Great Gameplay Ruined by Connectivity Problems!!

This game has great potential, but the issues are very frustrating. Wi-Fi mode often fails to connect with friends, and online matches are extremely laggy and delayed even with a strong connection. The controls are good, but the lack of resizable buttons is disappointing. Please fix these problems as soon as possible.

업데이트좀 해라

출시한지 10년은 넘은거 같은데 이제 해상도는 적어도 FHD로, 30프레임에서 60프레임으로 업데이트좀 해라. 눈 썩겠다. 2025년에 30프레임이라니….에효..
