Im a mouse and keyboard type guy ...

Yeah, even for games like this. Anyone try m+kb? How is it? Can you look around freely with mouse or is it fixed view? etc. Thanks.

Sorry to say it, but it is quite bad and feels like a bad port. You have to press w in order to move and the character wil follow the cursor. This combined with 3d enviroments where you see the character from the side makes it hard to control the avatar. Put in a sudden pan/tilt of the camera and your character will do a nice turn midair and fall to its death. (I guess 60-70% of my deaths are due to me failing a straight line jump)

edit: the camera is locked into whatever angle the game decides.

Absolutely terrible. I'm also a K&M kind of guy but this game is nearly impossible to play without a controller. It's fixed view, you ONLY use W for movement and direct the character with the mouse, combos and dodges are in weird bindings. You can rebind to your liking though, and make movement entirely through the mouse like isometric games, but the combat doesn't feel like an isometric at all.

Basically, you can try, but it won't be a smooth ride.

We are adding traditional WASD (which you can rebind) support in a future patch for those that prefer it over the current movement scheme for PC controls.

Excelent news SHG_Will.

thanks, can't wait for the patch

Thanks for the replies everyone...

And SHG_Will, when the WASD controls come, I'm definetly going to buy. The game looks great. And when devs are active on the forums like this ... it's certainly a good sign. Thanks.

It's pretty bad but I eventually got used to it. One thing that's particularly bad is that if you start holding W to move while in a cutscene, once the cutscene ends it doesn't register that you're holding it and won't let you move until you release and press it again.

It's horrible, but playable. I beat the game with that.

Was looking for this, thank you! It's a bit annoying when I miss that no death bonus because I fell to my death due to the camera angle and the controlls xD

I guess I have to postpone this game until then, because this kb+m control scheme is beyond atrocious. I failed the tutorial jumping section 5 times in a row because I could not see where I was jumping and I cannot determine my angle when moving the cursor can apparently change it randomly anywhere from 5 degrees to 90.

I tried it with M+KB and it was pretty bad. I kept trying to move with WASD but in this game you hold W and it follows the mouse cursor which feels weird to me. I did read the developers say they are switching to a WASD format and I think when that happens I will definitely come back and beat it. Even with the bad controls I was having fun.

Yes, I will be able to play

I would like to rebind my G700s mouse buttons also.

The kb+mouse controls still sucks.
It is WASD, BUT your attack vector is toward that little mosue cursor, did you saw how tiny that thing is on 1440p or 4k? I dare you to keep track of it in the heat of battle.

I would rather prefer for attacks to be in the same direction as WASD and cursor used only for long range targeted attacks
