### 2/5 — Need Controller support

*2026-07-29, version 3.4.4*

Tried playing this on the Bluetooth controller. It is not as good as using a Backbone handheld it glitches it does not always recognize it. Please bring Backbone or MFI Support. Sometimes my backbone works, but through a lot of trial and error and restarting. Also the screen controls get in the way.

### 5/5 — Timeless game!

*2025-05-14, version 3.4.1*

Absolutely FANTASTIC port, graphics are better than the recently released Lunar&Lunar2 ports on consoles. Now we just NEED LUNAR 2 done the same way! Apple TV version is awesome with controller support!!

### 2/5 — Love the game hate the app

*2025-04-20, version 3.4.1*

This is one of my all time favorite games and I was so looking forward to playing it. But every time I play and get into a store or a battle the touch interface messes up.  Way too glitchy.

### 5/5 — Melhor jogo de RPG

*2025-04-14*

Ótimo jogo! Só tinha jogado o Eternal Blue 2, mas sempre quis jogar o primeiro. Gostaria de saber se pretende fazer o mesmo com o Lunar Eternal Blue 2. Se fizer pode ter ctz q vou comprar.

### 5/5 — more port to mobile please

*2025-03-10, version 3.3.3*

More lunar port would be appreciated

### 5/5 — Enjoyed this game

*2025-03-02, version 3.3.3*

I really enjoyed this game. I thought the story, artwork and gameplay were great and binged this game to completion during a recent session stuck in the spare room with  covid. Slight issues with the controller but just switched controls when i got stuck. I played on a small iphone se3 and was able to use controls and see everything clearly enough to accurately play and enjoy.  It was visually lovely also. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Amazing port of a must play game

*2025-01-15, version 3.3.1*

This is one of my all time favorite RPGs and this mobile port is so well done, you can feel the love the developers have for the franchise. Years after release they’re STILL updating the game for compatibility with newer systems and OS and even adding new options. If you’re considering getting it it’s well worth it!

### 5/5 — Great game

*2025-01-12, version 3.3.1*

Love this game. The port is good. Backbone works and nice QoL settings.

### 5/5 — Great

*2024-12-18, version 3.3.1*

Definitely a solid jrpg. The voice acting is different from the original so the nostalgia doesnt hit as much but still an amazing port! As much as I hated Nall’s squeaky voice in the original, I do miss it. Looking forward to Eternal Blue.

### 3/5 — No More Vertical Mode with Virtual Controller…

*2024-10-28, version 3.3.1*

This game is really high quality and a wonderful port of the Saturn/PS1 version, as far as I can tell. However, it seems like there’s no more option to play it with the phone in a vertical mode, with a virtual controller underneath, which use to be one of the ways to play, and my preferred way of doing so. Unfortunately, this has hampered the experience for me, and I hope it is added back.

### 5/5 — Remaster du Meilleur jeu du mega Cd

*2024-08-26*

Remaster du Meilleur jeu du Mega Cd. D’abord remaké dans une version PS1 et Saturn, avant d arriver sur Ios, un must have des rpg des années 90. 
Depuis fin 2023, bcp d améliorations (version 3) sur le jeu avec notamment l ajout des difficultés Saturn Jap et USA PS1.

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2024-08-20, version 3.3.0*

Not my first time playing though Lunar but this is perhaps the definitive version of the game. Thoroughly enjoyed my time with it. Gamepad support was excellent, couldn’t even tell I was playing a mobile game.

### 5/5 — Oh how sweet it is!

*2024-08-15, version 3.3.0*

This is awesome, really brings me back to the ps one days and plays seamlessly! Only thing is I wish the soundtrack/voices could be changed to the original but still fun! I really hope they do the same for Lunar 2 Eternal Blue and make it available as well. Great job!

### 5/5 — Great!

*2024-08-08, version 3.3.0*

Great so far! Well worth the moolah! Defo recommend. Better value than most games in the store. :D
They even gave it an update they’d been working on for a long time in August 2024! That’s dedication.

### 4/5 — Good game minor annoyances

*2024-07-24, version 3.2.5*

Good port only some minor issues I’m noticing. Can’t delete saves. Not a big deal I guess. No item descriptions with retro UI setting. It’s odd. Movie volume is hilariously low if playing on tv. Maybe they can tweak some things. So far I like it though.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2024-07-20, version 3.2.5*

This is so perfect, please port and clean up Eternal Blue as well :)

### 5/5 — Definitive version of Lunar 1 remake canon

*2024-07-02, version 3.2.4*

I've played the SEGA CD, PS1, PSP version of Lunar Silver Star, and discounting the SEGA CD version which is equal if only cause of how different it is from every remake, this port (Lunar SSST) is the definitive version of the remake canon. Graphics, FMV, and music are taken from the Saturn and Windows 9x version that were never officially released in the US, and are improved over the PS1 release. Working Designs' iconic PS1 dub is sadly not available due to legal reasons, but there is a mod that restores the WD dub to SSST, though it only works on MacOS. The translation is mostly taken from the WD PS1 version, so the charming dialogue and jokes are mostly intact. There's also an option to use the PSP music (good), the PSP dub (bad), and the Japanese voice actors (good). You can select the Japanese Saturn or English PS1 enemy stats, increase or decrease EXP/silver drops, etc... Did I mention it didn't crash at all? Overall, a must buy for a Lunar fan, especially on a Mac. SoMoGa, I hope you release Lunar 2 at some point.

