Was thinking of getting this on Steam and firing it up this weekend.
Is playing with a controller that much of a hindrance?

Waiting paid off once again. Remember people kept saying it won't come to Switch because it's written in HTML5?
Speaking as someone waiting for a physical release, I'm just trying to avoid double dipping. If it's clear after a couple years that no physical release is coming, then I'll buy it digitally. That strategy paid off for Sonic Mania, Celeste, Golf Story and many others. That being said, I hope this sells well out of the gate.
There is so much actual level design in this game, it's some of the best level design I've seen in an action RPG.
I can't speak for others, but I actually played through the entire thing on a gamepad (PS4 controller) and really enjoyed the experience. It may be different on joycons, but there wasn't anything in the game that I felt required the sharper aiming of the mouse.
Game is really awesome but I am no fan of puzzles. But man if you love puzzles this game is a must buy. If you don't like puzzles just be prepared man this game has an epic crap ton of them in these dungeons. Just non-stop puzzle rooms
Great story though. I'm just going to continue to slowly play thru it on my PC

The developer kept saying it and putting it in their blog that it would never come to Switch. Looks like they were trolling the whole time. This game will hopefully make boatloads of money on Switch.
Might be better with KB+M, but I played throughout with a gamepad, and the puzzles are all perfectly playable, and I didn't really have any trouble.
- Trailer where I can't understand what the fuck is going on.
- So many health damage numbers that can't see anything else.
- Pervy fan service.
- Saturday morning anime garbage.
I'll pass.

Yeah I'm actually wondering now if playing with a mouse is causing me to play a more ranged heavy style than i would with a controller.
I'm not trying to trash the game with my criticism though, it's more like this could be the best indie game of all time and instead it's just a very good one with a handful of frustrating encounters.
It's generally really good about not asking you to make precision shots under heavy pressure. So far there have only been two points where I switched to the mouse for aiming. One of them was a puzzle sidequests, and the other was a sidequest that was so hard in the first place I couldn't beat it even with the mouse.
Just bought it on PC, but I'll gladly double dip. This game is one of those excellent quality indies that you have to have on the go.
It is the same feeling I had with Hollow knight.

Did I miss something here? There was literally nothing "pervy" in that trailer unless you consider the mere presence of women to be fanservice.
Anyway, game is amazing, and people should definitely check it out. I'm about 15 hours in on PC, and I'm seriously considering double dipping now.
From what I've played of the game so far, there has been zero "fanservice". All characters have been presented normally without a hint of sexual pandering.
People see what they want to see, I guess.
I'll definitely double dip on this. I'm still chipping away at the game since picking it up at launch and it's one of the best indie games I've ever played, the sheer level of polish and charm is extremely impressive
I assume they mistook the brief moment where you can see the main characters spats for a panty shot.
Maybe the part where the camera spins underneath Lea right before the title comes up. But like NeonBorealis mentions, there's not a bit of fanservice in the game.
I'm actually surprised this game is so slept on to begin with; It's so amazing!! Hopefully like Hollow Knight this game will get an insane boost in popularity after the Switch release! :O
Lmao okay. No pervy fanservice in the trailer or game, and it's nice that you know the quality of the story based on a gameplay trailer vs people who have actually played and enjoyed it.
I've played a few hours and haven't seen a lick of "fanservice." It's been very much like a traditional SNES/PS1 era RPG in terms of presentation and how characters interact. Comes off as pretty innocent and genuine.
There are precedents in Switch. 'Elliot Quest' started as a HTML5 game, and it was ported to C for the console releases.
This is only a possible solution.
The other one is to create an interpreter of HTML 5.
This definitely sells me.
I like the track in the trailer also. Gives me a Dreamcast-era vibe.
