Anyone tried playing this game with a 4-arrow dance pad? How is it?

Hey everyone. I'm thinking about picking up this game, but I have some concerns about how it plays with dancepad. Does it actually enhance the game in any way?

For example, dance pad was offered as a control scheme for Crypt of the Necrodancer, but I found it just plain annoying to use a pad to play that game since it's only a rythm game in the sense of you pressing a direction every beat. Basically using a dancepad with the game felt like playing any other action-based videogame, but just using a dancepad to control movement, which I feel actually hindered the game.

Also it's worth noting that I have a 4-direction pad. Thanks in advance for any opinions.

Hi Jozz,

This game is actually hand-choreographed by the dev team, and built specifically for a dance pad. No generated tracks or etc. All built-to-purpose. Which means no getting twisted up, nothing impossible, and nothing random.
I find playing on a dance pad, personally, extremely comfortable.

If you're using a 4-arrow pad, you Will need an additional way to change your lanes left and right. You can do this by holding a controller or (if your pad supports/has it), mapping the Start/Select buttons too.

Cheers!
