Bosses like Lady Okada are absolute run killers at the best of times, especially compared to base level Anubis, so do you take Okada out early and deal with an Anubis who’s so much tougher later on? Double Dragon Gaidenĭecisions like these aren’t the only ones you’ll have to make throughout your run, as at the end of each section, you’ll be able to choose from several upgrades for both of your characters, adding more layers to the game’s strategy. With three total sections per gang, you’ll need multiple playthroughs to see everything that the game has to offer anyway, but after you’ve done that, strategies will begin to emerge on how to best complete your run. New level sections, challenges and stronger enemies/bosses are all waiting for you as you progress through the run, giving the game a sense of both strategy and replayability.
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”.
