Double Cross

What it’s like

Double Cross delivers a vibrant, high-octane side-scrolling experience that blends tight platforming with light RPG mechanics. You play as Zahra, an interdimensional agent tasked with restoring order after a catastrophic attack on her organization. The narrative is driven by mystery and sci-fi intrigue, supported by a distinct anime-inspired art style that defines the game’s visual identity. While the plot provides context for the action, the core appeal lies in the fluid movement and combat mechanics. The game features an 'RPG-lite' progression system allowing players to customize Zahra’s abilities, though this adds only superficial depth rather than complex build variety. The tone is energetic and colorful, prioritizing kinetic fun over heavy storytelling or emotional weight. It offers a concise, linear campaign focused on immediate satisfaction rather than long-term engagement.
