Why is there no option to invert horizontal axis for controller?

Would be easy to implement and they've even done an option to invert vertical axis.

This is just how most games are. Games usually have the option to invert the vertical axis, but almost never an option to invert the horizontal one.

The reason for inverting Y-axis is because players are divided in what they like. Just like there are left handed and right handed people, there are "inverted Y-axis" and "normal Y-axis"-people.

This option makes both able to play.

However, I don't think many people play with inverted horizontal axis. It would not make sense for many to invert this.

So the simple answer to your question is: Hardly anyone ever needed to invert the X-axis. So it's not common to add this option into games.


Why do you need it?
If you really want it, you might be able to configure your controller/mouse in a different way. But that all depends on your hardware.

Vertical invert in fps is pretty common option to have. Horizontal invert I have never ever seen lol

Lol? I just started the first game "camera similar" to this in my library - Dark Souls 2 and looked in the options. The very first two are "Invert Y-axis" and "Invert X-axis". I've always had this option when I wanted it.
There is a demand out there. For instance: https://www.reddit.com/r/pcgaming/comments/2k9jys/for_those_give_me_inverted_or_give_me_death_pc/
I want it because Dark Cloud 2 used an "inverted" camera and it was the first game I played of this type. I'm trying Durazno but I haven't got it working yet.

Just got this game for free from Epic Games. I was very interested about it. So many positive opinion about this game. Started it and... can't change X-axis. What?!?! It's almost 2020 and there is only one option to change Y-axis? Whaaat!!!
Uninstall.

Vonotar, same here. I'm Dark Souls player.

BTW. I will never buy this game until implementation of X-axis patch.

just turn your mouse around 180 so buttons are now closer to you ;-)

Did but... how to push the buttons now

Yeah. Loads and loads of games invert both and provide the option for both! Some don't, and that's annoying and silly. I personally need fully inverted camera (X and Y) to be able to play comfortably controlling a camera with a joystick. It's how I learned to play 3D games and it's just what my brain reflex is. Non-inverted camera, or especially a camera with one axis inverted and then other one non-inverted, trips me up nonstop.

p.s. for PC I recommend the 8bitdo controllers. They come with software that allow you to do this inversion at the controller/hardware level, so you can invert and remap sticks and buttons to your heart's content! :)
