Double Dragon for the Atari Lynx (1987) is a fighting game that centers on fast-paced beat 'em up combat. Players take control of martial artists fighting through urban environments with the main objective of rescuing a kidnapped character while overcoming waves of enemies. The game demands quick reflexes and mastery of various attack moves to progress.
The pace of Double Dragon is relentless, with continuous enemy encounters that require players to combine punches, kicks, and special attacks. Its unique mechanic is the ability to pick up and use weapons found in the environment, adding strategic variety to the hand-to-hand combat. This mechanic encourages players to adapt their fighting style depending on available resources.
Distinctive for its time, Double Dragon on Atari Lynx offers cooperative gameplay, allowing two players to team up via the Lynx’s link cable. This multiplayer feature enhances the experience by enabling collaborative fighting tactics in a portable, handheld fighting game format.
