Controller support plzzz

As the title says…
ACanother apple consumer

Great game

Brilliant port of one of my favourite Dragon Quest games. They added a slight update to movement which the consoles didn’t have. And touchscreen is a great way to play. However, I would like the option for using a game controller too - especially when I’m playing on the iPad.

Controller Option a Must

Just like many others have said controller option is a must have, but is not supported on this port. Totally makes the game unenjoyable to play especially for anyone with a larger iPad since the on screen controllers are offset and higher up on the screen.

Great port, great game!

Feels like a dragon quest game more than a builder, great job!

PLEASE put out all the PARASITE EVE games!
