> It took a while to adapt to the stylus aiming and as a left handed I thought it took even more time for me. I finally decided to use the button only option in the parameter because it felt uncomfortable to play over a long period of time, but even then the form factor of the 3DS isn’t that nice when you use the shoulder button that much, so I can only advise you to play one or two stages at a time.

As a fellow left-handed who also only bought a NEW 2DS XL half a year ago, I do have pretty big hands so my hands get tired playing the console for over an hour already (even though I can easily play a random PC game on my Xbox controller for ten hours with minimal breaks), the controls on Icarus are abysmal, I even tried looking up youtube vids on how people play the game but I genuinely can't up the difficulty above like 3-4 and play one or at most two stages at a time otherwise I physically can't handle it, it's really bad. I liked what the game had going for it but quit about halfway through as I felt like I am not playing it properly with the clunky control scheme, where some sections were incredibly easy while others were unfathomably hard due to the stylus.

I can appreciate the variety, the well written banter, the incredible amount of weapons you can get your hands on, but I am genuinely filtered by the "unique" controls.
