### 3/5 — Necesitamos soporte para mandos

*2023-05-28, version 1.1.0*

Este juego es un clásico, pero lastima que no tenga soporte para jugar con un mando. Por favor ojalá lo actualices para poder jugar más fácil con un mando. Un juego de peleas como estos requiere movimientos especiales y un mando es ideal. Es muy feo tener que jugar con botones virtuales. Estos juegos nacieron para ser jugados con mando entonces es el colmo que no estén adaptados. 😔

Please! Add Controler support 🙏

### 4/5 — アケアカシリーズの中では

*2022-03-17*

コマンドも複雑でなく同時押しなどの操作も少ないので最も遊びやすいのではと思います。同時押しボタンの数の少なさは難点で貴重なボタンがコイン投入とスタートボタンというのはやや残念に思います。嫌ならコントローラーということなのでしょう。

### 4/5 — Falta un modo práctica

*2022-03-15, version 1.0*

Esta bien pero hace falta un modo donde uno pueda practicar y más opciones para ajustar los controles a más acomodo .

### 4/5 — Backbone

*2022-03-01*

Great game, love it but it needs to be updated for backbone controller. If you have long and/or big fingers it is difficult to play.

### 3/5 — いつでも、どこでもセーブ＆ロード

*2022-02-04*

格ゲー苦手な人でも
こちらが一撃入ったらセーブ、やられそうならロードを駆使すれば確実にクリアできます。
繰り返しプレイしてたら、そのうち上達する…かもね。

【悪い点】
・練習モードがない
・技表が全キャラ一覧になってて自キャラまで下にスクロールしないとならないのが、かなりめんどい！
これはかなりのストレス！！
・左スティックが(当たり前だが)スマホ画面の
突起のない平面なので操作しづらい。

星3てトコですね。

### 3/5 — 天草強すぎ

*2022-01-01*

まず必殺技だしにくいし
こんなんでどーしろっての

### 4/5 — 面白いけど

*2021-12-13*

難易度調整も真サムよりうまくできてるが、レベル1でも、キャラにより、天草戦では闇雲に強斬りしてるだけでは勝てません。
超必殺技がだしにくい。

### 5/5 — [Update] Just found the setting for special buttons for the combination of commands✌🏻

*2021-12-04*

Dear Developers, thank for bringing this game to us. This is a great game indeed. I just found the setting for pressing two or three buttons at the same time, such as, pressing A+B (or C+D), which makes the game easier and more fun.👍🏻
這遊戲真的很棒，我們小時候的回憶，在玩遊戲的過程中可以利用設定設置組合按鍵的招式，例如：使用大絕招時，會需要同時按下兩個按鈕跟方向鍵，讓用手機螢幕玩這遊戲的玩家，可以更方便的使用招式。

### 5/5 — More Samurai Showdown!

*2021-12-02*

It plays great… Although I wish there was a practice mode. Any chance for the Samurai Showdown NEOGEO Collection? Make dreams come true!!!

### 5/5 — Neat

*2021-12-02*

It’s SamSho 4. Works well and supports Bluetooth controllers with button mapping. Only complaint is button mapping would be easier if it were by button press instead. 

Looking forward for more. Big Tournament Golf would be great to have at all times.

### 1/5 — Làm nút điều khiển khó quá hối hận khi tải ghê

*2025-10-26, version 1.1.0*

Quá tệ cho nút bấm

### 1/5 — No switch controller support

*2023-12-24*

I tried my joy cons with this and every single game made by hamster. No hamster game has controller support. Meanwhile Mark of the wolves works flawlessly. Dont buy any ports made by hamster if you want to use controllers, which is the only fun way to play these games. I bought this because someone else said it supported controllers, what controller is that?

### 1/5 — DOES NOT WORK

*2022-10-30*

***WARNING***Do not pay for this app… it will not load.

### 1/5 — all neogeo games by aca stopped working

*2022-10-12*

better hurry to fix this serious problem

### 1/5 — Many of the ACA games no longer work!!

*2022-09-21*

This game, as well as many of the other SNK Hamster games, no longer work. They get stuck after the initial screen. 

I used to checked each week to see which classic game was re-released, but I can’t purchase a game that doesn’t work within a few months. Please fix!

### 1/5 — No controller support

*2021-12-02, version 1.0*

I was hoping these new games would have controller support like the free King of Fighters game from 10 years ago does, but nope. Would be excellent otherwise and I’d buy all of them in this series, but who on Earth is going to play Neo Geo games with touch controls…?

### 1/5 — Deception

*2021-12-01*

first i was happy to know that SNk is finally releasing its classics for IOS, i bought it right away!  But then came the disappointment, the game does not support Xbox One and PS4 controllers, and the iPad is not full screen!  I urge you to correct this urgently!

### 2/5 — Black screen

*2022-11-26*

The game doesn’t work. I try to launch it and all I get is a black screen

### 2/5 — ダメ

*2022-01-23*

操作しづらい。
技出しにくい。
システムの画面ローテーション対応しない。
コントローラー対応しない。

なんで以前他のアプリでできたことダメになってるだろう....

お金の無駄使いだった。

### 3/5 — Do not detect controllers

*2025-06-26, version 1.1.0*

Impossible to play with controllers like the backbone

### 5/5 — controller support request

*2023-11-13, version 1.1.0*

### 5/5 — Thank you

*2023-01-22*

Great port for ios. Respect. However, it needs a training mode.

### 5/5 — good

*2023-01-15, version 1.0*

hope the publisher can release the game "sengoku 3" and "Cadilacs and dinosours" neogeo

### 5/5 — Incredible

*2022-07-25*

Oh the nostalgia! What a gorgeous port. Everything I hoped for. For those who have played the original arcade version you won’t be disappointed. Always been a SS over SF fan. Once I connected my MFI controller things got even better. Thank you SNK for doing this justice. SS4 is considered the best release in the series and I would totally agree.

### 5/5 — Great classic fighting game

*2022-04-06, version 1.0*
