We're planning to keep shoot to move for this game. It's an intentional design choice, and we want to find a way to make that work really well. This game is being designed for mobile, and while it's possible to get a WASD-like movement scheme on mobile, we've decided to stick with shoot-to-move and make it the core of our design philosophy
There are a few reasons I think it's a good choice. It creates a need to discover new weapons to find better movement options. It adds an additional balancing dimension around weapons; items that block enemy movement or increase player movement would be redundant with WASD control (in other words, it gives more room to design cool items). And lastly, it's something I want to explore and try to make as good as possible, since very few games use shoot-to-move as their movement mechanic.
I know this doesn't really give you what you want, but I hope you understand why we've made these choices.
Cheers,
