Disappointed

Apple and developers took pointers from india
Positive by now this was an operation made in a call center, scam likely👎🏼
Bad control
The buttons are too small, my finger can’t fit. Please make the buttons bigger.

The app has no sound , and have lag a lot .
Controller support!
It’s almost perfect, but controller support doesn’t work correctly! Please update it! We need it!!!!!!!!!
Joystick
Joystick is really hard to control 😠
This game needs to be fixed immediately
I’ve been running into a problem when I reset the virtual joysticks. I clicked reset and now the joysticks are way smaller than before and they’re stuck like that. This is the worsts glitch ever, click reset and now you can’t play because the size of the joystick won’t go back to normal.
They haven’t fixed controllers compatibility
They should warn people that this game is not compatible with controllers, they shouldn’t be selling this game if you can’t use controllers with it. You won’t be able to throw bombs to your enemies in the game.
Control are so weird dude I want my money back how can I get my money back

Plz fix
Grande button doesn’t work with mfi controllers.
Pesimos controles
El juego se debería llamar “intenta acomodar los botones para jugar”. Me encanta este juego y estaba muy emocionado de poder jugarlo de nuevo, pero es super desepcionante ver q jamas puedes acomodar los botones a un nivel “jugable”, terminas frustrandote y no jugando, llevo 6 dias intentando mover los controles para jugar comodamente y es imposible, si estan pensando hacer la compra les recomiendo q no lo hagan. Lastima de tan buen juego :(
Do NOt buy.!
Can’t fix control…! Do not buy.!!!!!!!! I repeat do not BUY IT.!!!!!!! hpt Tu madre.!
Horrible
Very disappointed control figuration is horrible very difficult to move the jump and granade button and ur limited I want the jump button on the right side of the screen not on the left but u can’t move it past the middle… didn’t even bother playing waste of money
Controller not working
Current iOS version 14.6 controller doesn’t work and fixed in a strange position which makes no sense. In short: DONT BUY IT!!! Complete trash
Iphone 12 pro max
Not compatible dont waste ur money
Cant move buttons from screen
Key configuration needs to be updated. I can’t move “C” & “A” away from the center of the screen which makes it so hard to play the game since my fingers are always in the middle of the screen to access those buttons. I think the app needs to be updated. Playing on an iphone 11promax
Settings
I can’t modify the controls on the game, just the letter B and the pause, but not the A and C. Why!? I can’t okay with the joystick en the A in the same spot.
This game is a joke!
The button are so big and I can play with it. Fix the game or give back my money.
Not compatible
I’m having problems the control buttons are in different position so I can’t play the game because are 3 at the same place
Doesn’t work
I can’t move the key buttons on my screen, the size is too big and uncomfortable for me. I love this game but I can’t play it like this.
Metal Slug X
Need some advice here! Was hype to play this ! On my IPhone 11 the controls are completely unusable ! Want my money back !
Garbage
Terrible Controls
Needs update for iOS 13 and mfi
Game crashes on iOS 13.5. No grenade mapping for mfi DualShock 4. Bad port
Rip-off
This game is a scam. The controllers don't work, and if you want to change the settings the game won't let you change anything so you can have different way to control the characters. They need to update how to control a the characters and make the controllers not so big cuz it covers the hole screen
Hola
El juego no tiene volumen alguien sabe q pasa??
No lo compren ni pidan reembolso!!
Gracias Apple por dejar que estas apps basura se encuentren en la app store. Vergüenza!!! Ni pidan reembolso porque estos idiotas de apple no te lo darán
Garbage controls, not adapted for phones at all
The controls are so frustrating. Extremely low effort port to a phone game.
Buttons DONT WORK for iPhone X
Love this game but the buttons don’t work you can’t move them to the place you want them to be hard to play ruined it

I love this game but now I can’t even play it bc the controls are all stupid for the iPhone XS Max the sticks to move are on top of the fire buttons & u can’t fix it to have the sticks on one side & the fire grenade buttons on the other side

It does resemble the original but the controls are really not good making really hard to enjoy the game plus it has lots of bugs that need to be fix. Wasn’t much but regret buying it

SNK needs to update. Game not working anymore!
I grew up playing these games. I enjoy them but ever since the IOS 11 updates now these games don’t work anymore. I tried to go on the developers website and that was a waste of time. Biggest run around ever. I hoping that by writing this review maybe Apple can help reach out. Otherwise give me a refund I paid for these games.
??????
I would love to give a review but since the developer has not updated the software to work with ISO 11 I can’t tell you how the game is. I basically wasted my money purchasing this game.
