Community Insight:
Con el soporte de controles pues ya es mas practico solo falta que lo pongan a pantalla completa y estaria perfecto.
It is stated that Bluetooth controller support feature was added but thats not the case. Theres no option showing how to connect to it. Please help.
Its a shame that we wasted our money on this game it said Bluetooth controller supported it did not work for us Im not happy with this game at all.
We love the classic games they are bringing back to iphone ipad, but for 3,99 they are just to expensive to collect them. Id rather buy other cheaper games, but at least we have more of them. We would buy these games if they were 1,99 to 2,99, not anymore.
But pls add the multiplayer so we can play with our friends and more credit what we mean that do it like the other metal slugs like 1,2,3,x.
It would be better if we could use backbone controller with it.
Please add mfi controller support EDIT: there is controller support its the little icon on the bottom right in the opening menu.
Please continue making the rest of the ports in this style it feels a lot more whole and polished compared to the other ports of the first four games.
Grew up with this series and in love with it even so that we bought all the games on every platform, but our big fingers get in the way so if you can add controller support that would be awesome.
We love this game, but its annoying to play without the controller support, make it compatible, pls.
Because when we go on its a Black Screen and it never comes on.
Game launches but once you select which version to play it proceeds to a black screen. – Used to work back in the day.
The app opens but once you,pick a game mode the game goes to a black screen forever. We have an M1 iPad Pro. Please fix this.
Well the sound to good to be thrut because is not even playable when you but it unfortunately dont return the money spend on This thing not stars at all.
Zero stars!!! Downloaded, home screen came up, chose every version/option and screen goes black every time!! And we expect a refund will not be forthcoming! Rip off.
Esto no sirve como debe de servir.
Hey we just downloaded the game and there is no sound?? We checked the option and sound is 100% this is iPhone 12 Pro Max . Please we need assistance asap. Thanks,.
