So much fun

In the 90’s I dreamed of one day having a neo geo system to play these arcade games at home, and now we can do it anywhere. This game is fantastic, a brilliant side-scrolling shooter with guts and charm. Some reviews say it’s not perfect and maybe those folk had the OG system or played it endlessly at the arcade but none of that matters if you’re just looking for a great arcade shooter for iOS. It’s worth the price and your time.

Exceptional Port - Exceeded My Expectations

I bought this game for 0.99 US thinking that it would be a small loss if it played poorly. However, it runs great and is an absolute blast. I am running it on a standard iPad 10 with an 8bitdo SN30 Pro controller, which to my surprise is fully supported in-app. There’s really no reason to pass this one up if you enjoy scrolling shooters.

Great game, great port

SNK made some fantastic games back in the day, this game blows many modern games out of the park. Dotemu did a great job porting as everything flows nicely, controls are smooth, and there are many options.

ios version 13 makes the game unplayable

when playing the game on ios version 13 on an iphone 7 plus the games buttons cover the whole screen blocking out the ability to move around the screen and actually getting a good look where the enemies are. Please update this to be compatible with the current ios version.

Great port.

Another great SNK game on my iPhone! Keep the classics coming guys. Controls seem a little sluggish on touch but manageable. Much better when using my icade jr. Still a great overall game to have on the go.

Favorite SNK Shooter!!!

Please update to current version of iOS. It's the one game I spend the most time playing!

One of the best shmups ever made, but...

The emulation is not cycle exact, and the level 2 parallax scrolling flickers horribly. It’s distracting and almost unplayable that way. How did this pass QC? Plays better on my Raspberry Pi 3 than on my much more powerful iPhone, ironically.

Not too bad overall...

The characters were a bit off my expectations, but gameplay and style are good.
