Can you use a controller?

is it possible to use a controller to play this? like back on the playstation?

This is not Worms 2 Armageddon, it is another game. it doesn't have controller support but you can use joy2key. the best way to play this game is mouse and keyboard.

Everything NeonDrare says is spot on. You can use a controller with 3rd party software but it's not recommended. This game has too many controls and hotkeys, such as f1-f12 for weapons, that you won't have quick access to with a controller. See http://worms2d.info/controls

One other point: this game is far better than the one you remember (w2a) from playstation. Best in the series by far if you're okay with a more retro look and feel. The "2" in w2a is another casualty of Team17's misleading title gore.

good luck playing hysteria on a controller

Do you people realize that Worms Armageddon was released on PS1? Clearly that is what OP is referring to. OP is probably also not planning on playing Hysteria, just regular old Worms.

Steam has built-in controller support for any game or program that you run through it. Launch Steam in Big Picture mode (the icon at the top right of the Steam window), then launch Worms Armageddon. Steam will automatically pick a controller configuration for you, unless you have controller support disabled in the options. You can press the Home button of your controller at any point to bring up the Big Picture menu, where you can remap keyboard keys to your controller as you please.

I personally use ControllerCompanion to remap the d'pad and face buttons to F-keys when L1 and R2 are held down. You don't have to miss out on hotkeys with a controller. And yes, I prefer keyboard, but I don't have one if I want to play on the go.

Are you okay there? Do I need to call you a doctor, or are you always like this?

WA was on PlayStation and also Nintendo 64 and I think even Dreamcast.

You can use a controller but certain game schemes would be almost impossible as you really need the mouse and shortcut keys on a keyboard.

u were spot on mate, that's why i was asking, and what i was asking for lol, thx for the info, all things considered though it seems like a bit of a pain, not sure if i'll just get used to the key bindings etc, only way to work it out is to give it a whirl both ways i suppose eh.

As far as I'm concerned, controller makes sense if you want to play it with friends on a couch like you presumably did back with the PS1. If you want to play at a desk instead, mouse and keyboard is indubitably the better option. Or as in my case – like I said – I made a controller setup to play it on the go on my GPD Win.

The Old Worms Armaggedon from playstation one that you remember can be Worms Reloaded witch is also avaliable to buy here, that have parcial controller supported.check it out. but this game is better and more popular. https://store.steampowered.com/app/22600/Worms_Reloaded/

[Obn3g0n]

Don't buy Worms Reloaded, that's just terrible advice. Especially for $22.

Worms Armageddon is the best game in the series. Just learn to use the keyboard and mouse.

I personally found Worms Reloaded to be a great game and the better than Armegeddon. Nobody is saying buy it for $22, you can always find the game of the year version a lot cheaper throughout the year.
