User Reviews

The reviews show strong nostalgia for Metal Slug on iOS but are hampered by technical issues: repeated black screens, inconsistent or unclear controller support, iOS 16 compatibility problems, sound issues, and concerns over price. While the porting effort and presentation are praised, users want a stable launch, reliable controller support, and potential multiplayer features to improve value.
Pros
  • Fans appreciate having classic Metal Slug titles available on iPhone/iPad.
  • Ports are described as polished and well-presented compared to earlier installments.
  • Controller support exists and is valued by players, even if imperfect.
  • Overall appreciation for the effort to bring these classic games to modern devices.
Cons
  • Frequent black screen crashes on launch or when selecting game modes.
  • Controller support often not functioning properly or is unclear how to connect.
  • Compatibility issues with iOS 16 and newer hardware (e.g., M1 iPad Pro).
  • High price (3.99) for retro ports or perceived insufficient value.
  • Occasional sound problems reported on some devices.

It is stated that Bluetooth controller support feature was added but that’s not the case. There’s no option showing how to connect to it. Please help.
