Double Dragon Is Ass Kicking Its Way Onto The iOS
Lots of games are getting made over and redone and re-released on newer gaming devices. Nothing at all wrong with that. Bringing a CLASSIC such as Double Dragon back is genius. On that note, Double Dragon will be back this March on the Apple iOS devices. And it is totally redone and looking new and fancy, but still keeping its 2D side scrolling roots.
Billy and Jimmy are back, and it’s up to them to save Marian from the Black Warriors. What do they want? They want the Sousetsuken scrolls for Marian, or Marian will be killed. Well Billy and Jimmy don’t see it that way. They plan on keeping the scrolls and getting Marian back. Screens and features past the break.

In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war, but it was a cheerful illustrator from England who helped to define the terrifying war-torn imagery that inspired what we now know as Grimdark (a hybrid genre combining horror with sci-fi/fantasy).
Unfortunately for fans of Warhammer 40,000, Trench Crusade and countless other sources of Grimdark thrills, veteran artist John Blanche passed away this week after struggling with health issues for the past few years.
While the artist retired back in 2023, he leaves us with an enormous legacy of iconic artwork that continues to inspire gamers and storytellers around the world to this very day.
The news is especially gloomy as it was only last year that Daniel Lowman and Napoleon Dynamite himself Jon Heder released The Grim & the Dark: The Search for John Blanche, a documentary following Heder’s exploration of the Grimdark genre culminating in a heartwarming encounter with Blanche in his own home.
Below is one of my favorite pieces by Blanche, his highly influential depiction of Warhammer 40k’s God-Emperor of Mankind on his Golden Throne.
We send our deepest condolences to John Blanche’s family, friends, and fans.
