge replay value because of the Gameplay. In this game you also has different game modes: adventure , story mode and survival and its for players who want more challenge . Speedrun material ? Definetely. All in all my personal beat em up game yet on the iOS device and it took me by surprise . This should Get much more attention.
