What real reviews say
★★★★★ Nostalgia This is one of my all-time favorite games and I was skeptical on how good it would be since it’s just on the phone. It’s not the SNES, but it’s been every bit as enjoyable as I remember it being in the 1990s. I’ve beaten the game multiple times, so it’s been a great way to relax and just enjoy what
★★★ No cloud saves Classic game. Plays well with controller but saves do not work between devices so if playing on iPad and then switch to phone the saves will not be there. Only game I’ve seen that does this. Very annoying.
★★★★★ Play this game You get a mobile version of possibly one of the best SNES JRPG games of all time and also it’s the upgraded version that originally was only on DS so the added content is worth it as well
