## Review summary

Double Dragon 4 on iOS delivers a nostalgic, well-presented retro beat-em-up with faithful visuals, sound, and a broad character roster. Players praise the authentic vibe, tight controls, and convenient features like restoring purchases and resuming from completed levels. However, it struggles with touch controls, lacks controller support, and gates the full experience behind a paywall after the first level, reducing accessibility and value for players who prefer physical controllers.

### Pros

- Nostalgic retro look, feel, and soundtrack faithful to NES Double Dragon.
- Large character roster with accessible moves, offering substantial replay value.
- Tight, responsive controls and improved hit detection compared to the original NES game.
- Quality-of-life features like restoring purchases and the ability to resume from completed levels.
- Overall authentic, classic beat-em-up experience that fans of the franchise will enjoy.

### Cons

- No official controller/MFi support; reliance on on-screen controls is widely criticized.
- Paywall after the first level to unlock the rest of the game; perceived as a money grab by some players.
- On-screen controls are awkward and lack customizable options, making gameplay less smooth for many.
