Can I use a PS4 controller to play this game?

I have read in the discussions that Xbox contollers work.

I don't really have one though...

Yes, you can definitely play with a PS4 controller. In my experience it looks like the game shows the Xbox controller's button layout, but they're still functionally identical (Triangle, Square, X, Circle instead of Y, X, A, B). I'll leave a note to the devs about that. Hope that all helps!

Thank you for the reply.

When I started up the game, I plugged in the controller and there was no reponse. I tried looking through the settings and set the contols to "gampad". However, this did not work either.

If it is just a bug, I'll just work around it until it's fixed.

Please do, having native Dualshock icons would be nice.

Steam should be able to detect a PS4 controller. Try going to your Steam app settings:

Steam -> Settings -> Controller -> General Controller Settings. This will bring up the Big Picture window and then you can check off "PlayStation Controller Support". I followed these steps with a PS4 controller before I initially replied to you and found that to work. Let me know if that works for you!

Hello again.

Your instructions did the trick. The controller is now fully operational.

Thank you.

I tried that but the game won't detect my ps4 controller if I uncheck the box.
If I check the box the controller works but only with XBOX buttons ingame.

I want to buy the game but only if I can play with PS4 buttons.
What am I doing wrong?

Steam just emulates an xbox controller. I don't think that there's native DS4 support

In games like Kingdome Come Deliverance I have the PS4 buttons ingame.

If the game is also on ps4 then maybe just add option to set type of controller being used, i really wish more devs started doing this, i know only 1 game so far that even detects type of controller and shows control buttons based on what type of controller used/
