I want to play this game but keyboard is extremely uncomfortable and its a 2D beat em up with no controller support.

[Xano]

It's like it doesn't want me to play it.

[Neriakied]

yeah im in the same boat as you.. wrists get so uncomfortable even after 30 mins of playing

I couldn't imagine playing with a controller for the 12 keys for skills and 6 on my hotbar for swapping and quick potions to not die. I know some do play with controller however. Plenty of threads talking about it on the dead steam forums here but you might get an actual guide how to do it if you ask on reddit.

Damn i'm currently downloading this game, I was curious if their was controller support

Well, in most cases you can get around it. For example, I am playing DFO using a DS4 (PS4 controller), but that requires additional software to run properly. Pretty much any gamepad/controller should work, as long as you have the right software.

Also, the game does recognize at least some controllers, so you can bind things like jumping/attacking/skills to the various buttons (as seen in the screenshot below).

For anything related to the UI, menus etc; you will pretty much have to use mouse and keyboard, though, which may be an issue for some (having to switch between controller and mouse+keyboard).

i found rebinding attacks to QWE instead of ZXC to make it more comtorble. and when you hit level 50 or so, youll be using 3-4 directional inputs to use new skills. i can understand some discomfort from using the keyboard, but a controller may not have the accuracy of arrow keys. even with the D-pad

I'll give my steam controller a shot next time i play

steam controller will work for basic input (movement, jumping, attacking, manually inputting skills), but in my experience it doesn't work for hotkeys and menus. YMMV though, I cant see anyone playing DFO with a controller and having actual fun.

1. I hate key only games!

2. Right and down do not work from my keyboard in this game (no computer fault, work perfectly well elsewhere), left and up work, right and dwon no action, redefine keys and all four directions work, put them back to arrows and no right or down!! Windows 10 Home.

3. Game will not pick up XBox controller on my system at all.

Very Frustrating!

Only need basic movements on controller though, rest on keys.

STEEP is a reasonable example of how to get a lot of actions on an XBox controller, so can be done.

Me and a bunch of streaming regulars all use a setup with xpadder to play with 360/ps4 pads. But Honestly? Us pad players are in the monority

I've got an xbox one controller setup and it's working great and feels way more fun than kb/m. The face buttons are zxc and space, cardinal directions on the sticks, bumpers, and triggers are hotkey. start, back and stick clicks are items.

Nobody else got this issue then?

nope. you sure it's not a computer issue?

does this game give u full control to remap the key...my movement is suck when i`m using arrow key...i want to use WASD as a movement key instead...like player 1 when u played metal slug~ or KOF//

[SKay]

You can remap the keys but bear in mind the game uses QWERTY and ASDFG for hotkeys so you will need to move those
