If you made me choose between spending six hours playing Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons versus six hours watching the Double Dragon movie on repeat, I’d ask you to pass me the popcorn. At least the film is entertainingly bad and has Robert Patrick in it. Gaiden is simply bloody awful, and neither Patrick nor his little beard are anywhere to be seen.

Publisher Modus Games and developer Secret Base have announced Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC (Steam). It will launch this summer.

Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons is the first new title in the Double Dragon franchise, which began in 1987, since the 2017-released Double Dragon IV, which was developed by Arc System Works. For this new title, Arc System Works licensed the intellectual property to Modus Games.

Here is an overview of the game, via Modus Games:

Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons is a cooperative beat ���em up featuring tag team duos of fighters infused with roguelite elements to deliver classically informed, highly replayable Double Dragon-style brawls with a new edge that will revitalize the iconic franchise.

New York City in the year 199X: the city has been devastated by nuclear war. Its citizens fight for survival as riots, crime, and chaos flood the streets. Criminal gangs terrorize what remains as they vie for dominance. Unwilling to endure these conditions any longer, young Billy and Jimmy Lee take it upon themselves to reclaim their city.

Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons gives players incredible, seamless tag team abilities and a multitude of strategies for devastating combos, defensive, and offensive moves across the game’s 13 unique playable characters.

Series icons Billy and Jimmy Lee are joined by Marian, returning as a fully realized, firearm-wielding ranged fighter, and newcomer Uncle Matin, a riot-shield-wielding powerhouse. Tag in and out as the classic Lee duo or switch it up with different characters. With two-player local cooperative play, the action quadruples as you and a friend clean up the mean streets.

Endless playthrough possibilities are made a reality with the game’s dynamic mission select function—the order in which you choose your mission will affect the mission length, number of enemies, and overall difficulty. Players choose between missions housed within city sectors, pursuing the leaders of four deadly gangs across unique stages packed with melee weapons, dangerously devoted members and varied environments perfect for all-out fights.

Cash is earned by using a Special KO on opponents, while health boosts are earned by performing Crowd Control moves, which are special KOs that knock out multiple enemies at once. Spend cash at the end of each stage to unlock powerful upgrades for your chosen characters or choose to save up your cash. Experiment with different duos, pursue alternate builds for your fighters through upgrades, and change the order in which they challenge the city’s sinister gang leaders.

Should a session end in defeat, players can convert any remaining cash into tokens usable to permanently unlock extra characters and bonuses in between sessions, making every battle serve a purpose. But buying a Continue with that token to instead extend a promising round of gang-slugging action is worth considering, too…

Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons recalls the series’ classic aesthetic with refreshed pixel art visuals, sporting updated-yet-faithful appearances for both returning heroes and villains and a stirring soundtrack that keeps players ready for the next fight. With unlockable bonuses, adjustable difficulty levels, optional permadeath, and infinite modes, Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons is a robust revitalization of the series’ signature side-scrolling action. Online cooperative play is planned as a post-launch update later this year.

Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons Review

Although the Double Dragon series has been around since 1987, I’ve never played a single game in the entire series. I tell you this so you can understand how I’m approaching Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons. I’m a newcomer here, one who loves a good brawler, sure, but isn’t here to compare this latest entry to its ancestors. Nope, I’m here as a lover of Streets of Rage 4 and TMNT:…

My previous coverage on this game is here, here, and here. A new trailer was recently released and it is here, so check it out:

Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons Review

Developer: Secret Base Publisher: Modus Games Platforms: Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Windows (Reviewed), PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Switch Release Date: 27 July 2023 Price: $24.99 USD

Double Dragon Gaiden delivers a decent, albeit flawed, beat ‘em up experience. Its rogue-lite mechanics are, indeed, very light; they don’t do enough to mix things up in a way that justifies their inclusion. It can still be a pretty good time especially when it’s played in co-op.

Review: Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons

The roguelite design and the changing level structures encourage the player to complete the game multiple times to unlock all the additional characters to create experiences that feel less repetitive. This is a novel idea that works well for a couple playthroughs, but it can’t save things from feeling redundant forever. It’s fun for a couple playthroughs and does well at recreating the classic beat ’em up gameplay.
