It works fine, and you don’t need to navigate menus too much anyway. Instead of optimizing them for console-style navigation, players must select menu options with a virtual mouse cursor. Like Asphalt 7, Gameloft has done a quick and dirty job of making the menus work with a controller. That said, playing with a controller isn’t a perfect experience. But it’s a lot more fun on Windows 8, is all. Six-Guns is a lot of fun on Windows Phone 8. I’m a big advocate of bringing console-style games to phones, despite the inherent limitations of virtual controls. I can’t stress how much better Six-Guns feels when played with a controller rather than a touch screen. Pressing the left trigger toggles aim zoom – unfortunately there’s no way to switch to holding to zoom instead of toggling. The bumpers conveniently switch between weapons. A rolls (wish it jumped), X reloads, Y calls up the map, and B calls the horse and mounts and dismounts it. Walk with the left stick look and aim with the right. With a physical controller, the game plays as you’d expect. Now Microsoft enthusiasts can enjoy the game on the comfort of their PC monitors or tablets using their controller of choice. This version of Six-Guns does support one very cool control option though: the Xbox 360 controller! Android players have long enjoyed MOGA controller support, but the Windows Phone 8 version has sadly gone without that obvious feature. Xbox Windows 8 games aren’t required to offer customizable controls, and so they generally don’t. It’s probably the best way to play, not that you can configure the keys or anything like that. Turning off aim assist is actually a viable option – the screen moves smoothly enough that you’ll still be able to get a bead on the banditos before they shoot you down.įor players concerned with accuracy, the game naturally supports mouse and keyboard as a control option. On tablet or PC, you can quickly switch between targets and even aim at specific parts of a target. This fixes my chief complaint about the phone version: the bad aiming. I already mentioned that Six-Guns’ frame rate is far better on Windows 8 than Windows Phone.
