Double Dragon Revive faithfully reproduces the thrill of old school side-scrolling action games, with updated controls and difficulty settings for the modern era, and utilizing Arc System Works’ fighting game development experience. Jimmy Lee, Billy Lee, Roper, Abobo, and more will appear in stylish 3D.
Double Dragon Revive attempts to bring the franchise back into the spotlight, but fails miserably
Double Dragon Revive is a lazy sequel. Although the developers tried to adhere to the spirit of the original, they failed in the task of updating the gameplay to modern standards, drowning in goofy mechanics, unoriginality, and boredom.
Double Dragon Revive punches its way back into the spotlight with smooth performance, deep combat, and a healthy dose of nostalgia. It’s a fun, interactive, and well-built brawler that honours its roots while embracing modern polish, even if its story and structure play it safe.
Double Dragon Revive introduces interesting ideas such as unique character moves and combat that attempts to be complex. However, these intentions are undermined by fundamental gameplay flaws. Despite a noteworthy soundtrack, Double Dragon's return feels dull and underdeveloped.
The classic fighting game has been revived in a modern version, but it doesn't bring a more intense experience or significant improvements.
