You can’t use grenades?

Honestly disappointing. I connected a Bluetooth controller only to find out it supports all the buttons except for grenades. Beyond disappointing. Don’t bother with this title unless you want to get a hand cramp tapping the screen.

Cボタンはパッド割り当て不可（PS4コンで確認)

たったこれだけ欠いてくれたおかげで商品価値は0円に近いと私は思いました。大手ゲーム会社はもう過去形なのですね‥

ガッカリ

久しぶりにゲームと思って購入したけど、コントローラーの感度わるすぎ、振り返り攻撃やりにくすぎ、これは売り物になりません。

Fix grenades on controller.

Im giving a 3 star rating because when I connect my controller to play for some reason I can’t throw any grenades please fix this issue.
