Scipio, of course, was better known for his war against the Carthaginians during the Second Punic War. Good old Strategy & Tactics magazine…

A controller is a device, just like a mouse or a microphone.

Great - so why can't i use my mouse and keyboard.

You are of course, correct, but a decent controller costs around 50$ (at least where I am). That could purchase 3 other games on my wishlist. So the question is if I buy a controller and then support a game with no mouse support or buy 4-5 other games I'd like to play. At least as long as there are so many games that interest me, I'll skip buying a controller and play those other games. If I was desperate I'd probably buy a controller, but I'm nowhere near desperate.

While steam page says you need a controller on steam forums said the game will be playable with K&M at release.
