The game follows the story of two martial artist brothers, Billy and Jimmy Lee, as they embark on a mission to rescue Billy's girlfriend, Marian, who has been kidnapped by the Black Warriors gang. Players control either Billy or Jimmy as they fight their way through various enemy-filled levels, using martial arts moves and weapons to defeat opponents and progress through the game.

Players could team up with a friend to take on the street gangs together, adding an extra level of strategy and camaraderie to the gameplay. The game's memorable characters, satisfying combat mechanics, and iconic soundtrack made "Double Dragon" a commercial success and a beloved classic in the history of video games. Its success led to the creation of numerous sequels and spin-offs, cementing its place as a pioneer in arcade gaming and a must-play title for fans of retro video games.
