I purchased the whole pack for about $8 and don’t regret it! The cool thing with the game is that you can change the graphics from original to filtered! Game play is the same as I remembered!Definitely a game worth purchasing! Also to the creator: I’m waiting for metal slug 6 and metal slug 7 please make these games available for our mobile devices and for the iPod touch 7 gen

Game crashes a lot. Screen joystick too stagnant.? Plug in controller. Grenades will not throw. Great port but yeah.
- Me.oo6 · v1.4.2
For people looking to buy this in 2025 the game lowkey runs great from any iPhone 12 and up I wouldn’t recommend playing with the touch pad I recommend playing with the controller through Bluetooth or backbone only issue is u can’t use grenades unless u touch the pad which isn’t a big issue that’s the only issue anything else or everything else runs smoothly I’ll say this for metal slug 1-3 and x all work this way I have yet to buy 4 and 5 but check it out soon to see if I left a review gonna buy it soon hope this helps
- SadRaccoon666 · v1.4.2
The controls are a bit difficult to work with… I wonder if there’s a way you can make the joystick better to use
- SOA HAWAII · v1.4.2

- Emmanuel Andre · v1.4.2

- Tjwebb86 · v1.4.2
These games lag soooooooooo bad, it becomes unplayable… control are annoying enough
- jpv911 · v1.4.2
Joystick is really hard to control 😠
- Crématorium · v1.4.2
The games is good just the controls are not good. If the controls were a lot better I would give it a 5 star. But sadly it does not give the fit.
- LeoTheOnePiece · v1.4.2
Bomb button doesn’t work with Bluetooth controllers. ☹️ I tried it with at least two controllers and nothing.
- Wolverine562 · v1.4.2
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.
- 🍉💣😡 · v1.4.2
This game is really fun I’ve been trying laying it for a while but the controls are too small they need to be a bit bigger please fix that cause I have a hard time playing cause sometimes I can’t even tap the control and I end up dying please make the controls bigger
- David23_14 · v1.4.2
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.
- Hectorveega · v1.4.2
Control are so weird dude I want my money back how can I get my money back
- Hervic88 · v1.3
Can’t setup bomb button on Xbox controller. Please assist.
- ajthechan · v1.3
If you have patience, you should go to controls set the buttons size at minimum and then it’s gets kind of tricky, the buttons abc are not going to move if they are in a certain area too close of the move pad I put the pause button on the upper right corner first You should try to move the control pad to a corner as much as possible then try to move the abc buttons to the desired position keeping the move pad’s dead zone in mind, however the a button it’s bigger than the others so you should play whit the size bar of the buttons a little, I spent like five minutes doing this and now it’s totally working in an iPhone 12 Pro Max I hope it works for you guys

Grande button doesn’t work with mfi controllers.
- Jmzrrr · v1.3
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 :(
- ibucho8@ · v1.3
This game could really use an optimization update to make it run better. The screen is too small and the touch screen controls seem unresponsive at times. Hopefully SNK or Dotemu can refresh this classic game.
- GunGunStyle · v1.3
Can’t fix control…! Do not buy.!!!!!!!! I repeat do not BUY IT.!!!!!!! hpt Tu madre.!
- qwerpjdhdj · v1.3
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
- j8a562 · v1.3
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
- William LIUWEN · v1.3
At the start of each game, I bought the bundle they controls all set up in a weird way and when going to key configuration to adjust only a few controls move and not all of them even when making them smaller they don’t move places at all I don’t know if it’s just my game or phone but want to get feed back on it because this game good
- Boofboii · v1.3
Not compatible dont waste ur money
- Sizzurpboi · v1.3
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
- th3mechanic · v1.3
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.
- azael desilos · v1.3
The button are so big and I can play with it. Fix the game or give back my money.
- Rosanegra969 · v1.3
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
- jerryreyes007 · v1.3
Listen to the reviews, they are correct on ALL metal slug games 1-X. The controls are terrible for this game. In easy mode this game functions, but there are critical levels that require simultaneous movement like diagonal shooting or jumping and shooting at the same time. The way touchscreen works on phones make it difficult to have 3 buttons pushed at the same time to execute this, limiting you to only 2 movements at a time. To top it off, each metal slug does not work with my rotor riot plug in controller. It works with every other game except this one, so I’m stuck with terrible controls and the lack of compatibility with one that could potentially fix this issue.
- Barbudo93 · v1.3
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.
- ThePhoenix25 · v1.3
Great game, but now when playing with controller, I can’t throw the granades. Please fix that problem!!!
- chelecool · v1.3
Need some advice here! Was hype to play this ! On my IPhone 11 the controls are completely unusable ! Want my money back !
- rick;3$645 · v1.3
Terrible Controls
- DΣΔL ШITH IT · v1.3
If you want to play with a controller you won’t be able to throw grenades but overall metal slug will always be a classic
- neos636 · v1.3
When i found this game i was super excited since this is one of the games i played as a child so u was super excited to play, but when i opened the game the controls were so weird. It’s so hard to control the buttons are all over the place even when i tried to move them around to try and make it easier to play but it became more frustrating. I wish i could move the buttons around wherever i want and not just half and only the joycon. Please make this easier to control i don’t want to regret my purchase.
- sailortwilight87 · v1.3
Game crashes on iOS 13.5. No grenade mapping for mfi DualShock 4. Bad port
- Ryry EJ · v1.3
Game play is fun, image quality is ok; but the grenade on Bluetooth doesn’t work. Review on ipad pro 2020
- Mr.Stunner · v1.3
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
- sponceve · v1.3
No good control
- no good control · v1.3
I love the entire metal slug franchise and to have it on my phone is better; the only two issues that I have are: when I connect my controller via Bluetooth, there is no way to throw grenades and they are extremely essential to the game, and there’s no way to continue. Hopefully an update can fix that issue
- VintageJoe · v1.3
Yo he comprado algunos juegos y no se puede jugar debido a que los controles aparecen al centro de la pantalla. Arreglen eso porfavor! Si no de nada sirve estar comprando
- AVLZag · v1.3
Thank you for the game I use to love it and play for hours but now the game not working right since the controls don’t work please fix it I pay for this game and would love to play again. It’s the same problem with the 2 3 x
