Hmm. It's cheap, why not. Touch controls though...
Wonder if this means that second Anniversary Collection is soon!

iOS page says it's fully compatible with controllers.
Im super interested in this now.
might grab it since it is super cheap and supports controllers... I'll finally use my new 8bitdo with my phone
I wish FF Tactics was that cheap and had controller support, would buy it in a heartbeat

$3 for a good port with full controller support would be quite the deal. Might wait on some impressions.
Comments to Wario's tweet are saying it's the PSP/PS4 version. Not sure if that was mentioned yet.
Saw a screenshot posted on Touch Arcade and it shows the psp localization.
Not supporting Konami because they treat their former employees like crap, blackballing them [the former employees] from jobs or health insurance
Bought and playing it now. Can confirm controller support and it's the PSP port. Seems to control as you would expect.
But given I have this on PS1, PSP, 360, and I ripped both of my copies for emulators, I'm not sure I'm going to keep yet another version of this game, lol.

I just refunded the game, now I want to buy it again and test this out.
Might be easier than one would think, lol.
edit: I should mention that I had initial issues with Richter's down/up jump uppercut; it wasn't registering until I got into the Dracula fight. Don't know if it was something with my controller or the game itself; but Dracula was as far as I got before I refunded it.
I can confirm it's on Spanish. Even it's page is translated:
Downloading now. I will report with impressions later.
That's fantastic! A shame it is the new localisation and dub, but it's nice that this is easier to play than ever.
Does the game offer any sort of suspend save or auto-save? Relying on save rooms is impractical on a mobile device.
I'm glad that controller support is so much more practical on iOS these days. My 8bitdo controller always travels with my ipad.

As we've said multiple times, it has controller support on both operating systems.
That is a very good question. That could quickly become painful if it looses the suspend state and doesn't save. iCloud sync between devices would be nice as well.
2.99 feels like a price I can jump in blind at... I always have my phone and iPad with me, not harm in packing in my spare Xbox controller too.
Yeah, but it is kind of a bad experience for me to have a phone on table and controller in hands. Handhelds are so much more enjoyable, like Gameboy, PSP, Switch..I hope SotN comes to Switch soon, in 2nd Anniversary collection. I want SoTN and Rondo of blood there, while all other GBA and DS games would be amazing, too, but I will keep my hopes low.
are you on android 10? android 10 solved alot of bluetooth controller issues
You don't have to have your phone on a table when things like these exist in multiple forms and controller styles.
Even if this port should end up on everything --it probably will-- no one is forced to plop their screen against a water bottle to play.
The hell, was this revealed before lol? Probably would dive in for another round at this game on the go.
Store page mentions a new continue feature. Not sure what that means yet.
I'm back and after some time with the game I think I'll keep it.
The video compression is awful (even more than the original or the PSP version) with lots of artifacts
Sprites look clean and for the time being I can't spot missing effects, but I'm not an expert on that matter so I don't see much trouble with that other than the UI which gets in the way, and my fat thumbs keep covering areas of the screen causing some enemies to get cheap shots at me due that I can't see them and react on time. It's hard to control the game with touch controls, I don't have a controller with me so I bet it plays much better with them.
The UI is more akin to a mobile game but I'm not quite fond of the stats screen, maybe I'm more used to the classic one.
Regarding the Spanish translation, I'm 5 minutes into the game and we have already SpanglishI have yet to find another at the time I'm writing this (just got to the first save point so far)
Load times are nonexistent on the game (or I am yet to find one) but I experience some audio skip from time to time, and the music seems more muted than the PSP version, like its less quality, even with headphones the music sounds kinda low-fi.
Other problem I face is that I keen making the bottom iOS menu to pop up when trying to reach the attack button due to its position causen the game to sometimes pause unexpectedly. Other than that I have no other complaints.
The continue function seems neat. I quit the game via in game menu on the room were Death's makes its first appearance and after selected "Continue" on the main menu, I started just in the same room with Dead just giving his speech. Haven't tested it further tho.
EDIT: If you close the game via OS it saves your last visited room if you choose to continue, kinda like a save state.
One thing I found funny is that the game just tells you upon a New game to input Maria Or Richter to play as them right away.
Those are my quick impressions on the game. Tested it on a iPhone SE.
