I'm on Windows 10, the game registers the control to skip the intros but does nothing else after that. I havn't touch the control map and when one out of a hundred game doesn't work i hardly think it's my setups fault ;)
The keyboard controls are terrible in the sense that those controls are terrible by themselves and using a keyboard just makes it worst regardless of the key mapping.
That pseudo-nostalgia for the 1995/2001 era has to stop. Games from that era were terrible. They had good ideas, but terribly badly executed because of the limitations of the hardware. Now he have good hardware, devs should take the good of those games and remove the bad, badly bad such as tank controls and aim, and skip the low polly bullshit. The nostalgia for the SNES era if perfectly understandable, 2d graphics were at their best and indie developers have taken advantage of it by using beautyfull pixel art, and taken what we liked from the gameplay of those games while removing the bad parts such as passwords, lives, etc. There should be no nostalgia for the late 90's, the 3d was prehistoric and there were a lot of gameplay issues. I don't see any reason why we have to suffer through that again.
