Why no keyboard+mouse combo?

[DJlu09]

It might just be me but one of the best features of holocure was the Keyboard+Mouse combo.

Now I understand that aiming/pointing isn't necessary based on how the game works but it is still annoying that I can't map controls however I please and use the mouse for attacking

Not sure why you'd play a beat em up with a mouse tbh

Find it weird I cant select emotes with the mouse. Would also like to attack with it, not saying I need to aim to different lanes but just being able to click to attack and have my character attack left/right where my mouse is would be very nice.

You are able to use the mouse*.

If you've got a good gaming mouse I don't know why you wouldn't want to play a beat em up with keyboard and mouse.

Was about to make a thread basically saying the exact same thing and then noticed this one so I guess I'll just make this classic dumb comment instead:
"THIS"

Also, I don't know what sort of masochistic keyboard user popularized this idea that "Yeah, three(+) buttons in the middle of the keyboard, all of which serve very different purposes, is the PERFECT control scheme to mirror controllers when you're playing fighting/beat'em'up games!"
To be fair, I almost never use controllers either so I might not quite get the brain of an average 'controller user' either, so who knows, maybe this somehow makes sense to those types of people... but it definitely feels absolutely horrendous to me, that's for sure.
Hence why if you make a game compatible with keyboards in the first place, you should absolutely ALWAYS (whenever possible) add an option to map stuff to the mouse too, since that's basically the main 'tool' of any PC player anyway. If using a mouse for most stuff doesn't just naturally feel better to you, then you're clearly either not a "PC main" person, or... you're just weird, dude...

That's not mirorring controllers, that's mirorring acrade
