Play Double Dragon Ii: The Revenge (dos) Online

Double Dragon II: The Revenge is a side-view beat 'em up video game released for MS-DOS in 1989. It was developed by Technos Japan Corp. and published by Virgin Games, Inc. This title serves as a direct sequel to the original Double Dragon, continuing the story of the Lee brothers.

The player controls either Billy or Jimmy Lee, martial artists on a mission to avenge the death of Marian. The objective is to progress through a series of side-scrolling stages, defeating waves of enemy gang members known as the Black Warriors. Progression is linear, with players moving from left to right, engaging in hand-to-hand combat to clear each area before advancing. A key gameplay system is its direction-oriented attacking, which replaced separate punch and kick buttons; the character's move changes based on the directional input. Players also encounter environmental traps and can utilize a variety of special moves, including throws and combination attacks, to overcome different enemy types.

The MS-DOS version adapts the core arcade experience, featuring the same fundamental combat mechanics and mission structure. The game includes multiple stages, each culminating in a boss encounter. While the narrative premise of avenging Marian drives the action, the primary focus remains on the brawling gameplay, where players fight through urban and industrial environments. The title maintains the cooperative two-player mode established in earlier versions, allowing a second player to join as the other brother.
