WASD or click to move?
I wanna know whether this game has click to move controls so I can keep an eye on it or is it WASD only so I can ignore it and forget about it.

WASD controls, sorry that you feel that way. :steamsad:

QUICK BUT REALLY IMPORTANT EDIT:
Considering how controversive this topic was here and on various other platforms we've devided to implement Click to Move (which is now fully operational).
OP, we hope to see you ingame after all.

Usually top down RPGs like Diablo are better played with the mouse for moving, because it's easier to move and face targets. WASD is something that came from lazy console ports to PC. Maybe some people like WASD, but not including a traditional click to move in your game is severely reducing the potential players. Many people played Diablo 1 and 2 back in the day, also games like Baldur's Gate and Titan Quest who love those top down RPGs with loot and levels, but are turned off by WASD controls, because they only make sense if you use a controller or you're playing a 1st or a 3rd person game.

Including click to move is something you should think about. A few days ago I was this close to buying a similar game called Hero Siege, which was on sale, but when I found out it only has WASD controls, I skipped it.

Thanks, good luck with your project.

This is one of the dumbest things I have read, saying that most players use click to move controls, or even that most people prefer click to move controls. lol

While I appreciate the old school ARPGs, I pay homage to them too... I would argue most people want WASD movement. Glad this title has that.

That isn't true at all, and how are you speaking for others when you say most people want, every game i see with this only the boy boi's claim WASD is king its 2020 we have controllers there should always be that option its shame the game is ruined by this, pagon online made this same mistake. Its too bad the dev has a bad attitude about the game. It looked like it was going to be a sweet game too. I just think WASD is dated and lazy in this day and age of having controllers. Good luck with the game your missing out on alot of sales, probably going to see a ton a refunds when people find out its WASD.

Just to be clear, there is full controller support in the game. This thread is about a "click to move" option instead of the WASD controls.

i love W-A-S-D even in a racing game i don't see it as BAD as it can get cause i love to have
W-A-S-D as my keys even in Massive Multiplayer Role Playing Games it was W-A-S-D to move
and it felt good!

Just saying even Fall Guys is W-A-S-D to move and its responsive enough so yeah!
Edit. Even Gunz online was W-A-S-D
Gunz the duel basic tutorial on youtube is W-A-S-D as i remember so yeah Mmorpgs are a thing.

Don't blame me if you don't like W-A-S-D its just your opinion nothing more

Exteel Online was W-A-S-D
The controls uses the WASD for movement with the R key to change between the Two weapon types, left/right mouse buttons to shoot.
Space key for jumping and by double clicking on the key movement buttons will enable hover mode for flying or dodging bullets.

Exteel (F2P Anime Type Shooter)

Most Massive Multiplayer Online Games uses W-A-S-D and on the other hand some Uses The mouse to move like for mobas or tactic games i don't even need to name them cause its obvious its the better choice for moving on Moba Or Tactical games needs the mouse to move instead of W-A-S-D

Mouse only is Star Craft or League of Legend
Edit. Nox (video game) mouse-controlled movement in the year of 2000 That game was made

just saying....

as i said Tactical or Moba Games are with mouse controls to have a more responsive gameplay, other games do not need mouse control cause it will hinder the movement instead of improving it!
Fujioka Tomio Aug 9, 2020 @ 11:06am 
and Nox had shadows and a line of sight to improve how you react and play cause you need to find the way and kill enemies!

Nox and Phantasy Star Online had shadows to improve the difficulty and both games were made in the year 2000! just saying thats something else
Fujioka Tomio Aug 9, 2020 @ 11:10am 
In the year 2000 there was so many good games but 2moons or Dekaron had mouse control to move in the year 2007
Exteel was also made at the year 2007
Just Saying There's So Many Good Games with both W-A-S-D or Mouse Control to compare them and both is good

Just compare them and think which one will be better thats you to decide!
Thanks you very much!
God Speed!

I meant (TheGame the person that said things before you) that i replyed not the Dev i know that the Dev said is true i only meant to reply to the ones who do not know that both settings work and even controller but its only on the Dev to Decide!

Thanks you very much and sorry for the reply on you Dev i didn't mean any harm

maybe thats why you didn't say anything cause i was wrong on the person that i replyed
Still Thanks for your patience!

long story short i'm stupid lol
