But all of a sudden the controls changed and took up most of the screen, literally making it impossible to play. If you have an iPhone this game won’t play !! -- TheMrMaps, 2021-08-25 ### *---- "Buttons" The buttons can’t be rearranged I wasted my money on this apple store must always review apps before giving them for people to use them especially if we gonna use our money. -- Kamva Casa, 2021-07-26 ### ***-- "The control buttons block me from playing" I had this game on my iPad and I loved it so I wanted it on my phone and I have an iPhone 11 but when I tried to play,the controls were in the middle of the screen and I couldn’t do anything so I tried to move them in the settings but they did allow me to move the buttons... So please may this issue be addressed soon. -- Ycl O'Donnell's Kosovar, 2020-09-06 ### **--- "Control setting buttons are all over the screen" I just bought KOF 97 today hoping it will work on my iPhone 8 Plus everything went well until I tried playing the game the buttons are on the screen I can’t do anything I tried to arrange the buttons propped but I can’t move anything so I went to google read something that said I must not download it the buttons will give you problems you must download the package what what I did so but still I’m facing the same problem can this be fixed or not if so can I get my money back 😫😫 -- Siphelo Ray, 2020-08-25 ### ***-- "Update" When will it be compatible to the new ios -- Bug15774g, 2017-11-21 ### ***-- "Difficult Levels have no change" I am a big fan of the KOF series. But I am not really happy as all the difficult levels feels the same and the controllers are not really good as well. Fair enough I still love the series just bring more of games of the series. -- Ashinem, 2017-06-15 [View all THE KING OF FIGHTERS '97 reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://apptail.io/account/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## THE KING OF FIGHTERS '97 Store Rankings | Chart | Country | Category | Rank | |-------|---------|----------|------| | Top Paid | South Africa | Games | #24 | | Top Paid | United Arab Emirates | Games | #35 | | Top Paid | Algeria | Games | #46 | | Top Paid | Pakistan | Games | #50 | | Top Paid | Saudi Arabia | Games | #73 | | Top Paid | Brazil | Games | #78 | | Top Paid | Ecuador | Games | #118 | | Top Paid | Mexico | Games | #120 | | Top Paid | Peru | Games | #147 | | Top Paid | Argentina | Games | #148 | | Top Paid | Indonesia | Games | #175 | | Top Paid | Türkiye | Games | #203 | | Top Paid | Colombia | Games | #220 | | Top Paid | Egypt | Games | #222 | | Top Paid | Hong Kong SAR China | Games | #237 | | Top Paid | Chile | Games | #240 | ## THE KING OF FIGHTERS '97 Discovered Keywords - the king of fighters '97 ## THE KING OF FIGHTERS '97 Available In - [Mexico](https://apptail.io/app/the-king-of-fighters-97-Mgbe/mexico) - [United States](https://apptail.io/app/the-king-of-fighters-97-Mgbe/united-states) - [Japan](https://apptail.io/app/the-king-of-fighters-97-Mgbe/japan) - [South Korea](https://apptail.io/app/the-king-of-fighters-97-Mgbe/south-korea) - [Taiwan](https://apptail.io/app/the-king-of-fighters-97-Mgbe/taiwan) - [France](https://apptail.io/app/the-king-of-fighters-97-Mgbe/france) - [Chile](https://apptail.io/app/the-king-of-fighters-97-Mgbe/chile) - [Hong Kong SAR China](https://apptail.io/app/the-king-of-fighters-97-Mgbe/hong-kong) - [Australia](https://apptail.io/app/the-king-of-fighters-97-Mgbe/australia) - [Italy](https://apptail.io/app/the-king-of-fighters-97-Mgbe/italy) - [Canada](https://apptail.io/app/the-king-of-fighters-97-Mgbe/canada) - [Colombia](https://apptail.io/app/the-king-of-fighters-97-Mgbe/colombia) - [Spain](https://apptail.io/app/the-king-of-fighters-97-Mgbe/spain) - [United Kingdom](https://apptail.io/app/the-king-of-fighters-97-Mgbe/united-kingdom) - [Argentina](https://apptail.io/app/the-king-of-fighters-97-Mgbe/argentina) - [Peru](https://apptail.io/app/the-king-of-fighters-97-Mgbe/peru) - [Ecuador](https://apptail.io/app/the-king-of-fighters-97-Mgbe/ecuador) - [Vietnam](https://apptail.io/app/the-king-of-fighters-97-Mgbe/vietnam) - [Singapore](https://apptail.io/app/the-king-of-fighters-97-Mgbe/singapore) - [United Arab Emirates](https://apptail.io/app/the-king-of-fighters-97-Mgbe/united-arab-emirates) - [South Africa](https://apptail.io/app/the-king-of-fighters-97-Mgbe/south-africa) - [India](https://apptail.io/app/the-king-of-fighters-97-Mgbe/india) - [Pakistan](https://apptail.io/app/the-king-of-fighters-97-Mgbe/pakistan) - [Germany](https://apptail.io/app/the-king-of-fighters-97-Mgbe/germany) - [Belgium](https://apptail.io/app/the-king-of-fighters-97-Mgbe/belgium) - [Switzerland](https://apptail.io/app/the-king-of-fighters-97-Mgbe/switzerland) - [Romania](https://apptail.io/app/the-king-of-fighters-97-Mgbe/romania) - [Estonia](https://apptail.io/app/the-king-of-fighters-97-Mgbe/estonia) - [Algeria](https://apptail.io/app/the-king-of-fighters-97-Mgbe/algeria) - [Denmark](https://apptail.io/app/the-king-of-fighters-97-Mgbe/denmark) - [Greece](https://apptail.io/app/the-king-of-fighters-97-Mgbe/greece) - [Lebanon](https://apptail.io/app/the-king-of-fighters-97-Mgbe/lebanon) - [Kuwait](https://apptail.io/app/the-king-of-fighters-97-Mgbe/kuwait) - [Malta](https://apptail.io/app/the-king-of-fighters-97-Mgbe/malta) - [Finland](https://apptail.io/app/the-king-of-fighters-97-Mgbe/finland) - [Iceland](https://apptail.io/app/the-king-of-fighters-97-Mgbe/iceland) - [Azerbaijan](https://apptail.io/app/the-king-of-fighters-97-Mgbe/azerbaijan) - [Ireland](https://apptail.io/app/the-king-of-fighters-97-Mgbe/ireland) - [Kazakhstan](https://apptail.io/app/the-king-of-fighters-97-Mgbe/kazakhstan) - [Lithuania](https://apptail.io/app/the-king-of-fighters-97-Mgbe/lithuania) - [Czechia](https://apptail.io/app/the-king-of-fighters-97-Mgbe/czechia) - [Cyprus](https://apptail.io/app/the-king-of-fighters-97-Mgbe/cyprus) - [Belarus](https://apptail.io/app/the-king-of-fighters-97-Mgbe/belarus) - [Brunei](https://apptail.io/app/the-king-of-fighters-97-Mgbe/brunei) --- ## About AppTail [AppTail](https://apptail.io) is a mobile app intelligence platform providing app analytics, ASO (App Store Optimization) tools, keyword tracking, competitor analysis, revenue estimates, and review monitoring for iOS App Store apps.