### 4/5 — Some differences but awesome

*2024-06-29, version 3.2.4*

The opening theme, Nalls voice, Ramus’ voice and several other things were different from the original ps1 American release, but its heart is still there. Still my favorite.

### 1/5 — Touchscreen issues

*2025-04-21, version 3.4.1*

This port used to be great, but since the latest update, the game randomly will stop registering touch inputs on icons in menus etc. The issue mainly seems to surface if I switch to another app and then switch back. I’ll update my review back to 5 stars if you all fix this

### 1/5 — Planned Obsolescence.

*2025-01-24, version 3.3.1*

Works on iPad mini 2 but not on my new mini 4. Beyond scummy what a dirtbag company.

### 1/5 — New version obsolete

*2024-05-11, version 3.2.3*

Go to play this game again for the first time in a while to find it is no longer compatible with my device. Fine, give me my money back.

### 1/5 — No Longer Working

*2024-04-19, version 3.2.3*

Purchased a few years ago for iPad air2 and it ran fine. Now the game is saying it’s incompatible with my iPad. Absolute scam to restrict me from playing due to an update.

### 1/5 — I asked for a refund

*2023-11-10, version 3.1.1*

This game is unplayable the hole menu disappeared on me and i cant open it to equip or save making it unplayable. Won’t recommend

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2023-11-05, version 3.1.1*

Keeps telling me that it’s not compatible with my device.

### 1/5 — Crashes 100% at load screen

*2023-05-14, version 3.0.7*

Trying to play this game but it crashes on load screen every time… iPhone 13 (16.4.1)

### 1/5 — Look what they did to my boy

*2023-05-11, version 3.0.7*

The original songs are what made the game. Absolute blasphemy what they did

### 1/5 — Kd os botões?

*2023-04-29*

Tirei do modo touch mas os botões são invisíveis, entrei num submenu e nao tem botão de retorno

### 1/5 — Update erased my progress

*2023-01-06, version 3.0.1*

Care to explain why this happened…

### 5/5 — Still supported so many years later

*2026-07-22, version 3.4.4*

Enjoyed this excellent port over a decade ago, and it’s amazing to see it being continuously worked on after all these years! Nice to know it’s always there and ready to pick up and play again.

The icing on the cake? No data collected! This is what mobile development should be.

### 5/5 — Better than Final Fantasy games

*2026-07-13, version 3.4.4*

Just finished the game and LOVED it. One of the best RPGs I’ve ever played (and I’ve been gaming since the early 90s). Great story, characters, music, magic and battle system. I guess by modern standards it’s linear and not open world, but that’s because you’re playing through an excellent story rather than just trying to collect things for the sake of it. 
Wonderful stuff all round.

### 5/5 — Great Game, Please release the sequel on IOS

*2026-06-05, version 3.4.4*

My favorite game and the sequel is great. I own it on several systems, including the first ones on sega CD.

### 5/5 — Begeistert

*2026-04-07*

Wow. Einmal zahlen und dann so eine Story, diese Charaktere sind einfach goldig und die Cutscenen sind auch nicht schlecht. Davon können sich moderne Spiele eine Riesenscheibe abschneiden. Ist turnbased beim kämpfen und so ein bisschen Final Fantasy mässig.
PS: Bin gerade fertig geworden. Was für ein Spiel. Wie soll ich jetzt was finden, was da auf dem Ipad ansatzweise rankommt ?

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-03-17, version 3.4.4*

Love this game. The port is good. Backbone works and nice QoL settings.  Better than the console remaster.

### 5/5 — Lunar 2 Touch

*2026-02-25, version 3.4.4*

Please bring out Lunar 2 Touch

### 5/5 — how do i delete saves

*2026-01-18, version 3.4.4*

great game,but how

### 5/5 — Lots of Updates

*2025-10-19, version 3.4.3*

This version has restored the higher res pixel art and effects of the Japanese only Saturn and Win95 releases. It weirdly looks better than the other more recent release.

### 5/5 — I Need Help

*2025-08-25, version 3.4.3*

I need a refund for this game please. It gives me constant headaches

### 5/5 — One of the All-Time Greats

*2025-06-03, version 3.4.2*

One of the best RPGs of all time
