I tried the alpha long ago, and I think it was WASD movement only. Still, the controls weren't very fluid, but I'd rather have WASD instead of point & click, specially since it makes it easier to support gamepads.

Ideally, ARPGs should allow both controls if possible, and allow players to choose (like Victor Vran did, adding point & click due to player demand).

I know this is beta "alpha? demo, but controls feels bad. For me "good idea bad execution". WASD just NOPE.

WASD movement yes please. I am tired of trying to move and enemies being everywhere, therefore making it impossible to move. If you can aim and attack while moving, its only fair to have WASD.

Well WASD movement with mouse aim is indeed more flexible and precise then trying to couple both moving and aiming on the mouse pointer.

And yes this game uses the decoupled wasd movement with mouse aiming. Also you do not really click on an enemy to target in this game as all skills are manual aimed from your character out, so no auto attacks or homing attacks. Same goes for the enemies.

I agree. Seems the majority (perhaps the vast majority) of games like this (an arpg with survival mechanics) are click-to-move.

I also recognize the fact that the game was designed around wasd, and thus I agree with those who say it can't be click-to-move. That means I won't be a buyer, despite the fact I like pretty much everything else.

My biggest issues are (all due respect to the wasd lovers) ...

1) You have to hold two keys when moving at an angle. I've tried to get used to this in the few other arpgs that use wasd, and I can't.

2) Skills (other than LMB and RMB) are also keys, thus you have to move off the movement keys to use those other skills.

3) You can't (apparently) rebind the interaction key ("E"). I always change this to middle-mouse button. This is not a huge issue or even a game-breaker by itself. It's more of a pain in this game given you do a lot of gathering.

I wish the devs the best of luck with the game, as I see a commitment to make it a solid game. It's just not for me because of the control scheme.

Odd that there are no developer posts about this.

Well, just in case they peruse the forum occasionally, this game would be an insta-buy if it had the typical click-to-move in almost every similar game.

Nah, tbh I'm glad they're moving on from the mouse clicking thing. This isn't a RTS. Plus we have way more control over the character than just "click on the corner of the screen and then waits the character move to that area".

Have they moved on? I haven’t seen any comment from them.

If they don’t implement it, that’s fine. It’s their game after all.
