In a two-player game, both Billy and Jimmy can utilize a special “high-five” technique to split and share their life meters to an equal amount, “psych” the other one out to harm them or make them fall over, or to instantly trigger a Gleam effect. The journey starts on the city streets and progresses through an outer-space dojo, Asian countryside, a genetics lab, and a graveyard before concluding at Skullmageddon’s palace. GameplayĪs with previous installments of the series, the player takes control of martial artists Billy Lee (Player 1) and Jimmy Lee (Player 2) in their fight to rescue Marian from the Shadow Warriors gang, this time led by the super-lich Skullmageddon. The game also features unique ’80s-like themed music that can be unlocked and reordered into an in-game mix tape to be listened to while playing.


The game allows two-player co-op, traditional martial arts and impromptu weapon based action, and a revived 1980s aesthetic. Both Billy and Jimmy Lee reappear as the game’s protagonists. The downloadable game follows the series’ same signature side-scrolling brawler gameplay. It was developed by WayForward Technologies and published by Majesco Entertainment, and it is the reboot of the Double Dragon series.
