Mouse to aim?

[CraziieOne]

Why is mouse to aim not a thing, so with keyboard and mouse, with gunner he only shoots in the direction the character is facing? So when trying to kite a mob, i cant shoot at them while im running away, but other guns can?

Its an auto shooter game like Vampire Survivors

Some weapons only attack in the direction you're facing, some attack backwards in the opposite direction you're facing, some attack the closest enemy, other attack the foe with the most health, some attack in multiple directions at the same time, etc...

In short, the fact that you can only attack in the direction you're facing with that weapon is part of how it is balanced compared to others. If you want to kite effectively you probably want some other weapon to complement it as your second choice and not another big dps weapon.

I dont mind an option for "twinstick mechanics".

«Soulstone Survivors» also auto-shooter, but you can aim if you want. To be honest, I enabled auto-aim there almost immediately, but options are always good.

came here same reason using weapon like warthog that shoots where facing is very difficult with directional movement.

shotgun might actually be viable if you could actually aim with it.

Because it's not a twin-stick shooter , there's ALOT of confusion on this for some reason.

Video I made with a short explanation if you wanna watch.

Nobody wants to watch your 9 dollar game video bro. The gun is ANNOYING to try to utilize. As someone who likes to min/max, it ain't worth the hassle.

And that's fine but just because it doesn't "fit your style" doesn't make it bad.

That's a "you problem" and nothing more.

Second person I tried to help that was just rude.

I'm out not worth it

Manual aim with a cross hair is seriously lacking, especially for the Gunner Class.

So after playing the game a bit, i still think mouse aim should be an option, but not so much so that you can run forward and while facing backwards to shoot, but more of a mouse to control directional walking.

The game seems to have been optimised specificaly for controller controls where the joystick has 360 degrees of control. Where as if you play with keyboard you only have options, up down left right, and diagonals. Especially for this game where you shoot in the direction you aim, (even though the shooting is more at a angle of a cone. )

Being able to face a certain direction with a mouse and not movement keys would be a godsend honestly. Also it would be lovely to have some sort of indication where your character actually looking or "aiming" at the moment. Like some sort of high contrast a laser sight. I don't see any reason why we can't have these basic quality of life things. I don't care if this is Vampire Survivors clone, it can be it's own thing. Weapons like Warthog and minigun are just a pain on a final boss because you are forced to move AWAY from him. So it would be nice to be able to aim at him while walking backward even if at slower pace.

Getting mouse MOVEMENT would be good.
