theres not enough buttons even on a keybored for this game, so how would it be playable on switch?

I've seen a few post on controller support that seem functional so who knows.

i mean, that would be good, but i ment it more like " is that gonna be fun?" there is like what, 20 to 30 buttons on a controller? there is no shifting P vs p or ctrl p and stuff, so there is gonna be huge limits for a console besides pluging a mouse and keybored which the xbox and playstion could do but then at that point jsut but it on pc?

Ho don't get me wrong, I'm fairly sure it would not be fun ^^

I was just saying it may be possible.

Most of the controls are handled by the space bar. It's not like trying to port ADOM or CDDA to a console, where you do literally use the entire keyboard. Other roguelikes with simplified controls, like Tangledeep have done just fine ported over to console.

I guess I did. Not sure what kind of keyboard you have, but mine has more than enough buttons. Its not like you need reflexes for this game.



As for with a controller... how about dpad or left stick to move (probably better with buttons), A for action (like the spacebar), one of the face buttons to fire ranged weaponry, l/ zl/ r/ rl + face buttons for hotkeys, + to go into the menu, - to go into inventory. The UI would be a little clunky, but it already sounds like the controls are more feasible than you want me to believe.

this is a roguelike that uses less of my keyboard than any other I've played (ADOM, SotW, etc.) my most used keys other than my numpad are space and tab, so I see zero issue with this games controller compatibility. what I'm not sure about is trying to play this on such a small screen which is the only reason I would see wanting to port it to the switch would be to play on the go, for this I recommend a laptop instead as IMO it would be very difficult to parse out what you're seeing on such a small screen.

Devs should use 80 or 443 just for the chaos factor.

again, missed the point, it was a *joke* because you need alot of keybinds for better gameplay

Except it was a BAD joke because you really DON'T, especially in the context of other traditional roguelikes.

awww, now I feel like a clown with egg on his face, I'm sorry, I did miss the joke (though I do still insist it wasn't really funny, now that I understand it).
