### 4/5 — Love the game

*2026-07-28, version 1.07.00*

I like the style of the original more but this game is still perfect

### 5/5 — Megaman x game

*2026-07-21, version 1.07.00*

Is so FUN AND HARD AT SAME TIME AND CHALLENGE PART IS NOT GET ANGRY!

### 1/5 — No fun without controller

*2026-06-18, version 1.07.00*

Skip this unless they add controller support. Hopefully they can.

### 5/5 — Need controller support

*2026-06-12, version 1.07.00*

Great game just need controller support. That would be amazing.

### 1/5 — Backbone Support

*2026-05-05, version 1.07.00*

Game needs to support the backbone controllers.

### 3/5 — It's good but final boss second phase is impossible

*2026-04-16, version 1.07.00*

Due to it being impossible to beat the final boss I deleted it this is mobile not arcade

### 1/5 — TENEBROSO

*2026-04-12*

O port de Mega Man X é simplesmente vergonhoso.
Roda com quedas constantes de FPS (claramente abaixo de 30 em vários momentos), cheio de travadinhas, com input lag perceptível e transições de tela bugadas que ficam piscando — algo que NÃO existia no original.
A apresentação é preguiçosa: preso em 4:3, sem upscale decente, sem opções modernas. Parece uma ROM mal emulada jogada às pressas.
Inacreditável que a Capcom lançou isso pago na App Store. A experiência é pior que no Super Nintendo original.

### 3/5 — Request controller support for backbone

*2026-03-17, version 1.07.00*

Please add controller support

### 5/5 — Awesome game

*2026-03-07, version 1.07.00*

Awesome game but would like to see X2, X3 and X4 too

### 4/5 — No controller support

*2026-03-05, version 1.07.00*

Great except for that large detail. It’s 2026 let’s have this updated?
