Screen joystick too stagnant. Plug in game controller, grenades will not throw. Plus game crashes a lot. Glad it’s port. But yeah ### 3/5 — Can’t change position of C button on iPad *2025-01-29, version 1.4.1* Makes it nearly impossible to throw a grenade ### 4/5 — Neoeagile *2024-08-11, version 1.4.1* No key configuration for a bomb button. ### 2/5 — ¡¡¡Los botonee !!! *2024-07-26, version 1.4.1* Hagan que los botones sean más modernos, con trabajos puedo disparar hacia arriba y abajo. ### 2/5 — Grenade button isn’t mapped *2024-06-22, version 1.4.1* Not a bad port. I play on a PS5 controller and everything is mapped except the grenade button. I have to resort to tapping on the screen to use my grenades/cannons. I’d give this port a solid 4 or even 5 stars if I was able to use the grenade button on my PS5 controller. ### 1/5 — 即削除 *2024-06-20* 久々にかなりイライラした。 ### 3/5 — samurai shodown warriors rage *2024-03-11, version 1.4.1* we want samurai shodown warriors rage ### 1/5 — 買うな！ *2024-02-22, version 1.4.1* パッドプレイすると ボムボタン無いぞ！ 強制終了するぞ 買うな！ ### 2/5 — 建議別買 *2024-01-26, version 1.4.1* 左搖桿部份無法調整大小 整個超難操控的 一不小心手指滑太多就不受控了 而且人物動起來很鈍，常常變慢動作 玩起來完全不流暢 這樣來說根本就是花錢買罪受 我用的載具是IPhone 13 供參考 ### 1/5 — Don’t buy this! Neo Geo ACA version is better! *2023-12-15, version 1.4.1* Don’t waste your money on this! Neo Geo ACA (Arcade archives) version is better! This hasn’t been updated in ages plus there are many discrepancies with the controls and no Bluetooth support! Don’t waste your money on this! Buy the Neo Geo ACA version instead! ### 1/5 — Waste of GOD DMN MONEY *2023-11-01, version 1.4.1* ITS SO BAD I CANT EVEN MOVE FORWARD IN THE FAME CANT EVEN GET PASSED FIRST LEVEL ITS SO TRASH NO FAKE AS REVIEW ### 1/5 — Mal *2023-10-16, version 1.4.1* Con que se pueda modificar y corregir la posición y tamaño de los botones, van a tener muchísimas más descargas de este auténtico clásico, pero arréglenlo ### 2/5 — Problemi di ottimizzazione *2023-10-03, version 1.4.1* Secondo me e arrivato il momento di fare un aggiornamento per migliorare l'ottimizzazione ### 1/5 — Lastima de juego *2023-10-02, version 1.4.1* El juego funcionaba bien pero con sus actualizaciones el mando virtual parece q fuera en iPad y yo juego en iPhone y son muy pequeños los mandos arréglenlo por favor ### 2/5 — Problemas *2023-09-19, version 1.4.1* El Joystick no funciona muy bien, principalmente al momento que pelear con los jefes de misión que es cuando más lo necesitas ### 1/5 — Vergonzoso *2023-09-10, version 1.4.1* Va a trompicones en un ipadPro, emulador malísimo un robo ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Malos controls *2025-11-02, version 1.4.1* No Compton este Nuevo el yo stick no sirve y no vale la pena gastar dinero en lo absoluto ### 1/5 — Pésimo *2025-08-19, version 1.4.1* Sus controles son un asco no puedo disfrutar el juego ### 1/5 — Infruibile *2025-04-04, version 1.4.1* Comandi touch che rendono il titolo in giocabile, soldi buttati ### 1/5 — It's too hard to control *2025-03-16, version 1.4.1* The left stick stops immediately when pushed beyond it's range！！ ### 1/5 — Cボタン（ボム） *2024-12-14* 現状MFIコントローラーではA（銃）B（ジャンプ）の二つのコマンドしか使用できない。 Y、Xボタンは対応されていない為、ボムの使用ができない iosではKeyLinkerアプリでも対応できなかった ボム割り振りボタン（X、Y）ので使用できる仕様に改善お願いします。 ### 1/5 — コントロールできない *2024-11-13* 細かいコントロール不可能 ### 1/5 — 돈 버리고 싶은 분만 사셈 *2024-08-15, version 1.4.1* 조작법 개 꽝이고 렉걸리고 돈 버렸음 ### 1/5 — Chafa *2024-08-01, version 1.4.1* No vale la pena comprarlo, los botones están muy corrientes cuenta mucho controlarlo ### 1/5 — 操作性悪すぎ *2024-07-02* 操作性悪すぎて弾避けれません 上方向に銃向けれない 改善してください このシリーズ全て同じ操作性なので、改善されなければ、詐欺になると思います 出来れば返金お願いしたい ### 1/5 — 3 euro *2024-06-26, version 1.4.1* 1 euro per i colpi di pistola ok 1 euro peri salti ok 1 euro per le bombe, non funzionano!
