I played for about 30 minutes so far. Controls are super funky and tough to get used to at first. I wish I could configure the controls so that the right stick moves you directionally instead of using x (on PS4 controller). Maybe they will change that. After a while I kind of got used to it enough to where I could finally start enjoying the game a bit instead of focusing so much on the weird controls. What are your thoughts? Stronsay Well-Known Member Aug 6, 2015 987 230 43 #6 Stronsay, Oct 2, 2020 I don’t have a controller but the screen can be fully configured in options menu, so was easy to set up for iPad. The way I see it; the whole point here is the character is not in complete control of her movement but being pulled in all directions by a sword with a mind of its own. It seems the controls are designed to convey that slightly drunken feel to the player. I imagine not everyone can handle it but kudos to the developer for trying something different.

I kind of got that since at the beginning a little bit when something was said about nobody being able to wield the sword as well as the Queen. Now it's making sense and I can dig it. Thanks Stronsay. Rocco SE Well-Known Member Jun 16, 2020 267 258 63 Male Modern Mime Artist Austria https://silentrocco.net #8 Rocco SE, Oct 2, 2020 This game is sooo good! Feels like a complete Nintendo experience. Crazy cute (similar to Guildlings), with unique mechanics, and controls become intuitive pretty quickly. This game completely clicks with me and I cannot wait to make it slowly to the end. A keeper and a gem. ste86uk Well-Known Member May 9, 2012 6,774 1,000 113 #9 ste86uk, Oct 2, 2020 Played the first two levels and it’s nice I’ll definitely try some more. But I can’t help thinking why isn’t this just a duel stick game? Surely that would work much much better. Wicked8146 Well-Known Member Patreon Bronze Nov 17, 2009 777 50 28 Dinosaur hunter Los Angeles #10 Wicked8146, Oct 2, 2020 If anyone is having an issue with the game saying "Slash Quest is no longer available" when you try to play it, you have to sign out of the app store, then sign back in and it will work. Rocco SE Well-Known Member Jun 16, 2020 267 258 63 Male Modern Mime Artist Austria https://silentrocco.net #11 Rocco SE, Oct 2, 2020 Then it would be just another dual stick game. They make quite a lot of use of these unique mechanics. I really fell in love with them. orangecan Well-Known Member Aug 9, 2011 2,000 150 63 #12 orangecan, Oct 2, 2020 I’m quite enjoying it but finding the controls too sensitive or me, the game keeps reminding me that if I’m struggling I can change the controls on the options but I can’t find any settings to change the sensitivity. squarezero Moderator Staff Member Patreon Silver Dec 10, 2008 13,715 1,240 113 Male Chief Strategy Officer Salem, Massachusetts, USA #13 squarezero, Oct 2, 2020 Agreed! Beautifully done, and the Nintendo comparison is spot on. I’m finding that it controls like a driving game! Rocco SE likes this. Rocco SE Well-Known Member Jun 16, 2020 267 258 63 Male Modern Mime Artist Austria https://silentrocco.net #14 Rocco SE, Oct 2, 2020 Yes, a review on YouTube mentioned it feels like steering a car with a sword attached to the front. Micro Machines is a good reference point. It really just need to click, then you cannot blame the controls at all. orangecan Well-Known Member Aug 9, 2011 2,000 150 63 #15 orangecan, Oct 3, 2020 I’ve got a bit more used to the controls now, I still wish they were slightly less sensitive but I’m getting used to it and enjoying it a lot more. orangecan Well-Known Member Aug 9, 2011 2,000 150 63 #16 orangecan, Oct 3, 2020 Has anyone any idea where the mid level save points are please? First time I’ve had to quit a level (5) without finishing it and I assumed it would save mid level because one of the options is restart from checkpoint, but when I restarted it was from the beginning. I’m not sure exactly how far I’d got but I’d gone past a few places that, what I thought, were obvious checkpoint locations. I hadn’t got any orb things yet so I did wonder if that might trigger a checkpoint? Thanks orangecan Well-Known Member Aug 9, 2011 2,000 150 63 #17 orangecan, Oct 3, 2020 Ok well I’m still not sure where the save points are because I played it through, but the level I was talking about was Venomous Forest (not 5), and the saved game started me from the level beginning, but with the first ‘fight’ section completed. However, there was a bug, in that the thing to put my sword into to change the path had just disappeared! Previously you had to get a bomb, blow up a rock to get to the mechanism, which I’d done on my last game and progressed to the next part, but this time the rock and other thing weren’t there so I couldn’t do anything. I restarted the level from scratch, and all worked fine except that a chest that I’d looted the last time was empty and already opened... anyway, if anyone does know where it saved I’d still be grateful!
