I tripped on another hidden gem from the 2000-era of Neo-Geo and wonder how it is even possible that I could have never heard of Rage of the Dragons till now.

The Double Dragon franchise is well known as some of the most iconic side-scrolling beat em-ups to have ever graced the genre. Some came before and many came after, but Double Dragon is oft considered the OG. That said, it hasn t always been confined to one genre. The franchise has had a couple stints in fighting games, one of which was based off an actual film. And that film-based fighting game was good enough that there was supposed to be a sequel. In fact. there was, in all but name. Walk with me in this exploration of the curiously high-quality Double Dragon spiritual successor fighting game known as Rage of the Dragons.
