Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons - Nintendo Switch

Buy Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons in Australia

Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons for Nintendo Switch is a bold, modern reimagining of the classic beat-em-up, developed by Secret Base and published by Modus Games. Rather than a straight remake, it's a spin-off set before the original Double Dragon, rebuilding the series' side-scrolling combat around a fresh tag-team system and roguelike progression.

Set in a gang-controlled, post-apocalyptic New York, the story follows Billy and Jimmy Lee, Marian and Uncle Matin as they're recruited by the city's newly elected mayor to take down four rival gangs. The base game ships with thirteen playable characters, four unlocked from the start, and its free Sacred Reunion update later added online multiplayer, Versus and Survival modes, plus three more characters.

Tag-Team Combat Reinvents the Genre

The standout feature is the tag-team system: up to two players can each command two characters, freely swapping between them mid-fight to chain combos and cover each other's weaknesses. It turns the classic beat-em-up formula into something far more tactical and collaborative, giving returning fans and newcomers alike plenty of reasons to keep playing.

A Prequel With a Twist

Unusually for the series, Rise of the Dragons is set chronologically before the original Double Dragon. After clearing all four gang leaders, players choose whether to accept the mayor's offer or refuse it, unlocking an alternate ending that ties directly into the story of Double Dragon II.
