Gamepad controls don't feel good

I tried play the game with a controller and it felt really weird. Let me elaborate by telling you my experience with it.


Aiming doesn't feel good especially with a bow. Since your walking and aiming is mapped onto one stick its really difficult to say in one spot and just attack without getting dangerously close to your opponent. I end up running back and then quickly flick the stick in the opposite direction so that I can hit them. I thought since the game has Twin Stick Shooter controls on the keyboard that it would do the same on the controller, where you move with one stick and aim with the other, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Dashing is very clunky too. Not only do you have to let go of the stick that makes you move to the d-pad, but you also have to double tap one of the directions. I cant dash properly with a controller. Whenever I do I stop moving because I'm moving my thumb to the d-pad and then double tapping it then I put my thumb back onto the stick to move again. The double tapping is the big time waster and I think just changing it to one tap would be fine.


So I think the controls should be changed to match the twin stick shooter controls that the keyboard uses and make it nicer to play the game with a gamepad.
