Double Dragon IV Download PC

Double Dragon IV (Japanese: ダブルドラゴン Ⅳ Hepburn: Daburu Doragon IV) is a beat 'em up video game in the Double Dragon series for PlayStation 4, Microsoft Windows and Nintendo Switch.

Gameplay

In addition to a story mode, the game includes a two-player duel mode and a tower battle mode. Enemies and bosses as well as hidden characters can be unlocked for Story and Duel modes through Tower Mode.

Plot

After the defeat of the Black Warriors in Double Dragon II, Billy and Jimmy Lee look to spread their Sōsetsuken martial art by establishing dojos around the country. However, they soon face a new threat in a gang called the Renegades, who have teamed up with the Black Warriors to put an end to Billy and Jimmy once and for all.

Development

Unlike earlier games in the series, this sequel is developed by Arc System Works, who bought the series rights in 2015 after acquiring original publishers Technōs Japan. Several series developers continued to the project, including the original director, character designer, composer, and programmer with production led by Arc System Works designer Takaomi Kaneko. The game was announced in late December 2016 via a gameplay trailer. GameSpot had expected a graphical update, similar to Double Dragon Neon, but the new sequel's gameplay and graphics are more akin to the ports made for the Nintendo Entertainment System, with several character sprites taken directly from those titles, rather than the arcade original.

The game was released digitally on January 30, 2017, for PlayStation 4 and January 31 for Microsoft Windows. A version for Nintendo Switch was released digitally on September 7, 2017. The game received a limited physical release on the PlayStation 4 on December 8, 2017 by Limited Run Games.
