Our take on Double Dragon Trilogy
The arcade focus keeps the collection centered on direct combat, stage completion, and score chasing. That emphasis leaves less room for broader exploration or systems outside the beat ’em up format, making the experience more about repeated action runs than varied activities.
What is Double Dragon Trilogy?
Double Dragon Trilogy brings together three arcade beat ’em up games following Billy and Jimmy Lee.
Their stories involve rescuing Marian, seeking revenge after her death, and searching worldwide for three Rosetta Stones before confronting a powerful adversary. Combat includes punches, kicks, knees, grabs, and weapons. Story Mode includes stages and achievements, while Arcade Mode focuses on pursuing high scores.
