So, waves of violence swept the city of New York immediately after the end of the nuclear war. Despite the fact that the criminal syndicates were gaining strength, two young men were brave enough to challenge them. Their names are Billy and Jimmy. People call them Double Dragon, and our heroes have a terrible enemy. The battle with him was the goal, the task and, one might say, the fate of the dragons. One day the Shadow Warriors attacked the city and killed girlfriend Billy, who was called Marian. Now the dragons have only one goal - to avenge the death of the girl.If you remember, in the first game Double Dragon, scoundrels Shadow Warriors just grabbed Marian and kidnapped her. However, Billy managed to save her. This time they went even further, they killed her, and as you can see in the video scene, Marian is so cute. Perhaps, even you will be upset because such a beautiful girl died a terrible death. And there's no need to talk about Billy Lee. He is simply in a rage, and no obstacles can prevent him from adequately taking revenge on the Shadow Warriors.These disheveled scoundrels must be punished, so Billy and his brother are intent on lecturing these scoundrels, destroying them and thereby putting the streets in New York. It is here that you will meet various bandits armed with nunchuck.
Fight in dark and dangerous avenues, underwater tunnels. But nothing can stop the brothers, because they are brilliant in mastering the invincible martial art of the double dragon.And the story began, perhaps, no less terribly. The nuclear disaster erupted over New York, the city was captured by ruthless criminals, a gang of black Shadow Warrios, and no one can stand in their way. There are gangsters, swindlers, scoundrels and drug dealers all around. On the street, a normal person is practically impossible to get out. So our heroes face a very difficult task. They will have to fight with ninjas, karatekas, terrible bosses, disgusting giants, robots and other evil spirits.However, first of all they must go to the world-famous center for studying the martial art of the double dragon Double Dragon Dojo. Here students continuously train, study martial arts, gain strength, learn powerful fighting techniques, sharpen their art. However, the enemy also does not sleep. Bandits, apparently, are trained no less thoroughly. And now after the death of Marian, you must drive the bandits out of the city, and even better to kill. It's not an easy thing to do, so you have to use all the combat techniques that you learned: punching, kicks, elbowing, jumping attacks, hair-pulling throws and even special tricks such as Spinning Cyclone or Hypper Uppercut, and the more actively you fight with enemies, the more you will gain experience, master new techniques and become stronger and stronger.Having penetrated deep into the territory where bandits rule, you will have an even more difficult task, since you will have to operate in enemy territory, and sometimes get into such secret places that even gangsters do not dare to come forward, and therefore the enemies you meet here are real beasts. And only the soldiers of the double dragon have a chance to survive in this nightmare. That's how your adventure begins.In the course of the game, you will walk around different rooms, climb stairs, pass through doors.
