### 1/5 — Scam and doesn’t work with controllers

*2025-09-13*

No controller support and no auto fire, terrible port. Save your money and stay away from

### 5/5 — 懐かしい

*2025-07-29*

全シリーズの中で一番好きな作品

This port DOES work with controllers, but the option has to be manually enabled from the main menu. Make sure your controller is paired, turned on, and linked with your device before launching the app. Once in the game, tap the link icon in the lower, right-hand corner of the menu. Select your controller and complete the setup process.

This is a solid port with excellent QOL options like auto-fire and adjustable turbo. The emulation is good and just as competent as the other ACA releases. If you love Metal Slug 3 and you want to play it on the go, you can’t go wrong with this version.

### 1/5 — コントローラーの認識が

*2025-06-22*

スマホ画面タッチだけでやるには移動がやりにくいのでコントローラーを買いましたが、iPhone側ではしっかりと認識して接続できてるのにゲームでは「コントローラーを検出できませんでした」と出ます。

### 4/5 — J’adore ce jeu

*2024-11-25*

J’adore la série des Métal Slug et le 3 ne fait pas exception e la règle. Par contre sur mon iPhone il y a des ralentissements (comme avec tous les jeux snk que j’ai téléchargé ) que je ne m’explique pas sur cette machine sachant que des jeux beaucoup plus sophistiqué fonctionnent parfaitement, d’où une étoile en moins.

### 5/5 — Mandos

*2024-09-20*

Agüen sabe si se puede conectar un control de Xbox para jugarlo más cómodo lo tengo en un iPad????

### 5/5 — Muy bueno

*2024-07-25*

Esta mejor este que el original, solo que no ay multiplayer 😓

### 5/5 — Vale la pena

*2024-07-05*

La verdad dudaba por los comentarios de los demás metal slug, pero ya comprándolo me di cuenta que este funciona al 100, viene más detallado en la pantalla de inicio de lo que esperaba

### 5/5 — Se ve genial <3

*2024-06-17*

El juego corre perfectamente. Pero además tiene muchas opciones de confguración. Si le quitas los filtros que vienen por defecto, la imagen se ve mejor y más limpia que en las capturas del appstore.

### 5/5 — Excelente

*2024-05-21*

No se traba y corre muy bien en iPhone 12.
