Double Dragon II: The Revenge is a classic 1988 arcade beat 'em up where brothers Billy and Jimmy Lee fight their way through gangs to avenge a brutal murder.

The game supports two-player co-op, allowing both players to fight enemies together. This encourages teamwork and synchronized attacks, a hallmark of classic arcade co-op games.
Fast-paced, reflex-driven gameplay involving combat, dodging, and progressing through levels. The action elements include enemy variety, weapon pickups, and timed attacks.
The game uses a side-scrolling format, where players move from left to right (and sometimes vertically) across the screen to progress through stages.
