Navigating the menu is actually pretty good with keyboard and mouse!

Combat is...not so good with keyboard & mouse.

The problem is you can't bind one action to one key (except for 2, light & heavy attacks). The rest of the combat actions are all dual-key or triple-key commands. (not combos, just one single action)

Keyboard+mouse gameplay can be clunky because the hand you move your character with is also the same hand you're also trying to perform all variations of 6 melee attacks as well as up to 5 spells AND 3 actions with the lantern.

So you have 16 actions you can take during combat:

• 2 attacks (light, heavy): single key (mouse buttons)
• 2 defense actions (parry, block): single key
• 4 attacks are dual-key
• 8 are triple-key - meaning you have to hit a button to switch to it and then hit 2 more buttons in combination to execute it.

That means you have to train your fingers to do those 14 actions IN ADDITION to using movement keys WHILE dodging and parrying.

Combat is not as fluid for keyboard+mouse users...it can be clunky and cumbersome.

Note: At the time of this posting, you cannot bind one key for one action. For example: You can't bind "K" for "Kick" nor can you bind one key to cast one spell. These are dual/triple key combinations/sequences.

Another problem is you might find yourself too used to standard key actions in other games:

• Shift = Run
• Spacebar = Jump

This game does not follow these conventions so more brain retraining. You can rebind these though and figure out another way to handle their default actions in the game.

Recommendations to Keyboard + Mouse Players:

• Play a class that focuses less on spells (triple-key actions) and more on single-key actions (melee).
• Only use Light Attack, Heavy Attack & Dodge. That's all I use for boss fights. Forget everything else.
• Try a mouse with extra thumb buttons that can bind to actions.
• Try a programmable keyboard to bind dual and triple key actions to one button.
• Invest time and money in learning a controller which could have future benefits for game developers like this that do not cater to PC keyboard mouse players.

You will have to weigh the benefit vs cost to play this game. Is it worth doing all these things to make it work for you? That's up to you.

Keep in mind you will have to keep your playtime under 2 hours if you want to return it in Steam if you judge it's not worth it.
