### 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

### 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

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

*2026-03-17, version 1.07.00*

Please add controller support

### 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?

### 2/5 — Controller support

*2026-03-01, version 1.07.00*

Please add controller support

### 2/5 — Controler support needed

*2026-02-19, version 1.07.00*

I feel like i wasted my money on a game that doesn’t have controller support. The game is cool but i cant enjoy it being forced to play on screen only. Thats the only downside for me. Controller support lacking makes the game almost unplayable.

### 4/5 — Please give controller support

*2026-02-08, version 1.07.00*

A good conversion for phone/ touch screenplay

### 2/5 — feels amateurish

*2026-01-01, version 1.07.00*

this doesn’t feel like a real mega man game at all. it looks and plays like a flash internet fan game from the early 2000’s.

### 3/5 — Maverick hunter achievement broken

*2025-08-10, version 1.07.00*

I managed to complete the game with just using the x buster but I didn’t get the achievement. I even tried doing it without dashing or anything else. Did I do something wrong or is it broken? Was the zero buster the reason I didn’t get it or was it bugged? I hope you fix this achievement.

### 4/5 — Pretty fun but (obviously) not as good as the original

*2025-06-19, version 1.07.00*

I like it but it does not reach the quality of the original which I expected it not to reach the quality of the original,but regardless it is still very fun

### 2/5 — NEEDS CONTROLLER SUPPORT

*2025-06-06, version 1.07.00*

Just make it happen guys.  You’d be surprised at how much of a cash cow this would be for you if y’all did

### 1/5 — For Mega Man?????

*2025-05-24, version 1.07.00*

How on earth could any developer possibly think this game would be even fractionally as enjoyable without controller support???? I was over the moon when I found Mega Man on the App Store, then I find it only supports touch controls. If they released all the old MM games (OG, X series, Zero Series, Legends series, Command Mission, etc.), I would happily pay even App Store prices for all of them; but, controller support, you’ve got to be kidding me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! One star until this is resolved. Lifelong fan, it pains me to give this rating.

### 1/5 — No fun without controller

*2026-06-18, version 1.07.00*

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

### 1/5 — Backbone Support

*2026-05-05, version 1.07.00*

Game needs to support the backbone controllers.

### 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.

### 1/5 — Muito ruim

*2025-12-29*

Uma versão extremamente horrível do megaman X, versões de emuladores são MUITO melhores

### 1/5 — Add controller support

*2025-10-10, version 1.07.00*

No controllers accepted

### 1/5 — Sem suporte a joystick

*2025-09-26*

Uma pena um jogo tão bom sem suporte a joystick físico!!!

### 1/5 — Not full screen

*2025-09-23, version 1.07.00*

Not full screen on iPhone 17 waste of money

### 1/5 — Well…

*2025-09-20, version 1.07.00*

It’s a good game but like SirYogurtKnight pointed out, this game desperately needs controller support. Let’s get this done.

### 1/5 — Its not compatible with controller

*2025-08-08, version 1.07.00*

I bought this game because i wanted to play it on my new “steelseries nimbus+ controller”.
But is not compatible at all! I wonder if capcom will ever update it for iphone xr or new ipad air 2019. I love the game but it is annoying that capcom knows exactly this game came out for snes and always used controller to play it. If you please update the app for the controller system compatibility it will be another story! Thanks for nothing capcom! 😒

### 1/5 — No Controller Support???

*2025-06-03, version 1.07.00*

The title says it all this game has no controller support. As someone who grew up playing this game I couldn’t possibly understand why anyone would want to play it without a controller.

### 5/5 — Need controller support

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

### 5/5 — Awesome game

*2026-03-07, version 1.07.00*

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

### 5/5 — My review

*2026-01-28, version 1.07.00*

So, I’m assuming that you came here as a big Mega Man X fan, like me. Capcom tells little to nothing about other things that I have figured out and am going to tell you now. 

First thing is the Hadouken. The Hadouken is still in this game, you still just have to get all the items (all the armor upgrades, health upgrades e.t.c.) but, instead of it not carrying over into a password, this port has a built in save system which will save the Hadouken and pretty much everything else in the game.

That’s as good of a transition as any to move on to the save system. Like I mentioned before, it saves everything, including the Sigma Stages! And, it lets you select which ever stage you want to play after unlocking it, so you can play Sigma Stage 3 and then go back to 1 if you would like.

Lastly, I wanted to talk about the Game Center additions. There are 60 achievements to get, including beating the game without any items or upgrades and 59 more. They also added 4 different modes to compete in, (which all have their own leaderboard) from Score Attack to speed running the different stages, you’ll find one you’re good at. (Btw, I’m apparently in the top 1% of players in Score Attack, so I don’t know if I’m too good or no one wants to play this…

So I’ll leave it to you whether or not you want to pay the 5 bucks (which I got for 99 cents on a HUGE sale) for this port. If you’re coming here to experience Mega Man X for the first time, just buy the Legacy Collection.

### 5/5 — Pls

*2025-12-01, version 1.07.00*

Pls add controller support

### 5/5 — Otimo jogo

*2025-07-13*

Mas trás mega man 12 pra celular

### 5/5 — It is the best game. I don’t know what y’all talking about.

*2025-06-29, version 1.07.00*

It is so good. It is better than sonic games.

### 5/5 — Ótimo.

*2025-05-21*

Vendo as avaliações, percebo que o óbvio também precisa ser dito: 1) o jogo está em inglês , 2) os controles são na própria tela, 3) para ter som, é preciso tirar o IPhone do silencioso, 4) para salvar o progresso, é preciso clicar na pastinha de SALVAR, senão tudo será perdido , 5) o jogo não trava em nenhum momento

### 5/5 — This game needs to be fixed in android port

*2025-04-10, version 1.07.00*

Thanks

### 5/5 — Please add vile mode.

*2025-04-09, version 1.07.00*

Will you please add vile mode please?
