I can see why this game has a 69 on metacritic

The controls are just so awful. I haven't felt like I was fighting the controls this bad in a game since Kid Icarus Uprising. I'm trying on M&K and Controller and I hate both for different reasons.

The only reason i can see the controls being awkward is because moving "Up" doesnt actually move up, it moves you north east because of the wierd ass diagonal camera they decided to go with, if moving up actually meant moving UP and not Up and Right then i feel it would be less wierd.

indeed

also the controls sucks in general

the controls should follow the mouse really, it's just extremely awkward to play the game the way it is currently

The game is fun, but I also agree that the movement should follow the mouse. I'm playing with a controller but it is just as weird to play on that as well. They should add an option to have all movement on the left stick and have the movement follow whichh way the mouse is pointing, gameplay would be much more fluid imo.

yup

I feel the biggest issue it has is with the planned dashing

I've had so much shots wasted thinking I was making a dash but turns out I was firing.

IGN gave it a 6 because it's too hard

[franxuz]

it's 78 on metacritic though with only 2 'yellow' reviews though

It feels like you're fighting against the controls of the game instead of the enemies. Terrible.

I think you're all whining because its too hard. Pressing up does not go northeast, it goes up. Ignore the ground angle. You press up, your character goes directly up on your screen. These controls are no harder than hotline miami. Jesus christ. "Wheres the win button?" Play on easy mode.

I used a controller for a good hour and i can say with honesty that it fixed MOST of my gripes with the control issues on KB&M, the only issue with controller is that aiming with ranged weapons is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, everything else is alright once you do a little adjusting.

Also akin to Mr.Glass's comment, if you're using a controller then yes, you go STRAIGHT UP, if you use a keyboard, holding Up makes you go Up and to the Right akin to the camera angle, in hotline miami, moving up meant you moved actually up, not up with a slight angle, as for difficulty, i personally think its a great middle ground even on hard.

You're obviously playing with a gamepad.

With M&KB, W goes northeast and S goes southwest. It's clunky and unintuitive as hell.

[Regime]

Have to say I'm finding the opposite.

KB/M works beautifully.

[Buff Butler (no monitor)]

A sub-70 score seems about right for this game. It's not truly putrid, but it's just not any good based on what I played of it.

Suggestion for the developers and what they could do next time: Make the guns more impactful, make the gore more visceral, let the civilians get domed in the crossfire, get rid of the "enemies filter into this arena section in waves" nonsense, and stop splashing the same repetitive graphic on my screen to remind me of the objective every 5 seconds.

Basically, the gameplay isn't good enough to justify the really weak presentation, and the really weak presentation can't mask the boring gameplay.

I've had zero problems with controls whatsoever, have you people never played a twin stick style game with KB/M before?
