Thanks for the assumption, but I have played it.
Grappling hook: Just tap somewhere on the screen and you'll launch it in that direction.
Most of the magic would work the same way, excluding magic missile which would need you to hold the stylus on the screen.



I realize you can highlight things in the hotkey bar to use, and I suppose magic would work on the fly, but the grapple would be a pain in the ass.
The very best and optimal solution would be to make the triggers automatically highlight the grapple hook but that still maims functionality as you'd have to switch back to your previous hotkey immediately after. Tapping hotkeys also poses a problem in terms of quickly needing to swap weapons while still maintaining your "mouse" movements on a target. Basically there's too much for you to do with the stylus to properly manage it when things get anything more than semi-hectic.

If you want to play the "it could work" card then i'll give you that, but it'd work on such a basic level that anything outside of beginner play would be absurdly frustrating and hard to do.
In case you didn't know, the grappling hook actually used to be an item you had to switch to.

Indeed, and the functionality of it being like that made people bitch about it SO much they made it a separate hotkey to shut people up about it.
Eh, I never had a complaint.

  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    i used to go out to the recycling center every couple weeks and look at the crts and other electronics people would drop off. Usually screens were broken or severely scratched from being tossed around. Did find a good one here and there, but never anything like a 1080i widescreen crt.

  • a_username_that_isnt_cool @ a_username_that_isnt_cool:
    Is it piracy if it was released for free? Not in my opinion, but I also think it's not piracy if buying it isn't owning it, and it's not piracy if you can't buy it from the original creators anymore.

    Free release can have loopholes where they still make money through ads
