Thanks for the feedback! This is something we often hear from new players and we understand it can take a moment to get used to. A little while ago, we shared a deep dive on how we came up with this control scheme and how central it is to Arkheron’s gameplay. If you’re interested, you can check it out here.
I hated it at first, but I’ve grown used to it, and I don’t think it’s that bad. I think the angle could use some fine-tuning for sure though. I think either way you would need to lock it, otherwise you’d have players that angle down the camera as much as possible that gain an advantage due to view distance
I wouldn’t say the camera angle is not good but having played so many games in which you can adjust the angle while in combat, makes me feel the game limits the ability to obtain spatial information. Eventually, anyone can get used to it but consider testing a camera angle customization option.
EDIT:
I don’t even think it’s necessary to be able to change the camera 90°; as long as the mouse allows a small 20° up and down movement, that’s enough. My 2 cents.
