Not a great experience it seems. The game looks extremely bad, and if you couple as you say with bad controllers then this is a reversed masterpiece.
Even the 'epic' hype video looks very very very shitty, it honestly looks like a bad Sega CD game and it made me wonder to myself WTH did I just watched? I can even imagine playing this game.
Sorry for your awful experience, thank you for sharing this, and I will beware not to buy it.
