## What is Double Dragon Trilogy?

A groundbreaking, uber-popular game upon its arcade debut in 1987, Double Dragon is the undisputed godfather of co-op beat ‘em all!

Enter Double Dragon Trilogy, a compilation specially optimized for mobiles and which includes all three installments of the beloved arcade series: Double Dragon, Double Dragon 2: The Revenge, and Double Dragon 3: The Rosetta Stone. The first one begins with Billy and his brother Jimmy, two martial arts experts, in a mission to rescue Billy's girlfriend, Marian, who’s been kidnapped by the Black Shadows Gang. All your favorite moves are here:  punches, kicks, elbows, knees, head-butts and an assortment of not-exactly-street-legal weapons.

•Customizable controls
•Three difficulty levels: “mobile” (specially balanced for mobile games), “original” (similar to the arcade version) and “expert” (a real challenge!)

### 1/5 — Controls don’t function properly.

*2026-07-02*

Just like tho original but the area to tap for punch, jump, and kick are not centered on the buttons properly. Hitting the punch right in the center results in a back elbow that only should be activated when the punch and jump buttons are simultaneously pressed. 

Similar issues with the jump and kick buttons. 

Please fix. I love this game and miss it!!!

### 5/5 — The Awesome Arcade Version

*2026-06-29*

I love it!  Works really well with the Backbone controller.  Just like when I played it in the 80’s at that oldschool arcade.  This is the best Arcade version with pristine graphics, music and sound effects.  Perfect game mechanics.  Get this if you remember how cool it was back in the day.  It does not disappoint.   **Can map the buttons too as you prefer.  (Only thing you will miss is your 12 year old buddy on the player #2 joystick having your back.)

### 1/5 — Controls

*2026-04-01*

The controls on this game are absolutely horrendous. While the graphics and gameplay are like the arcade, the controls don’t work well—like randomly throwing a back elbow while punching your opponent giving them ample time to counter, or trying to do a forward jump kick, but somehow manages to kick in the opposite direction despite clearly having the controls in the correct position to do what you intended.

### 5/5 — Jogo da infância

*2026-03-04*

Jogo maravilhoso meus Parabéns,tentar colocar os jogos do Atari

### 1/5 — No Co-op Mode

*2025-10-17, version 1.3*

Despite saying in the description that the game has co-op mode via Bluetooth, it actually doesn’t.  This is false advertising.

### 1/5 — Awful button controls

*2025-10-17, version 1.3*

Dreadful

### 3/5 — Hace falta la opción de dos jugadores

*2025-09-25, version 1.3*

Definitivamente le falta poder enlazarlo para jugar con un amigo y recordar buenos tiempos

### 5/5 — Dragons

*2025-05-12, version 1.3*

Great karate practice for the soul

### 5/5 — 童年的回憶

*2025-04-21, version 1.3*

超讚的遊戲，還原度100%！二代難度頗高，接關次數能增加更好。

### 4/5 — Buenos recuerdos

*2025-04-19, version 1.3*

Funciona genial, recuerdos de mi niñez
