Updated: Blazing Star
Classic Neo-Geo shoot-em-up Blazing Star was recently updated for MFi controller support.
Blazing Star joins other classics of the genre R-Type and R-Type II in supporting the game controllers on iOS.
This particular port is published by the SNK Playmore company and ported by DotEmu. This is the same team behind adding controller support to other iOS ports of classic games. Several of the games these companies have released together still have yet to receive game controller support, however. iOS versions of the all-time classic Metal Slug series have yet to see updates. With any luck, these games will be updated to support game controllers soon.
Much like last weekâs R-Type game releases, Blazing Star is a classic side-scrolling airplane shooter. The port is handled excellently, with smooth framerates and great iOS integration. Fans of the genre will find a lot to love here. For those whoâve never been exposed to this sort of shoot-em-up, Blazing Star is a great game to start with, and a strong recommendation.
