It's a bit like that (though not as hack and slashy, as you usually only encounter a couple of enemies at any given time) as far as gameplay is concerned, but it controls differently. In theory, I could have implemented controller support, but since the game was built from the start with mouse control in mind, I ultimately decided against it as it would have taken a lot more work.
No problem, maybe you'll find something else to your liking on sale :)
