Hi, I see from your Apple Appstore listing that The Barbarian supports mobile gamepads. The Barbarian Appstore LinkCan you be more specific.? Does the game support official Apple MFi Controllers? Current controllers available are:- -MOGA Ace Power -MOGA Rebel -MADCATZ C.T.R.L.i -MADCATZ C.T.R.L.i mini -HORI HORIPAD Wireless -STEELSERIES Stratus -STEELSERIES Stratus XL Also does the game have FULL controller support?, this means not only the in-game character control but all menus/submenus can be accessed with the game controller Thnx, Admin: mfi4.gamerz.co

Hey there! We've tested it with the SteelSeries Stratus and the Moga Ace Power. We're using a 3rd party controller add-on for support, and support includes all Apple MFi controllers. Although we haven't tested every one, there should be no reason any of them won't work. Each button does something, and all menus can be navigated with the buttons as well, including the bumper and trigger buttons. In my personal opinion, although the game plays great with touch, I love being able to see the full screen, and using a gamepad is wonderful. Of course I'm biased! Edit: We have not tested controllers that aren't dual-stick. I think some of the Apple MFi aren't dual-stick. They'll work, but we don't know how they work differently than the dual-stick ones.

Thanx for your quick response, downloading now I will do a review when i get chance & promote your game to the MFi Controller Communities. I too agree with you these kinda games play much better with Physical Controllers i'm biased also i grew up on atari/nintendo/sega . The Standard MFi controllers (ones without the Sticks n' Triggers), (well there's only 1 & that is now discontinued.. it's called the Logitech Powershell) If you can control the character movement with the D-Pad & don't assign anything to the L2,R2 Triggers, then the Standard MFi controller will work fine. I wouldn't worry too much about these though as i believe Apple will drop the idea or come up with an incentive for hardware manufacturers to make them, as they cost the same as making the ones with sticks that have the same features!, plus they are less useful for today's gaming genres.

Yeah, the SNES was (probably still is) my favorite console -- started of course on the NES I actually made The Barbarian with the SNES in mind. I like the older school gameplay, a lot of the new games, esp. mobile games, look amazing but the game play to me is quite boring. So rather than trying to focus on making some sort of new experience, I decided to make an experience that hopefully feels classic. And with that gamepads were a requirement for me from the start
