Double Dragon GaidenĪ beat ‘em up with roguelike elements, Double Dragon Gaiden’s main gimmick (aside from being able to tag between your two chosen characters for massive combos) is that you can choose how you want to tackle the game’s four gangs, with the other gangs becoming tougher and tougher as a result of you knocking them off the board. Four gangs have taken over, and its up to our heroes to restore order to the city once and for all. Leaning heavily into the post-apocalyptic silliness that some might not be aware has always been a part of Double Dragon lore, Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons sees Billy and Jimmy Lee joined by friend/shared partner Marian, and newcomer and mentor Uncle Matin contend with a growing criminal element in the ruins of New York City. After a few years of the main spotlight though, Arc Sys have handed Secret Base the keys to create Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons, and the results are fantastic. Fortunately, Arc System Works seems to be doing an excellent job of rehabbing this once great name in the beat ‘em up genre, even if it’s mostly by releasing retro compilations or having the iconic dragons make appearances in games like River City Girls.
The adventures of the Lee twins have been sporadic over the years, whether they’ve been referred to as Billy and Jimmy, Bimmy and Jimmy, or “dem dragon dudes”.
