Im glad i lived long enough to be used to " Clunky " controls, because there's worse than this game for sure. I tried Astonia mmo or w.e its called and alt+f4ed after 2 minutes.

Lol dude. We both played darkdire so hardcore. I wonder if anyone has played a roguelike such as nethack, waz hack, rogue, or dwarf fortress or any game from the early 90s like dark sun.

Maybe someone would describe what they feel is clunky or nonsensical to actually provide valuable feedback.

I literally play MUDs with better controls, but yeah. They're really not bad after the first game, especially if you just used the keyboard whenever possible.

I mean, I'm bad at roguelikes, but I'll give it a shot: more than the usual bevy of key commands, the facing system makes movement feel like a chore at times. Say, if you don't run in straight lines because you're in an open field having to move around trees, or trying to make a little space in combat, then you spend a lot of time holding your "don't turn" button just going anywhere.
It's a neat concept, and you can acclimate to it, but it never quite stops being a stumbling block. I'd have preferred standard movement over it, to be honest.

Hey guys Soulash 2 will have better controls scheme i think <3

I'm curious, what is it about the controls you find nonsensical and clunky?

Turning and moving, which is the vast majority of interaction is handled by one hand without finger stretching and your hands don't need to overlap when using the rest of the controls.

That aside, the controls are fully rebindable. So if they're not to your liking you may rebind them to something you find fitting.

this game pretty ingeniously solves the roguelike problem of hotkey bloat by combining this movement system with alot more contextual environmental prompts and a very streamlined leveling system, it's now convenient to play a roguelike with a keyboard AND mouse and doesn't need hours of brain rewiring until you've got this random assortment of keys memorized

it also, combined with spongey enemies that do quite a bit of damage, manages to tap into why these tank controls also worked for older survival horror games

I've played all of those things a good deal except waz hack and I've certainly played well over 1000 hours of ADOM over the years.

I think the idea where you change facing, and then you move according to your facing is clunky and unnecessary. None of the other old roguelikes I played worked like that. Yes it's just one thing, but it's one thing that you're doing constantly. I'd have removed facing entirely.

I'm writing this knowing the game is completely done, just wanted to let it out.

In the options you can change the controls to the numerical pad 8 way keys. Give it a try.
