£9.99 – Playstation Store

Get ready to beat the Double Dragon way in this fresh addition to the iconic beat ‘em up franchise. The year is 199X and nuclear war has devastated New York City, leaving its citizens fighting for survival as riots and crime spill over the streets. The city has been taken over by criminal gangs who terrorize the ruins in their quest for total dominance. Unable to tolerate these conditions any longer, young Billy and Jimmy Lee take it upon themselves to drive the gangs from their city.

Discover the early beginnings of the young Double Dragon brothers as they face off against enemies both new and familiar in this alternate story. In this fresh roguelite, every playthrough is a brand new opportunity for new action. Featuring a unique and dynamic level structure, the difficulty of the missions you complete will change depending on the order in which you select them.

Tag in and out as classic duo Billy and Jimmy, switch it up with Marian and Uncle Matin, or experiment with 12 additional unlockable characters, each with their own special moves and unique play styles. With 2-player online and local co-op, the action quadruples as you and a friend clean up the mean streets.
