Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons (2023)

Mission order changes how much of a gang's territory you face, including the mission's length, enemy pressure and difficulty. Taking a faction early is therefore a different proposition from saving it until later, making the map a practical replay decision. It is a useful alternative if you prefer choosing destinations directly to hunting hidden exits. The routes reuse the same gangs and setting rather than promising wholly separate stories, while random upgrades and your tag team add another variable to each attempt.
