Im really dissappointed in this game. it supposedly is "controller compatible". Unfortunately, that is not 100% correct. movement and camera panning work as expected, as well as attacks and special attacks. However, the start button somehow got mapped to the right trigger as opposed to the start button on the game pad. This is annoying since it is supposed to be the sprint button.


On top of the mapping issue, there is no way to access the the right side of the "donation" menu from your controller whilst in the loot shrine (at least not that i have been able to ascertain). The only workaround is to switch from game controller to keyboard and mouse. I feel like im being punished for what should be a pleasureable experience. Afterall, a dungeon crawler is all about reaping the rewards found in the myriad dungeons you visit.

While I fully understand the concept of minor oversight, game controls are integral to player enjoyment. I feel like the option to map button inputs in game would have been a marvelous option. However, since that is not the case and i am digitally flogged for attempting to sell my loot, I cannot recommend this game in its current incarnation.

May the devs hear my prayer, and the game gods embolden their action

when i tried using my controller, it didnt work right, the wrong buttons were assigned, and i couldnt start the game. Worst of all, there was no way for me to change back to a keyboard, so i had to restart the computer. And playing this game with a keyboard gets too confusing, especially with the horrible camera view

@ SeonR: i appreciate your response and have posted to the forum as directed.

@ zaxtor99: Yes....yes i did down vote. That's what you do when a product or service doesn't work as advertised. And yes, it is my controller, on my system, that runs borderlands 2 and battleblock theater just fine using the same game controller.

Im perfectly willing to turn my frown upside down if the issue is resolved ;-)

Can you please come to the forums so we can help you get your controller working? We'd love for you to be able to play.

Nice.. give a great game a thumbs down because YOUR controller mapped controls on YOUR computer are jacked up.

SMH.

FTD is 100% controller compatible in every pat of the game including the ACK and we have thousands of players using controllers perfectly fine.

What controller are you using, and on what OS? Did you post on the forums asking for help?

I'd love to get you sorted so you can play, so maybe post on the forums with your OS and setup details and we can find out what's going wrong on your system.

Cheers :-)
