Well, I mean, it’s not the deepest storyline in the universe but at least they tried.
You guessed it – Marian then comes back to life. With his dying words, the evil dude tells you of the prophecy where an angel falls from the sky on the night the two dragons soar. Eventually you make it to the end of the game where you defeat their evil leader. The rest of the game consists of you tracking down and following this crime syndicate, beating the shit out of everyone in sight. Well, they must have messed with the wrong person because in retaliation to their vigilante ways, Billy’s girlfriend Marian is murdered.īilly and Jimmy set off on a quest to stop the Shadow Warriors and avenge Marian’s death. Billy and Jimmy Lee are two vigilante crime fighters who are standing up to these syndicates. Crime syndicates have risen to take control of the remaining cities. Correct me if I’m wrong? Anyway, the year is 19XX, and the world is recovering from nuclear war.
If you’ve seen the movie Double Dragon (awful movie, but I actually had fun watching it!) I think this game is set in the same universe. Double Dragon II opens things up a little bit more. No frills, nothing special about its storyline. The original Double Dragon was a simple “beat up the bad guys and rescue the damsel in distress” type game.
