Nostalgia is a big thing when you’re old like me, and while many might think back to Mario or Sonic, some of my earliest gaming memories where at the local arcade playing Double Dragon, it’s a game that’s stuck with me over the last three and a half decades, so it’s time to dust off our controllers and take a look at the latest release in the long-standing franchise.
When Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons originally released players were disappointed to see online was not present. It was among a number of unfortunate choices that negatively impacted reception. Surprisingly, Secret Base released a free update that addressed criticism, most notably by adding online, along with new characters, and modes. - IS
Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons has today received a free DLC pack, adding new characters and gameplay modes.
"When Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons arrived in July of last year, we were blown away by its exceptional stage design, fast and simple gameplay, and large array of unlockable characters. The only thing it really lacked was online co-op, but that has now been rectified. Today's "Sacred Reunion" DLC adds online co-op, Survival and Versus modes, and three new unlockable characters. It's a big update, and it's free, baby," says Co-Optimus.
