    The new moves/customizable controls are an improvement from double dragon 2 with this game...however with it's lazy level design, forgiving continues and barely any challenge unless the screen is swarmed with enemies, anyone comparing this entry to the legendary double dragon 2 is completely delusional

    Half-assed rushed attempt to leech on the popular name. To release something like this after Double Dragon Neon is just a mug. This game looks like a cheap beta of a fan-made game. Hell, even most fan-games are far superrior, like Abobo's big adventure, which is a masterpiece. Even plot here looks like garbage, and we talking about old-school beat em up here.
    Boring levels, braindead

    Boring levels, braindead fighting system, severe lack of content, poor techical side of PC version (not even able to make this crap look right in fullscreen mode). Don't affirm Ark's laziness and never buy this one, or get immidiate refund if you do.

    Double Dragon 4 is a perfect solution for people who want to relive every bad design feature of 20th century arcade games. Feel once again that surge of emotions when enemies hit you from offscreen, or when you die during a clunky but merciless platforming section. Not to mention the authentic earworm music.

    I like old-school brawler. I like pixelart. But Double Dragon 4 is too old-school for its own sake. Instead of trying to stay true to its roots and modernize the concept here and then this game seems like they just changed the sprites and backgrounds from Double Dragon 2.

    It does nothing more than to remind us that the NES version of Double Dragon wasn’t anything more than a seriously downgraded version of the arcade one. It doesn’t help that this tedious sequel reuses most of the old assets without even trying to bring something new.
