## Review summary

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.
