User Reviews for Gunstar Heroes Classic

Came here to ask,

Great game but I came to ask, which controllers are compatible for the ‘Sega Forever’ collection? I know that for Sonic that 8-bit dos gamepad is fine, but I’m talking console controllers. Which ones are compatible? Also, can I use those controllers for three button ABC SEGA games? Please reply ASAP. Thanks!

Plays Worse Than an Emulator from 2001.

YIKES, Sega.First of all, Gunstar Heroes is one of my all-time favorite games. When I discovered that it was available for my brand new iPad Mini 5? I was ECSTATIC. I bought an 8BitDo controller for a retro experience, downloaded the game and prepared feel like a kid again.Only to have the game run like garbage. Constant stuttering, poor support for my controller, it really just bummed me out. I even paid the $2 to unlock it from ads and I still got ads for other Sega titles.These issues don’t seem to be limited to just this title, either. I downloaded pretty much every Sega Forever title and they all run poorly. I’m very sad. Very disappointed. Asking for a refund on my purchase from Apple.

Multi player not working

A great game single player, just like the original. But multiplayer doesn't work. It says either "invalid room" or if you can get past that part, the screen is just stuck on displaying the black before title screen. Like "sega" doesn't even appear. The whole reason I bought this game was to play multi player with my brother. Very disappointing!

Gunstar Heroes

It’s the 1993 Genesis game, Gunstar Heroes just the way you remember it. Personally, this is one of my favorite Genesis games. The different character and weapon combinations make it so that no player will experience the game in the same way as another player. The game itself is a side scrolling run and gun. The stages are very fun to play through in all their 16-Bit glory and most have several bosses. The gameplay is smooth, the game is emulated very well and includes save slots and a rewind feature. The touchscreen controls worked fine for me, however If you prefer actual buttons, controllers are supported. I recommend this game, even to new players who weren’t born in the Genesis era. After all, it’s free and you’ve got nothing to lose.

Love the game but!

I know this is way off topic but I just love treasure games, and I would really appreciate it if you brought Alien Solider to the store! I’ve always played gunstar superheroes on my gameboy advance and getting the chance to play the classic on my iPhone is just great! But it’s a bummer that alien soldier isn’t up here anywhere.. but hey, at least there is gunstar heroes!

Saving is broken

I have the paid version from having bought the prior release. The game claims to allow local saves, but there is no option anywhere to turn this on. Their Game Center integration is 100% broken and will not cloud save either. Screen controls are poor quality.

The connection to play together

I mean the game is good but me and my sister wanted to play together but we can’t since we are on different Wi-Fi so can you put something like a online thing where you don’t need to be on the same Wi-Fi?

My childhood has returned

I had a Sega Genesis when I was 12 as well as Sonic The Hedgehog. I had this game as well I enjoyed both of them I even had the game gear port of it. 28 years later SEGA has ported all of their rich games to the iPhone and now I get to relive my childhood. despite the ads it is great to relive our childhoods I guess SEGA still does what Nintendon’t

Gunstar Heroes

The 1993 Genesis hit game that is considered to be a Top 5 game on the console and now I can see why that is. Even though I owned a Genesis back in the day I totally missed out playing Gunstar Heroes due to it coming out so late on the system’s life and I had already moved on with the PlayStation console. But now having played this mobile version, and what a great one at that, makes it so that I want to break out my old Genesis system and find the cartridge version of Gunstar Heroes to purchase to play it “old school” or as they say “retro” gaming. Ah nostalgia.

Poor MFi Controller Support

I am using a SteelSeries Nimbus on an iPad Pro 2018 running iOS 12.2 and the controller support is poorly thought out. The B button is used to fire the weapon, but it also activates the “rewind” feature when you hold the “B” button down for more than 3 seconds. The fact that the “rewind” feature is actually set to “R2” in the control settings makes no difference and the “R2” button actually does nothing. As is, this game is unplayable on a controller. Also, you are unable to select the “Menu” button located in the middle of the controller for “pause” and are forced to use one of the other buttons on the controller. “Pause” is set to the “Y” button by default. I’ve noticed the same button issue in other games by Sega. The MFi controller support needs to be overhauled. If Sega can fix these issues this would make playing these games much more enjoyable and I’d likely purchase all of them since they bring back memories. But with the poor MFi controller support I can’t bring myself to actually buy these games for now.
