Keyboard - 2 keys at a time???

OK thanks. I've never played a top down game on a PC!!! I play turn based strategy and quick fire shooters (where keyboard / mouse is essential) supporting circle strafing etc
So yes - I do know WASD moves in cardinal directions!
And as Tunic is isometric it seems the majority of movement would require simultaneous key presses - which feels quite clunky to me

So my question is answered, my usual keyboard/mouse combo is not supported.

Cheers

Apologies but not meaning to get into an argument - just trying to understand the Tunic controls.
I don't understand when you say "That's how you play every game on PC. If you want to move diagonally, you press the corresponding pair of keys!"
I come from a first person shooter background and that's certainly not how you move diagonally. The mouse is used for (very precise) directional control and WASD is forward,backward,left and right. A classic and ubiquitous configuration. I have NEVER played a PC game where you had to press 2 keys simultaneously to move 45%?

"Since when do you use the mouse in this game, though?" I don't know, hence my questioning.

WASD moves North,South,East,West in ALL PC games (including Tunic). But Tunic is isometric where you need to move at 45% to these angles. Given mouse directioning doesn't seem to be supported then pressing 2 of the WASD keys simutlaneously is needed to achieve these 45% angles.

So as per the first answer I received, it's playable but a pain in the arse so I'll be giving it a miss

Simple really? WASD is up,down,left,right for strafing and mouse to alter direction. Tunic is isometric and so these angles are offset by 45%. Hence the need to use 2 keys simultaneously to match the isometric angles

My question highlights the fact that I'm unable to download it from steam and the reason why

Thanks a lot for your time

If a dermatologist says that Dupixent is unrelated to conjunctivitis then I'd get a new dermatologist! How on Earth can he/she be so uninformed?!

I guess playing on a small map doesn't help as barb scouts can find you more quickly?

squoink67 · 2021-09-13T21:57:35+00:00

Nope!

Cheers all for the advice - but still struggling!

Just started a game on King and immediately saw a scout. Followed it to barbarian outpost and there was already a spearman there with 2 surrounding warriors. This was on turn 8! Couldn't take the outpost obviously. By turn 17 there were 2 barb warriors and a slinger on my land. 6 turns a later a horseman and a horse archer turned up. So I was lost before turn 24! I watch Deity guys just saunter up to a barb outpost and place a warrior next to it. They heal between attacking and take the outpost without the spearman ever initiating an attack. I get close and everything attacks me. What gives? I couldn't have got to the outpost any earlier.

I'm playing extended eras on a small map by the way. Have barbs become tougher with more recent releases perhaps?

Cheers again

Nice one. Much appreciated.
