Why no WASD movement?
This game seemed like it could have been fun, especially with friends, which is why I bought it because I was testing it out to see if I wanted to also gift it to a friend of mine so that we could play it together.

Well, after finding out that you couldn't actually use your keyboard to move your character = immediate refund. Thank goodness Valve added that feature because this would have been a waste of $20+ better spent elsewhere.

You can say "yOU shOuLD haVE rEaD aBOuT iT fiRSt" but let's be honest. WASD movement is a basic feature of any PC game (exceptions exist such as with League of Legends but this is a Minecraft game, not LoL) so you kind of expect it to be an option if a game is available to the PC market. And it doesn't need to be mentioned again that this is also a Minecraft game. Minecraft being a game which was initially created for the computer. So it seems odd to me that they'd implement such counter-intuitive and awkward controls for a game which was influenced by a PC game.

From a quick internet search, other people have been making the suggestion to have WASD movement so I'm clearly not the only person who was disappointed by the lack of it. The only hope seems to be an outdated mod from 16 months ago that is likely extremely glitchy.

I just don't get how any developers could possibly think that requiring us to plug in a controller could be a good idea when they could simply allow us to use four buttons on our keyboard to move around instead.

I agree, I mean i still played it for long time, but I agree that WASD would make the game a lot better and easier. Its mainly because its a console game, and you are supposed to use control, but even then dont make it PC and make it like runescape.

Its a dungeon crawler inspired by Gauntlet and Diablo which all use mouse movement, two you can also change your bindings to force it to be WASD movement

WASD as an optional setting would definitely be welcome

1. Many Gauntlet games allow WASD with mouse aiming.
2. No, you can't change your bindings to force it to be WASD movement.

Had you even tried the PC version of this game before you wrote that?

wasd prob wouldn't really work. the only annoying thing i have to deal with no wasd is the game randomly making me attack a instead of moving.
