Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
It is so good. It is better than sonic games.
Will you please add vile mode please.
We like it but it does not reach the quality of the original which we expected it not to reach the quality of the original,but regardless it is still very fun.
This doesnt feel like a real mega man game at all. It looks and plays like a flash internet fan game from the early 2000s.
Just make it happen guys. Youd be surprised at how much of a cash cow this would be for you if yall did.
Please add Backbone controller support.
After beating this game so many times the fact that it reminds you of the old systems and play styles is great.
Idk why that they have to make the hadukeon a secret.
Megaman x has been a long time console game for us and Id love it more if we could use our backbone.
We do like this game but it needs improvement.
Super fun game we had a blast playing.
It needs to have controller support.
We want backbone support!! It will make the game even more enjoyable.
We think it would make sense to have controller support for this game.
This is an amazing port of one of our childhood games we played and there is only one thing we were this game to have though. Capcom, PLEASE add backbone controller support so we can use our backbone controller to play the game. We hope you get this review and add backbone controller support.
We love Mega Man X, but it would be fantastic to have some controller support gor an improved experience.
This like a blast from the past! We remember playing this game on the Super Nintendo. Im glad that you can save the Hadouken. We wish that the original one was set up like this.
Great game, please add controller support. Being able to use a controller would make this a lot better. Thank you.
We loved this gamesince we were young,the game is excellent Im so glad they made it for iOS,can we please get a mega man X 2.
Good game and great game well done capcom.
Could use controller support, thank you.
Thank you for bringing mainstream mega man games to iOS! But whos idea was it not to have controller support?? That should be an option to those who take this game seriously. Cmon guys.
Please make mega man X be supported for Backbone usage.
Capcom, we love this game. It will bring people from the 80s-90s who are fans of MM X games nistolga (if thats how you pronounce it). But why did you have to get rid of the Classic Mega Man mobile games. Also we would like if youd made other MM X games like X2 or X3. But its good the way it is so far. Thank you Capcom for bringing us joy.
We bought this game thinking it was going to have controller support,we were going to ask for a refund but we really love Megaman x series so we thought Id ask. Can you please add controller support Thank you! So Im here again and we were hoping you guys would consider adding remote support we love this game so much.
This game needs to be harder! Its still really fun! There needs to be mega man x 2 remake.
Im always going to play this game a lot. But can you make it to where it doesnt make you start over.
We need the ability to rotate the screen so we can play with a remote (backbone controller) That would be amazing.
We are also happy to see the developers continue to update and support this wonderful game.
We absolutely adore the original SNES version of course, but this remaster is lacking in a lot of ways, we wont get too into it since anything bad Ive gotta say about this pretty much everyone else has already stated, but for a mobile game its definitely pretty cool and we do have a lot of fun with it. Something that has kinda bummed us out is that the enhancements shop appears to be down/unavailable on IOS and we really wanted to purchase the arranged BGMs, but oh well maybe itll be back up soon its fine. Do we recommend this, If you like Mega Man X, yeah sure its a cute little mobile de-make of the spectacular original its sure to keep you busy passing time and whatnot.
So we played this game a lot on our switch and we saw this app and got since 5 bucks is not a lot and we beat it so we got the hadouken later that day and its like impossible to use pls just add a button for it and once u take damage it disapears.
Love the game so much fun but cant save our progress.
We are enjoying the game we just dont know how to save our progress! Send help.
How could you release a classic like Mega Man X and not give us controller support? Please consider it; it would make playing this classic from our childhood so much better.
Im Not saying that this game is bad but the controls they are broken like why these broken controls are lettin us die CAPCOM fix this.
This game is not a bad port by means but we feel like somehow even in normal difficulty they have to make this game easier. Im guessing because of the touch controls. Maybe adding a controller support would be nice. Also, not too long ago Capcom just release the whole X Series on modern consoles and PC, we would love to see at least X2, X3, and X4 on smartphones too, considering Smartphones nowadays are a lot more powerful than they used to.
It would be perfect if it had controller support.
This is obviously one of the most amazing games on the SNES. Smoothness could be vastly improved (frame rate issue?) as we are running this on an iPhone 15 Pro Max so there really should be no excuses. Also, the elephant in the room. Really, no Backbone One support? Or any controller? Why? Incredible game. Truly one of the greatest. Disappointing port. Please correct.
Update game to allow controller port For touch allow sliding thumb joystick Otherwise port is excellent and iconic.
This game is great and Im happy it was ported to iPhone but it doesnt do well with touch controls, however we understand its running on an iPhone. Controller compatibility would make this perfect honestly.
Need game controller support and this would be great.
Please allow it to be played on the backbone.
The game looks amazing. But theres one thing this game is desperately in need of to feel like it was worth the $5 we paid for it and thats controller support. Why does capcom do this with most of their games. We dont mind paying but come on these games need controller support because the screen controls just dont cut it. Help us out capcom!!!! We need controller support ASAP!!!!! Otherwise this game wont get played as much and thats just a waste of money for a game that should be free.
We mean its mega man x so its gonna be good but what hold this game back is the touch controls. For as long as Ive had this version Ive never beat it because Ive just not gotten use to those controls. If you added support for a Bluetooth controller or something then it would be even better. Touch screen directional pad needs some work.
The game is good its just not a super full remake since the graphics look quite pixelated areas and the moving animations. Theres only three animations for each of them which makes it look very weird, but the game is still good.
We beg of you, PLEASE add controller support. This would instantly bump this from 2 to 4 or even 5 stars for us. We cant play this game using touch screen. You have some amazing games on the App Store, please update this one so we can enjoy it.
When zero died his green boob was in our face were not close like that we swear.
We love MegaMan X its a classic but this game would be perfect if it could only be controller compatible.
Please support mega man x game please. Its the reason we bought the controller.
Lame. No controller support, please update it to be good.
