I played Diablo 1 for a few sessions many years ago and always assumed keyboard + mouse would be the only way I’d play the games when I finally got round to them, but after playing IV on my Steam Deck I’m having the same difficulty adapting.
I think it’s just because I spend the majority of my play time using a controller. I’m playing all four games simultaneously at the moment:
- Diablo + Helltide (with DevilutionX) - 90% Steam Deck, 10% KB + M
- Diablo II Resurrected - 100% Xbox
- Diablo III - 100% KB + M
- Diablo IV - 90% Steam Deck, 10% KB + M
Ironically, III feels like it might be suited to a controller more than I and II, but I have it on PC and can’t find a good way to use a controller with it.
Either way I’m having a blast finally catching up with this series, I’m not sure what took me so long!
I posted on another thread earlier and got an error, so pressed submit again and found it was double posted. Also, I wasn’t able to delete my duplicate comment. I’m not sure if it was an issue with the server or with the Memmy app, which I’ve started using today.
