User Reviews:

Grew up with this series and in love with it even so that I bought all the games on every platform, but my big fingers get in the way so if you can add controller support that would be awesome

Please continue making the rest of the ports in this style it feels a lot more whole and polished compared to the other ports of the first four games

But pls add the multiplayer so we can play with our friends and more credit what I mean that do it like the other metal slugs like 1,2,3,x
