PS4 Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons (new)

Product detailed description

Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons is an action-packed beat 'em up for PlayStation 4 that brings back the classic Double Dragon experience, this time with a modern twist and new gameplay elements. The game pays homage to the original series, which has become iconic thanks to its dynamic combat style and co-op mode that allows players to join forces against enemies.

Story:

The game is set in a post-apocalyptic New York City where various gangs control the city. Brothers Billy and Jimmy Lee, the protagonists of the series, decide to intervene again and restore order in the city. Players can look forward to classic battles against hordes of enemies and bosses, with each gang having its own specific leader and unique fighting style.

Gameplay mechanics:

Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons retains the traditional gameplay of beat 'em up games, where players progress through levels, defeating opponents and facing a powerful boss at the end. In addition to the classic punch and kick combat, players have a variety of weapons to collect and use against enemies.

However, the game also introduces new mechanics, such as the ability to switch between different characters during combat, allowing the use of different fighting styles and special attacks. Each character has unique abilities and skills that can be crucial in different situations.

Graphics and Style:

The graphical style of the game is inspired by retro aesthetics, but with modern elements that bring a fresh look and fluidity to the animations. The game has distinctive pixel art graphics that evoke the nostalgia of older games, but also look modern and detailed. Bold colours and dynamic visual effects add to the intensity of the action.

Co-op mode:

One of the key features of the game is the possibility of cooperative mode, where two players can work together on one screen, which is typical of classic games of this genre. This mode brings even more fun to the game and allows players to face the challenges the game offers together.
