### 4/5 — Good with controller

*2024-07-07, version 1.3.1*

Great controller support, but alright touchscreen. To play well with touchscreen, you need to use the SP and AB buttons, and its not made very clear that you can use desperation moved by touching the healthbar

### 1/5 — Está sem som

*2026-05-09*

Está sem áudio

### 1/5 — Botões muito pequenos.

*2026-01-18*

Os botões são minúsculos, impedindo completamente a possibilidade de jogar. Arrumem isso, por favor.

### 1/5 — Botões pequenos. Idioma inglês

*2025-08-22*

Quero cancelar a compra que fiz

### 1/5 — Unplayable

*2025-01-03, version 1.3.1*

The max button size is way too small I can barely even see them

### 1/5 — Poor controls/games to meta

*2024-12-25, version 1.3.1*

I found the controls difficult even when I switch to controller. The games is too meta. The last thing I want is a fighting game that starts to frustrated and annoying, especially when the controls are bad.

### 1/5 — Kof

*2024-10-04*

Nao tem som ???????

### 1/5 — Arcade Archives Version is better

*2023-10-20, version 1.3.1*

Don’t spend your money on this, Neo-Geo Arcade Archives (ACA) version is better. This hasn’t been updated in a long time and a waste of money.

### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY IN 2023

*2023-02-01, version 1.3.1*

The game is UNPLAYABLE. Buttons are small, the screen is small, and the controls are unresponsive. I’ve requested a refund multiple times, everytime I was DENIED. Sure KOF is a good game series, but the mobile ports are TERRIBLE. Until these issues will get fixed, which is completely unlikely because the mobile ports are neglected. DON’T buy it. I hop I saved people 3 bucks. Donate it to cancer or something.

### 1/5 — Download to my iPad can’t control

*2022-07-29, version 1.3.1*

This game designed was supposed to be a arcade game but it turns out that a game controller cannot connect. The controls on the screen blocks the view and is inconvenient. Hope the team can update that soon.

### 1/5 — 按键太小了

*2022-07-06*
