How it feels

A fast-paced, arcade-style beat 'em up with tight combat and nostalgic stage design, best enjoyed with a friend in local co-op.

What players say

Players praise Double Dragon Advance as one of the best takes on the original, adding parries and blocking to the simple beat 'em up. But a serious bug ties game speed to your monitor's refresh rate, making it unplayably fast above 60 Hz, and there are no achievements. Some call it clunky or unfair, others say it rewards thoughtful play.
