Awesome game but broken controls

I don't know if anyone else has this problem, as I didn't see any other complaints about this in reviews, but the SP button doesn't work at all. The shortcut buttons are A+B, for 3rd Strike style overhead, and A+C. I have no idea what A+C does. A good shortcut would be C+D which is a game mechanic when your character is in TOP style. Imo the shortcuts are necessary on a phone. The game is a ton of fun if you can use the old school inputs. Definitely buy this. Would be 5 stars if the shortcuts worked correctly.

The fact that they ported this is a dream come true!

One of the finest fighting games I've ever played. Full of depth, amazing characters and slick colourful animations. Not the best way to experience the game but definitely worth it to have this in a handheld form. I hope they continue the series someday. There has been a long drought in good fighting games. I'm glad to have this to remind me of the good times :) Thanks SNK and DotEmu. BTW the multiplayer didn't work for me. I'm looking forward to playing with people online. Also don't forget about Last Blade 2 and all the other amazing titles in the catalogue. PS for people complaining about the controls there are hotbuttons you can swipe for easier input and I'm actually shocked how well they got the controls. Peace!

Classic fun:)

Pretty good for a touch screen game. I'm all about physical controllers,but this is playable enough for a phone game. It has buttons that make the harder moves easier to pull off if you just can't seem to get the touch controls down. Haven't tried with icade jr. yet, but I was more interested in being able to carry this game in my pocket and play it on the go on my break at work or something. It serves the purpose in my opinion. Grab it while it's 99 cents;) Update: Tried with icade jr. and it works pretty good. I can't figure out how to change the button configuration,but the default has it as A=upper left button B=lower left button C=upper right button D=lower right button So it works out good for me. Only complaint I have is with the touch controls. I agree with other reviewers that this game needs a c+d button while using touch screen. Besides that it works pretty good. Update 2: I have noticed occasional slowdown, but the game still runs good for the most part on my iPhone 5s. Still recommend if you can grab it at 99 cents. Still a fun casual fighting game to pull out for a quick bit of entertainment:)

Great game. OK port

I love MOTW. I play it regularly on my Neo Geo (yes, I still have a Neo Geo). However, there are two things that make this game only an OK port compared to the other ports and formats that you can get it on. First, it crashes intermittently. Not really cool to get to the end of the game only to have it quit out while playing the ending sequence. Second is the lack of Apple TV support. C'mon guys! With one quick update you could push out a version that would give gamers a reason to dust off the Nimbus controller that they bought for their 4th gen AppleTV. I did a play through using AirPlay mirroring from my iPhone 6 to my Apple TV and it crashed, it had performance issues intermittently, and the audio skips in places. A native TV app would be ideal. Fix it and I'll update this review.

Great game, Mobile port needs a few changes.

If only I had a controller the experience would be great. If you are purchasing the game because you love old arcade fighters then this is a very tempting purchase. The problem lies in the controls though. Trying to do a simple 236, think hadouken from street fighter, is a chore and the AI however has no problem. The difficulty should be adjusted for mobile as it is much more difficult to pull off moves that are considered entry level BNB on any arcade or console with a decent control layout. The two extra buttons on the top right also seem to do nothing for me. Perhaps I am using them incorrectly? I have moved them, resized them, etc but nothing comes of pressing them. In truth, just adding a button to do special moves in conjunction with a single direction seems more appropriate on this platform as it is likely you will be constantly jumping or crouching instead of doing an actual move. TLDR: if you like missed commands and eating kicks to the face, buy this.

I guess it’s only for devices before the iPhone 11...

I’ve played this game a lot before on Xbox and the Nintendo Switch. When I found out it was for the iPhone, I was all a flutter. However to my disappointment, I discovered that the key configuration filled the entire screen that I couldn’t press anything except the movement stick. When I resized them to the smallest setting, I could only move a few of the keys. The keys I couldn’t move were the movement stick and all of the light and heavy attack buttons. Is there a fix to this or perhaps an iPhone 11 update coming soon? I want to rate this 5 stars just for the sake of the game, but it’s basically unusable for me thus I have to give it a 2.

BUYERS, BEWARE BUYING THIS!

I bought this and using it on my iPhone 12 and what odd (I didn’t even noticed) the whole screen size is small and I’m seeing clock or battery, knowing it not been updated for iOS 15 and once I play the game, all the button are big or covered the whole screen, and I try changing or resize it in setting. But some of button won’t detect my finger where I want to put it in specific area. Don’t buy this for newer phone, unless it has been updated. It need to be updated and hopefully developer will take a look on it.

A Laggy, Slow Disappointment (iPhone 7+)

I have an iPhone 7 Plus, the highest power iPhone model available at the time of writing. There is no reason why this app can't run on my phone. It runs at what feels like half speed at all times. The King of Fighters i-2012 runs better on this phone and not only is it extremely old and built for old devices, I'm pretty sure it has more going on under the hood. I've played this game on the Nintendo Switch and at EVO so I know that it's normally a good game. It is astounding how such a fun fighting game is given this sort of treatment. This game would make Street Fighter IV Championship Edition look like a complete and utter joke if only it was playable.
