playable with controller?

[✪ Captain Slow]

sooo how you guys know, steamdeck is coming soon

does anyone here have any experience, playin that game with just a controller, without mouse/keyboard?
do you think it will be playable on the steamdeck, in terms of peripherals?

C:S isn't designed for a controller and I have no experience using a controller for C:S.

How can you play a city builder with a small controller?

Xbox and Playstation owners manage quite well

thats exactly my question.
i dont know, but maybe others do?

the steam deck has that touchy pad for mouse immitation, maybe that could work?

My son got this game on his xbox x with gamepass I think. That version is way watered down from what im used to playing modded on PC. He needed some help and when I tried using his controller it was absolutely terrible. Just trying to click on nodes was a royal pain. Not fun at all.

Yes, I have a Steam Controller and a PS5 DualSense and both work great. You can do quite a lot if you know how to configure the controllers with Steam Input.

I'm hoping I'll be selected as a beta tester for the Steam Deck. If so, I can have a configuration ready day 1. But if I'm not selected, I'll upload a configuration after I get the Deck (Q1 2022).

Short answer: yes
Is it worth it: no
I played on Switch with the pro controller and it was so difficult so I found it on PC and love it.

To get a feel for what it would be like on the Steam Deck, I played on a 1280x800 tablet using Steam Link.

I don't foresee any problems with the controls. I think they'll work quite well. The issue I had though was with the screen. The tablet had an 8 inch screen which is bigger than the Steam Deck, but small text was still difficult to read. Unless there is an update that gives us the option to increase the size of the UI and text, I think it will be a problem.

Hi - Do you have any advice on how to get an Xbox One controller working with the game? Would be a godsend.

Don't mean to necro, but thought I'd mention something called Xpadder. allovvs you to bind keys and even mouse functions to a controller connected to your pc. Hovvever, it still vvont be the same as on console because some of the functions (i.e. navigating the menus vvith the left stick) vvont vvork the same vvay.

to all the people saying controller is horrible, I 100% disagree. I find this games controls annoying on kbm compared to controller. Much simpler and easier, and controller support is something they should actively add on here.

the game is horribly optimizable with Controller on the pc version, however, it is playable on the Steamdeck but Gamepad support isn't perfect, make sure to read the Gamepage, to know its fully supported or not

It says partial controller support, it's like arma where it's technically playable but not to it's fullest extent
