Return of Double Dragon

2018
FightingHack and slash/Beat 'em up
A love letter to the 80s arcade brawler, this revival refines the familiar formula with a modern polish. The combat is all about momentum and knowing when to unleash devastating special moves, while the co-op mode demands careful coordination. Its pixel art aesthetic and thumping soundtrack evoke a sense of nostalgia, but the real draw is the simple joy of teaming up to pummel hordes of punks into submission.

About Return of Double Dragon

Details
Return of Double Dragon features several significant differences from Super Double Dragon: the title theme and most of the background music were shuffled around (e.g. the Mission 1 theme from Super Double Dragon is played during Mission 4 in Return of Double Dragon) and the player can perform certain actions which cannot be done in Super Double Dragon (such as retrieving a boomerang after throwing it or hitting an opponent more than once successively with the hurricane kick). The enemy placement is also different in both versions and weapons such as knives and incendiary bombs do less damage in Return of Double Dragon. Enemies can duck end combo blows, thus preventing the player from finishing their combos. The final Mission also features two additional levels before the final battle. An Option Mode is included in Return of Double Dragon as well, allowing players to adjust the game's difficulty level, as well as listen to the game's music and sound effects.
