Exquisite
After this many years of awaiting a revival its well worth the wait. Don’t listen to any negative reviews. The people behind this show true talent and add real depth to an already great game. Yuzo Koshiro also does an amazing job breathing new life into the music which when combined with the new visuals draws deeper than ever in your role as the player.
This isn’t your typical rehash remake but an evolution of something that is already special being made that much better and delivering an even deeper interaction and story along the way.
Controller support is present on iOS and graphics look phenomenal. The only wish I had would be a way to hide or make transparent the on screen controls when playing with an attached controller.
Playing without the controller also works really well for a touch screen interface, I am very surprised.
Buy this game, and buy it on a console too. Support these developers so that they will bring forth even more Quintet classics.

Boring
They really padded this game with a tower defence game. You can hardly play since every 5 seconds the towns people need another quest started or thanking you. Skip this one
Good, but
Option to remove on screen buttons for controller use, and 6pm or 120 fps
Needs controller support
This game needs controller support. It’s a remake of a SNES game, to NOT have controller support is asinine.
Controller Support!
I can confirm it has the MUST HAVE feature. Controller Support!
All in all, it’s a good port, of a great game! Music, Graphics, and Cloud Saves.
My only complaint is when playing with controller, the on screen buttons are still visible.

Intriguing remake of a SNES Classic, let down by 30fps cap
This is one of the more interesting remakes from Square Enix. Rather than reimagine the game such that it’s barely recognisable to the classic original work, this is quite faithful to the original, but with a visual style that echoes mid-90s fascination with prerendered graphics. It sounds awful on paper, but it works by invoking the past.
This is Actraiser, then, with some tweaks to gameplay - particularly the strategy parts.
What lets this version of the game down is the 30fps cap, which is frankly baffling. Let players unlock the framerate to 60fps, Square Enix! Phones newer than the iPhone 8 should be more than capable.

Unexpected Brilliance
Plays great and harkens back to some really creative ideas and fun challenging gameplay. Many new additions and changes here so even fans of the original will want to play through again.
My only gripe is that this is stuck running at 30fps instead of the 60 I hoped for , either way its awesome but not quite perfect

Controller support
Supports controller at launch. 5/5. Now please update the pixel remasters to support controllers!
