I heard there is no option to change control keys, is it true?

WTB this game, but what about controls

[shadowflash]

Friend bought the game and yeah, no keyboard remap option and default layouts are for crustacean aliens. So to play with your friend you need two gamepads and even in that case get ready to use xpadder etc, that's how we played with me using arcade stick.

I don't know what's wrong with developers using hardcoded inputs. Input remapping is the easiest thing to do from technical point of view when it comes to game development. Just use something like SDL2 and it will work on every system you port your game to.
Or when they allow you to remap everything but direction keys... in fighting games...

Thanks, really this inputs are for aliens

Who thinks a game without remapping tools is ready to ship?

I don't even think I found all the keys you can use.

y = hard attack (which btw is beneath a and s on my keyboard)
i = blocking
u = back
g = low attack
space = ok but only on the very first screen

I will wait 2 days for the remap tool or else I will refund.

its designed for two player on one keyboard.

you can't change the layout for now.

[export]

then they should know that there are different kind of keyboards.
So it is designed for one specific keyboard layout. And they don't tell you that on their info box.

uhm, if your keyboard is AZERTY you should burn in hell.

jokes aside, this is fine for qwerty keyboard but compact keyboard will make it hell. especially if you have fat hand or long fingers or lack the reflex/flexibility of a DDR Keyboard master. gamepad is supported and highly reccommended.

nice, gamepad is highly recommended on a PC game, i said PC game. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ dishrags developers, i got my hopes up for nothing. i dont have a controller and not interested in getting one bucz pc games are meant to be played with a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ KEYBOARD controller should just be an aditional thing AND NOT ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ RECOMMENDED OVER A KEYBOARD.

[Prinny]

this is the pc version of a console game.... the game is out on at least 3 console and then PC. why would they make it pc exclusive?

This might be crazy to you, but different controllers are better for certain types of games.

FPS? Mouse and keyboard.
Flight Sim? Joystick.
Arcade brawler? Controller.

PC gamers complaining about games working better with controllers or complaining when a dev says that a controller is recommended is SILLY.

You can be a PC gamer and enjoy all types of control systems. You don't have to ALWAYS use a keyboard and mouse because you are on PC.

You can get an Xbox controller for $20 bucks or even cheaper used at the store. You can then plug it in to your Windows PC and it just works. I've been using mine 7 years now across multiple PCs.

If you are a gamer, there is no reason not to invest in a controller for PC games. Even the Commodore-freaking-64 computer released in 1982 expected you to occasionally plug in a joystick to make playing a game better.

You don't need controller for beat 'em ups or even platformers though if there is an ability to remap keyboard keys. You can easily simulate controller layout on keyboard which is what many people usually do. For example, I use "wasd" for movement and "ghj" for the rest which is pretty much a Mega Drive controller layout (or even arcade-like).

There are legit flaws with keyboards, for example if you want to play on coach I guess or when sticky keys can cause problems in some games (which is fixable with mechanical keyboards), but otherwise it's on par with controllers.

It's a shame that developers didn't bother with providing control settings for keyboards (and I assume for controllers just as well), such low effort job is the reason why many people started to dislike keyboards nowadays which is absolutely wrong because developers are the only people to blame.

That said:

This is not as bad as I thought, this is playable layout for me, including P2 control. Though I still would change that a bit, especially block button.

[Tilestra]

I just tested the game, my friend bought it. Weird thing is - he have gamepad, but it not works in this game. What gamepad is needed?

[Prinny]

any microsoft controller,
many report PS4 controller works.
Xbox seems to work.
Logitech f3150 works fine (The one I use)

basically anything with directinput and / or x-input should work

[Ronin Gamer]

I mean, honestly this is a game that works better with a pad. Some games are just games you use a pad with, so having one ready is always a good idea. Just because we game on PC doesn't mean we only use keyboard and mouse for absolutely everything.

[Majere]

I'm playing on an arcade stick and not being able to remap the controls is messing with my head. The attack buttons are where P and K are in my DOA config but jump is where my reflexes expect block to be. Give us a remap, for pity's sake!

[Goonie]

People say it works better with a pad but that doesn't excuse bad controller layouts for PC to the point where I can't navigate menus. At the least let me change my controller layouts. I'm going to return the game for now until this is addressed.
