is this playable on mouse and keyboard?

[crushedbug]

the dev's other game, titan souls, was good but it was a piece of ♥♥♥♥ on keyboard and mouse, is it the same here?

My only problem with the game on KB+M is rolling attacks. Most attacks are aimed at your cursor but rolling attacks resolve in whatever direction you rolled, which limits you with them a bit.

Other than that, it's totally reasonable, and ranged combat and some platforming are a bit smoother on KB+M to boot.

KB+M is the dumbest way to play most PC games.

Well, I aquired all achievements in the game playing on mouse and keyboard only... Didn't compromise my gameplay

Late but here's my take: The map is arranged diagonally so you have to press both w&d to go in a straight line... you also have to aim melee attacks with your cursor. I think this would be slightly easier with a mechanical keyboard but I only have a laptop. In all fairness I am unused to this but I'm genuinely considering refunding the game because of how janky it is to play without a controller.

[Savaticus]

It is playable, but a lot easier with a controller IMO.

Just get a controller. It's one small, relatively inexpensive, piece of kit that's going to make some games all that much more enjoyable to play. I bought a PS4 dualshock controller for playing platformers in particular. Some games are easier to play with k+m, but some types of games end up harder than they need to be. Got mine for about 35 euro on Amazon. It is an official one, just one of the "uglier" print jobs, but I am okay with that. XD

I don't own a controller and I've beaten the game no problem. The melee aiming with the mouse is a bit weird at the start but you get used to it.
So far the only game I've played that I wish I had a controller was titan souls. One reason I don't like controllers is that I can only use 6 fingers to play as opposed to 8/9 for keyboard and mouse.

Yes, melee attack aiming is very bad.

i feel like this is type of game to play with a controller but i don't have one to hook up to my computer so i just kinda get used to keyboard controls and WASD was pretty easy to get the hang of as well as the mele combat after the first queen mandrake fight

The keyboards are for typing. It's beyond me how people play games on it. Point & click, strategies and fps are the only genres I can imagine that could work on a kb/m set up.

Depends on the platform. For everything on earth EXCEPT the iPhone it’s easy.

They put up with it because even cheap mice have even the best console controllers so pwned in FpS (and most other genres, though not all) people have written jokes about it. Not on like a wall or something, into a word processor. For money. It’s so bad cross play in fps games was allowed…for less than a week. Pros were complaining that noobs were crushing them. It was carnage. In this game what is screwing me blind is the on screen “keys” on the phone. I want real keys bad. So bad I bought a keyboard just to play this game… except I can’t make it work🤬. Which is why I’m here.

From what I can tell thabsolute opposite… if you’ve got a phone….
If you got PC or Mac if the keys to control the avatar aren’t “mouse to it and click” in which case you’re in the same boat.
Then you could code up some autohotkey and poll their screen locations and bind them to a key to get your real keys back. I assume if this was the case someone wrote one within hours of the game being released. It’s easier than writing a copy left version of it for iPhone. Which is another option for me. I’ll just get a fist full of stili first though. Theyre cheap. I suck at code.


..hah! And I think someone did! It’s called “shortcuts” I think. Maybe. Gonna have to explore it. If this works any Bluetooth keyboard will work for you on any platform.
