How are the keyboard and mouse controls?

[FroBodine]

I'm willing to use a controller to play, but I always prefer keyboard and mouse. Are they decent in this game, and can you rebind controls?

[Riftweaver]

from what i've heard, no, they are not decent, nor can you rebind (nothing my friend has been able to find, anyways). i think the camera controls are locked to IJKL , menu button is R, cancel button is backspace, confirm is enter. no mouse controls at all. it seems very strange.

very much intended for controllers

[FroBodine]

Wow, those are the worst keyboard controls I've ever heard of. Why can't developers who make PC games put in proper keyboard/mouse controls and add key/mouse rebinding. It just baffles me to no end.

this is even said on the store frontpage the devs recommend it to play with a controller go buy one

recommended should not mean 'basicly required' there are plenty of console style rpgs on steam that have good keyboard controls. and very very few of them that actually DONT allow you to rebind keys.

if they at least let you rebind, then the problems wouldnt matter as much.

I own many controllers. That is not the point. Many, many games say controller recommended, but they actually play perfectly fine with keyboard and mouse. I'm playing a few games right now that specifically tell you when the game launches that you should use a controller. But, keyboard and mouse and perfectly fine and comfortable.

The game needs good keyboard and mouse controls, and the ability to rebind controls. This is how games are made nowadays.

I also use punctuation and grammar. Go use them.

I can bind my controller with steam controller function to swap A and B....but keyboard not ok, asdw only for movement.

i no what a nightmare i didn't use any ponctuation if you wish to be a grammar n&z* be my guest

[Nucifera]

even STAR OCEAN THE SECOND STORY R can be played with keyboard and mouse, although not recommended but possible..

well, it's a shame

[FroBodine]

Yep, I am a perpetual grammar nazi. It's in my blood. Not the nazi part, but the grammar part.

The keyboard and mouse controls are trash tier. The person who designed them has clearly never played a game with K&M and had no idea what they were doing. It's not unplayable, just awkward as hell. There's really no reason for it either, it wouldn't take a lot of effort to create a custom control scheme that would make this game effortless to play on PC.

Then again, if this is the worst thing I have to complain about, my life is pretty good.

It's basically a retro console emulated. No mouse support, non rebindable keys. I thought Triangle Strategy's M&K's support is trash, but seeing this just stupefies me completely.

Eh, I've played eroge rpgmaker games entirely on the keyboard. It can't be worse than that, right? Right, Anakin???

Good point, console emulation probably do as well.

What's annoying is, most probably, such port has most chance to become the standard for the game, and the junk port makes it a bad standard for all time or during a long time.

good stuff
a bit of a warning to me, thanks
I was about to buy the game, and this read about bad kbm keys made me rethink
hope to see a keybind and it's an instant buy for me

This version of the game was made for a PC, not console. They should have fully functioning keyboard and mouse control, using keyboard keys that most of the gaming industry is comfortable with. Hard to believe they made this game so awkward to play. And now they want to add a dlc instead of fixing the issue with controls.
