How ae the mouse keyboard controls for thsi title?
I noticied in the description that this was for Xbox Live Arcade and I generally liek those games but my Xbox is away and I don't have a conroller right now. How are the PC default controls or are there any?

This game is playable with K&M and it offer fine controls

There are some threads already on this and most seem to point you to use a controller.

Myself.... its pretty bad in combat... you cant even aim correctly at the zombie infront of you... the hit mechanism seems to default to a specific direction depending on where your character is on the map. Thus easily missing the zombie or target you want to hit.

If the devs dont fix this soon so that you can swing the way your character is facing (depending ont he WASD) youre gonna see a lot of other PC gamers complaining.

I may decide to use a controller but for now Im shelving the game. If this isnt fixed and soon then I wont be buying anymore games from these guys.

Rule 1 for console ports = make sure the controls work for kb/m... and definitely not some half-arsed attempt.

Character runs northwest direction without any keyboard or mouse input. Many people are having same issue. I select keyboard and mouse controls but it goes back to gamepad.

Won't even let me select keyboard and mouse. It keeps reverting back to a pad, which I don't have.

The controls are pretty decent, contrary to what Two Clicks said the PC controls work pretty well. You hold right click to aim the direction of your character towards the mouse cursor, and at other times he's facing the direction you point at with wasd. Not particularly complex or difficult

Oh boy. Seems like somewhat of a crapshoot. Damn and this game looks super sweet too.

I start playing with Keyboard, then test the Gamepad. But Keyboard feels very good for me so i don´t use Gamepad actually...

AGREED! I've bought two copies in hope that i would be able to play with my wife story-mode (online or on two separate PCs) with mouse and keyboard.

Note that I'm not angry at all - coop mode was my mistake and seeing you guys addressing the issue, I'll just wait a bit, financing you in advance :) Really not a problem waiting for a month, if it's going to be fixed.

But I would like to have PC-like controls (no WASD in this type of games is type, rather mouse-driven movement). Two cursors issue is also annoying.

But I really like the game otherwise, and am willing to purchase DLCs/expansions etc in the future - if the game is playable.

But when issues are ironed out, I predict lots of happy PC users, especially if game continues getting upgrades (more islands, more characters/skills/objects)

It's a really cool game, but suffering from child-diseases when porting is in question

I'm playing the game with kb&m and the controls are pretty similar to the ones in bastion. The only problem I had was that my gamepad was plugged and the game kept selecting it as the main control for the game, even though I was selecting kb&m. :)

Well, am I one of the few that can´t get used to the game pad controls ? I don´t know ... kb&m just comes "more directly" while Im have quite some problems hitting anything via my 360 pad

Mouse and keyboard ok to use. Seems its more based for a controller to use but I can't select that under options menu Have to wait for a patch I guess.
