Mouse/Keyboard vs. Controller: What's the Best Way to Play?

[Jerome Castle]

I just purchased this title and want to know the best way to approach it.

Game suggests Controller and that's how I've played. I haven't tried the keyboard controls but most of the real time elements in battles are single button presses I can't imagine it'd be super awkward to play on keyboard if you'd prefer.

Thank you for sharing your input and experience!

Whatever you are most comfortable using for this type of game should be fine. While the game suggests controller, people who prefer KB+M have completed the game like that without problem.

Have a controller, played Elden Ring on, but trying the KB&M and it's decent. Might want to remap a couple eventually but decent by default and I don't feel the controller (other than sitting back) would have much of an advantage, if any. I also like the WASD and instant camera mouse movement over a smoothed controller joystick.

usually go with controller if it suggests it, however i've been using mnk and been just fine. plus there is a debuff called dizzy and its easier to free aim (for me) using mnk
