The gameplay of the game is fluid and responsive, offering a deep and versatile combat system that stands out among beat 'em ups, particularly with its tight controls and variety of attacks. While it successfully modernizes the mechanics of the original arcade experience, it suffers from outdated graphics and animations, and some players may find the overall experience short. Despite these drawbacks, the addition of survival mode provides ample content for players to explore.
- “Add in the survival mode, and there's tons of gameplay to be wrung out of this game.”
- “The gameplay is very fluid and puts most other older Double Dragon games to shame in comparison. There is a good variety of attacks you can execute, and your character is fast and responsive.”
- “The fighting mechanics and button layout may appear strange at first, but unlike most beat 'em ups that rely on single button combos and special move buttons, Double Dragon Advance has a deep, engaging, and highly versatile variety of moves for every situation.”
- “While it lacks the visual flashiness of recent beat 'em ups, it more than makes up for it with highly efficient combat mechanics.”
- “On the other hand, the game is ancient - ancient graphics, ancient animations, ancient mechanics, very short also.”
- “While recent games in the series like Double Dragon Neon & Double Dragon Gaiden are lots of fun, they never attempted to recreate the feel of the original arcade game, whilst modernizing the mechanics & ironing out the issues expected in a game made back in 1987.”

The graphics of the game are criticized for being outdated and lacking options, resembling a barebones romdump. While the large and dynamic sprites offer some visual appeal, the overall presentation feels rough and reminiscent of older titles, with animations and mechanics that have not aged well.
- “It's a barebones romdump with really garbage graphics options.”
- “The graphics may look a lot more rough than modern beat 'em ups, but the sprites are huge and dynamic.”
- “On the other hand, the game is ancient - ancient graphics, ancient animations, ancient mechanics, very short also.”

The music in Double Dragon Advance features iconic tracks from the original arcade game and its sequel, providing a nostalgic experience for players. However, the sound quality is limited by the Game Boy Advance's capabilities, leading to some ear-piercing noises; using a sound filter can enhance the listening experience. Overall, the soundtrack is well-regarded despite these technical limitations.
- “Double Dragon Advance came out a very long time ago for the Game Boy Advance. It is a reimagined version of the original Double Dragon arcade game that also includes elements from Double Dragon 2, such as some of its iconic music tracks.”
- “The music soundtrack itself is great despite the low quality of the sound. I highly recommend putting on a sound filter to emphasize the low frequency range, which removes most of the ear-piercing noises this game has. This helps a lot.”
