Double Dragon II: The Revenge vs Elden Ring
Side-by-side comparison of features, pricing, ratings, and alternatives.

Billy and Jimmy Lee return to avenge Marian's death, fighting through a heliport, lumber storehouse, wheat field, and a hidden boss lair. The arcade classic features directional attack buttons, new moves like the Hurricane Kick, and a final showdown against a clone of the player’s own character. The game offers both solo and cooperative play, letting two players team up to take down enemies together, with each player facing their own clone at the climax for an extra challenge.
Elden Ring is a challenging open-world action RPG that brings FromSoftware’s punishing combat into a vast, explorable land conceived with George R. R. Martin. It rewards curiosity and mastery with deep build variety and cryptic, atmospheric storytelling.
Around $59.99; Shadow of the Erdtree expansion sold separately.
