Too many buttons and too fastpaced
Tried it, but I don't think I'm a good fit for the game. XD Thing is I'm not good with the having to use the middle mouse button to target lock while having to attack with the other mouse buttons and with having to dash a lot I can't find a good spot to remap lockon to. And there's a lot disorientation: in melee mode the camera is quite a bit behind and above the character and I'd like to adjust the camera to be closer, but I can't and when I enter shooting mode it's zoomed in too much and I can hardly see where I'm going and since avoiding enemy attacks in shooting mode is crucial, I'd just be killed easily. What did me in was having to press so many different buttons in quick sucession - while you do get a tutorial for each new gimmick you can use, it's via noral gameplay, unless it's a new magic attack you get at the Altar, so you can easily die - the pace with the tougher enemies is fast and I have to keep track of the fight while constantly thinking of which of the 4 or 5 special buttons I need to press in very quick sucession. And your special attacks only charge up if you attack enemies enough, so I can't rely on hit and run tactics either. I don't know if I can't get the controls remapped so they suit me or is it just too many buttons to think about simultainiously, but I don't feel I can keep up with all this. XD What I did like gameplaywise was the compass mechanic: a red arrow if you're near a treasure chest and a green one for where to go - if I had to manually orienteit with a compass I'd be lost in 3 seconds falt, but this worked well for me by just giving me an indication about what direction to head into. I do like the game's characters and I'm intrigued at the setting and story, but given I can't keep up with the gameplay I'll get a Youtube video for the story instead. While the game is probably meant to be played with a controller, I'd prefer not to mess with one when I have games that feel less overwhelming to play.
