Double Dragon I is an action game released in 1988 for the Nintendo NES. Players take control of martial artist brothers aiming to rescue Marian, who has been kidnapped by a street gang. The main objective is to fight through various levels filled with enemies using hand-to-hand combat skills and weapons found along the way.
The game features a side-scrolling beat 'em up pace, with continuous movement from left to right as players progress. Combat revolves around punches, kicks, and grappling moves, with the addition of weapons like bats and whips that can be picked up during stages. The cooperative two-player mode allows simultaneous gameplay, enhancing the interactive experience.
A distinctive element of Double Dragon I is its use of environmental objects during fights and the inclusion of combo attacks, which were relatively uncommon at the time. The urban setting and gang-themed storyline provide a gritty atmosphere, contributing to its recognition as a pioneering title in the beat 'em up genre on the NES platform.
