against enemies.
Double Dragon Revive Game Features Include:
- Stylish, Reimagined Character Visuals – The characters who defined the golden age of arcades have been recreated in modern 3D graphics while retaining their original charm. Not only do the protagonists, the Lee brothers, return, but so do the formidable foes who once stood in their way.
- The Fun of Beat ’em Up Action – Beat ’em up action games feature gameplay where the player moves horizontally across the screen while defeating enemies. While faithfully reproducing that simple and intuitive gameplay, the controls and difficulty have been
optimized for the modern audience. The game has been supervised by the fighting game production staff at Arc System Works, allowing even first-time players to jump right in.
- Exhilarating and Strategic Action – The combat in this game requires more than just button-mashing; a variety of moves is necessary to defeat enemies. The gameplay also incorporates strategic elements, such as learning enemy attack patterns and identifying the most effective timing for attacks. Utilize weapons found in each stage and take advantage of environmental gimmicks to gain the upper hand in battle.
