Keyboard and Mouse?

[Marbellous]

I've seen two recent reviewers who said that they have no problem playing with the keyboard. Do you agree?
I'm really tempted into buying this for the nostalgic value, but I don't own a controller - but most of the negativity does come from controller issues.

When it comes to custom config, be careful, some buttons cause certain fuctions (L2/R2-based buttons on changing to Other settings in Option, & changing to other heroes you selected for your team during Hero Details/Character Select, entering to Hero Details quickly) useless after assigning them to other functions. The issues only on Tab (L2), Space (Select button/Hero Details/Jump), Alt, & L-Ctrl (R2) buttons mainly, while the rest are fine.

Whatever you do, do not remove the said buttons I warned. If you want them to be assign in other fuctions, use the safer buttons like Alphabets, Arrows, Numbers & Sign buttons that were already assigned in certain function, As I recall my first try on this latest port. Eg.: W (Jump) assign to Space (Hero Details) switches button where Space is now Jump & while W is now Hero Details

I was playing this with KB&M and had no issues. It's quite nice a game and well worth the bundle price sale. Really, people should stop using a controller on a PC. Get a console for ♥♥♥♥'s sake. Too bad 90% of the bad reviews come from controller users.

Can the KB/mouse keys be rebound?

Works great for me, but I have a logitech gaming keybaord and mouse which likely makes it easier.

Still I don't see any reason why one couldn't use a regular keyboard. The mouse isn't really even needed.

I have absolutely no problems with mouse and keyboard at all. Just go into options and turn off click to move and you're fine.

how about taking the stick out of your ass?

Wait, really, the k+m controls work fine? Nice, I was holding on buying because I've been burned on console ports (a recent one didn't even allow control customization at all), but if it works fine, then I'm sold

confirm if you can rebind them

[Premier666]

Bought it, trying it out. Somehow, I can't rebind the controls, despite it saying that I can?
I put on custom control, and click on binding 01 and 02 and I can't seem to do anything. Bug, or am I missing something obvious?

Disable Steam Cloud & requires to sacrifice/delete your save game. <( that’s all I knew. Just a recommendation from Bacon on disabling Steam cloud, mine recommendation probably sacrificing the save game without any other choices

Didn't work for me. Make sure not to fully delete it and save it off to the side in case it also doesn't work for you. Would suck to lose hours of progress over a 'fix' that doesn't work.

I have the exact same issue. I've tried numerous 'solutions' but they don't work.

Some advice to make this playable on mouse and keyboard:
-Uncheck the option to use the mouse to move. This will replace left mouse button's move command with light attack and right mouse button's use prompt for heavy attack. This makes K&M MUCH easier to play with instead of having to awkwardly fumble with WASD movement while pressing 1-4 on the keyboard.

-Speaking of 1-4... 3 is 'jump' and the alternate key is the space bar. I highly recommend using space bar instead of pressing 3. 4 is also the use key and the alternate key is 'e'. Pressing 'e' is far less awkward than pressing 4.

-The game unfortunately has atrocious QTEs involving bomb defusal. I had forgotten about this crap. When these come up I recommend using 1 hand with a finger on each number key. Far easier than say, pressing space bar for '3' prompts and/or 'e' for '4' prompts.

-Some dummy decided that in the menus Left Control would be used for BOTH assigning powers AND swapping characters. A work around for this is to keep pressing the key so it cycles through all 4 characters and each time it brings up a new character the power selection will stay up.

If anyone knows of a way to edit some sort of .ini file to fix this issue PLEASE let me know which one...

I'm going to eventually pick up a wired 360 controller to play games like this and the Dark Souls series on. All of these are decent to great games but the ineptitude of their handling of mouse and keyboard support is unforgivable. Going to eventually give this game and any Dark Souls title I play that doesn't offer proper M&K support negative reviews. I guess we should feel lucky we get these games at all in these states? Ridiculous.

Well, I bypassed the controls issue by rebinding my extra mouse buttons to be ctr+1-4. But yeah, might be a weird bug but I'd say you can't really rebind the controls at all.

I seen this coming a mile away. It's why I asked for confirmation.

[Premier666]

Yeah, I would avoid this port. It's playable on keyboard, and at least the mouse works on the menus, unlike a few other ports I could name, but that's all it has going for it.
