Frustrated

Recent user voice shows a frustrated sentiment. Users appreciate nostalgic gameplay loop provides an immersive experience for long-term fans of the series and portrait mode orientation allows for convenient one-handed play during short sessions, but report missing voice acting and orchestral music significantly degrade the original charm of the game and lack of controller support forces reliance on clunky and unresponsive touch controls.
