Everything about this game feels lazy. The sprites are hardly updated from Double Dragon II on the NES, if at all. The game is clearly trying to retread that ground, but as a modern game it just doesn't feel good. It's too slow, too easy to get stunlocked, and just generally feels like a bad fan game instead of an official main series sequel. It's just sad because we've seen the potential this series has with Double Dragon Neon, so that makes Double Dragon IV feel like even more of a regression.
