Hi,
I know that I can connect an Android controller, technically. But is it worth it - can you achieve smoother gameplay with it? I figure I could connect the pad to my big screen and use the controller to run the game, which sounds pretty cool. In theory.
I tried playing with Bluestacks, and found that it's just no match for my pad - with my pad I can change direction while firing and moving, while in Bluestacks I can only move in 8 directions (45deg steps) and I have no way to fire, move and change aim at the same time. I read a bit about controller configuration there, but the key point is really the ability to fine tune robot direction, that is, move just slightly to follow your target, and I couldn't see how you could do it even with a game controller for a PC.
I guess an android controller could work, if you had a joystick controlling movement direction, and a swipe control to rotate your robot. Can you do that with an android controller, and if yes, which model(s)?
Best, F.
