Question! Controller vs. Keyboard, PS4/Switch vs. PC

[Evil Larry]

I honestly haven't played Undertale nor Deltarune before. For a beginning player, would it be better for me to start on console or PC? Are keyboard controls easier? The main worry for me is just the heart movement puzzles during boss fights, right?

You might want to post in the Undertale section then, you'll be less likely to see spoilers (though not by much).

I can't imagine console vs. PC would make much difference, but that might be a preference thing for whichever you're more comfortable with.

Controller vs. keyboard is a matter of preference. On this game I liked controller more, but that's based on my preferences. For me, controller is usually the comfy option and keyboard is usually the *precision option (*this really depends on what you're doing with them of course).

I had to switch to a controller for the secret boss in act 1, after that it felt more natural to play act 2 with a controller. Its like playing a music instrument, find the best "instrument" that you can be creative with.

I personally find keyboard to be the most efficient in terms of quick movements and improvisation. but controller is better if you know the patterns already and wanna sit in a specific spots to avoid them better.

generally keyboard is better (hint being the 500 youtubers who play with controller and complain the entire time that they cant dodge because they are playing with controller)

but at the end of the day its preference. but I personally feel the combat is more designed with keyboard in mind not analog stick.

I’ve used both. It kinda depends what you’re most used to.

you may want to use controller on very hard boss fights, everything else is fine on keyboard

weirdly I find the opposite true, controller is good but I recommend keyboard on boss fights.

moving the heart in all directions is easier with a stick than with the keyboard's arrows

it depends on what you're better with but I personally am much better with a keyboard
