* SeinfeldIsUnfunny: Ironically, ''IV'' being so faithful to the early ''Double Dragon'' games makes it look primitive compared to contemporary [[BeatEmUp beat 'em ups]] that came before, during and after its release.



* SoOkayItsAverage: For those on the less negative and fair side. ''DDIV'' does some new things: such as unlockable characters and new moves. Yet the rest has been done already, but executed well for the most part. Coming out after ''Neon'' did not help. The cheap price point is considered the go to saving grace as well.

* CriticalBacklash: Reviewers such as [[https://youtu.be/uBlglBt8wxs?t=828 Top Hat Gaming]], and ''DD'' fans feel the negativity from most professional critics was overblown. While the critics have some points, what most found is a fun or decent brawler that celebrates the ''NES Trilogy''. On top of adding new bonus modes, unlockable characters after going through and beating the game, and unlocking more characters the further you get in to Tower Mode.



* {{Sequelitis}}: Of a different sort than some of the earlier entries. Besides feeling as if it doesn't seem to [[MissionPackSequel contribute much in terms of new content]], it has screen tearing issues (even ''on the [=PS4=] version'', of all things), came out years after ''[[VideoGame/DoubleDragonNeon Neon]]'' (an American-developed game) [[ToughActToFollow revived the franchise]], and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking has]] [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot a ridiculous plot]] [[ExcusePlot even by the standards of the series]]. This is especially relevant here, considering this game was developed by their original creators, no less.

* SeinfeldIsUnfunny: Ironically, ''IV'' being so faithful to the early ''Double Dragon'' games makes it look primitive compared to contemporary [[BeatEmUp beat 'em ups]] that came before and after its release.
