| People really, really love this and I can see there's a great game to be found here, but there's a control issue that ruins it for me.
It's an isometric shooter/brawler hybrid vaguely in the style of Secret of Mana or Ys. It's faster than Mana but not as fast and smooth as Ys. The thing is, in the Ys Oath trilogy there is no mouse cursor and melee attacks always face in the direction of your movement. In Wizard of Legend there is a mouse cursor and both melee and projectile attacks face in the direction of the cursor. In Crosscode there is a cursor, and projectile attacks always face the cursor, but keyboard melee attacks face the direction of your movement. The result is a goddamn clusterfuck. This is a game where you have to catch highly mobile opponents during brief vulnerability windows, but your attention has to be divided between two different aiming systems, so oftentimes I'll execute a super melee attack at the right time with my cursor over the enemy but the attack fires in the wrong direction and I miss my window. Again and again. It's maddening! I made a request at the steam forums to add an "always face cursor" option, and I got a response, but the developer didn't sound enthused at the prospect of adding the option. So I'm giving up on this game. |
