When bringing Guidus Zero to Xbox, we didn’t want to simply port the PC version. Our goal was to craft an experience that feels perfectly at home on an Xbox controller.

In the early builds, movement and attack were bound together in a simple structure. But as combat speed increased, this caused hand fatigue during extended play. To solve this, we separated movement and attack into distinct inputs—a small change that smoothed the battle rhythm and became the foundation of an immediate, responsive control system designed for Xbox.

Our vision was clear: every dodge and every strike had to feel just as sharp and instantaneous as on PC. Xbox players can look forward to fluid movement, precise button mapping, and a combat rhythm tuned specifically for the controller.

Balancing Keyboard and Controller

One of our biggest challenges was ensuring that no matter which input method you use, the experience feels equally satisfying. For months, we fine-tuned responsiveness, button mapping, and input sensitivity to achieve balance.

We knew they could never feel exactly the same—but balance, not uniformity, was the goal. Each input method should feel different yet equally fun, with its own rhythm. On Xbox, this philosophy came together in a combat system that rewards both precision and intuition.

Controls Shaped by Player Feedback

Community feedback played a huge role in shaping the Xbox version. By listening closely, we introduced several key improvements:

* Super Cancel for seamless flow: You can now cancel into movement from any attack. This makes every action flow together, opening up dynamic plays that let you strike and reposition fluidly.

* Piercing dodge for strategic escapes: Based on feedback that dodges felt too restrictive, dodging now covers two tiles and ignores enemy collision, giving you a powerful survival tool when surrounded.

* Dedicated button for thrust attacks: The critical Thrust move no longer requires complex inputs. It now has its own button, allowing you to unleash it instantly when the moment is right.

With this feedback implemented, Xbox playtesters responded that out of dozens of roguelikes they’ve played, the build and combat variety in Guidus Zero keeps pulling them back. Every movement feels meaningful, and the grid-based combat feels natural on a controller.

Action That Rewards Mastery: [Learn from Your Runs]

The real achievement in Guidus Zero isn’t just stat growth or Artifact buffs—it’s the combat instinct and judgment you sharpen through every fight.

Just like learning a fighting game, every victory and defeat builds muscle memory and intuition. Over time, your hands will respond faster, your dodges will grow tighter, and your combos and cancels will flow more naturally. You’ll read enemies more easily and find that single tile of safety you once missed.

Eventually, you’ll find yourself making bolder, faster, and sharper decisions in the same situations that once held you back. With community-driven updates and full Xbox optimization—there’s no better time to descend into the Scar.

Guidus Zero launches today. Sharpen your instincts and uncover the truth that lies hidden in the abyss.
