However, I'm confused on how to use the secondary weapon (the axe). The tutorial says to press "A" but that's the "jump" button. I've experimented with the other buttons with no success. As a result, that's one medium-range weapon I can't use which led to my getting pummeled by the first boss. anthony78 Well-Known Member Nov 13, 2015 3,128 703 113 #5 anthony78, Sep 26, 2023 The button to change weapons is up in the upper left part of the screen. Very unintuitive place to put it. Wish you could change button placement.

Concerning the controls, the game can be played with a controller. We are also working hard to provide a new feature that will allow you to customize the size and place of the buttons if you are playing without controller! @ColeDaddy Have you tried pressing the "R" button (right joystick)? Solarclipse, Anotherkellydown, elcrazy and 2 others like this. elcrazy Well-Known Member Sep 19, 2017 707 562 93 #12 elcrazy, Sep 27, 2023 Game is fun. Controls are ok. They aren’t he worst. The buttons could use some resizing. Especially the joystick. I find it’s not always reacting perfectly but they I’m not sure if the area is just too small. Same with the attack button. So being able to resize could help. Floating joystick may help as well. So far though great game. And the graphics are gorgeous. Really nice to look at. Been looking for a new premium experience on iOS. Hopefully this is the one. Good luck with the release. Roxton Well-Known Member Patreon Bronze Jan 30, 2015 170 90 28 #13 Roxton, Sep 28, 2023 I’m sure it’s something that will be obvious in hindsight, but… I just picked up a dagger. How do I equip it? (Touch controls.) Nothing I tap on in the equipment screen seems designed to change state. Tip for anyone using touch controls: To upgrade stats on the character screen, long-press on the stat. gaberaph likes this.

It doesn’t work on the Steel Series Stratus Nimbus. Also, when I have both the dagger and an axe, when choosing the button I used for the axe via touchscreen, the dagger is thrown instead. One button throws either weapon which is very confusing. Thedrawguy Well-Known Member Jan 8, 2019 54 33 18 Male #15 Thedrawguy, Oct 2, 2023 To change weapons, touch the top right icon and then touch equipment. Select the current weapon you are using and it should be highlighted with a red box. Then click the confirm button at the bottom right. A list of weapons should come up. Click the weapon you now want and hit confirm once again. Good luck! Roxton likes this. Thedrawguy Well-Known Member Jan 8, 2019 54 33 18 Male #16 Thedrawguy, Oct 7, 2023 Well this is very disappointing. The game is pretty buggy, crashing to workbench a lot. And finally my save file is bugged, dropping me into an area where I can’t see my figure or move him around. Too bad as I was enjoying this up until that point. My other save file is 3 hours old. gaberaph likes this. Sagar Asthana Well-Known Member Apr 9, 2020 122 47 28 Male #17 Sagar Asthana, Oct 29, 2023 Could you also add a 30fps option in the settings?

I thought my Xbox one controller was just missing a button or something. Push the R stick and an icon for it would be more clear. A controller map or being able to remap the buttons would have made it more clear to me, what was meant, as I could experiment when setting buttons and see what controls are possible. Oh, I can look up? What else am I missing? otherwise, I’m loving the game!

But its happened 3 times, now, after black virtue, sssroth, and one other boss. this has actually happened in a few other situations, like after a dialogue before fighting a boss. It’s maybe only 5 or 6 times so not too bad, especially with autosaves.

I want to remind everyone this game does have controller support it’s too many buttons on the screen I’m definitely playing with a controller I haven’t bought the game yet though
That buttons changes the primary weapons, which thus far are sword and bow. The axe is the secondary, which doesn’t work by pressing “A” as advised in the tutorial.
