Double Dragon V: The Shadow Falls is a 1994 SNES fighting game by Leland Interactive Media. Departing from the franchise’s traditional beat ’em up roots, this entry is a one-on-one 2D fighter based on the Double Dragon animated series. Players choose from a roster of ten characters, including Billy and Jimmy Lee, to battle in an arcade-style tournament with distinct special moves and finishing techniques.
How to play
The objective is to drain your opponent’s health bar in best-of-three rounds. Each character has unique special attacks and attributes. The controls are mapped as follows:
- Movement / Jump / Crouch: Arrow keys (ââââ)
- Light / Heavy Punches: Z and X
- Light / Heavy Kicks: A and S
- Shoulder Buttons (L/R): Q and E
- Start / Select: Enter / Shift
Tips
- Overdrives: Each character has unique “Overdrive” special moves that can turn the tide of a battle. Experiment with directional inputs combined with punch or kick buttons to discover them.
- Spacing: Like many 90s fighting games, understanding the reach of your normal attacks is key to punishing missed strikes from the AI.
