The Lee Brothers Are Back in Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons - Hardcore Gamer
In the year 199X New York City has been laid to waste by nuclear war. Criminal gangs have overrun what remains of the city, turning the once bustling metropolis into a dystopian nightmare. That is until the Double Dragon brothers, Bimmy Billy and Jimmy decide to take the city back for themselves. This the setting for Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons, the newest and upcoming reboot of the popular beat ’em up franchise.
Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons has the series returning with its side scrolling roots but adds a tag team twist. Each player will select two of the game’s unique 13 playable characters which include main men Billy and Jimmy Lee along with Marian as a firearms expert and Uncle Matin with his trusty riot-shield. The player will use tag team mechanics to seamless swap fighters in the middle of the fray and two player local co-op only adds to the action.
A dynamic mission select feature alters the course of each playthrough: the order in which a player chooses their missions will effect the length, number of enemies and overall difficulty as they fight through different city sectors while hunting dangerous gang leaders. Cash is earned through beating their enemies senseless which can be used to uplock powerful upgrades for each character. Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons is scheduled for release later this year for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Switch, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S.
