I realise that I may be looking at this problem from a 'modern gamers' perspective, but I was wondering if there was any easier way to actually face the direction your enemies are in when fighting?

I haven't been a PC gamer in about 30 years (!!) but I started playing The Summoning last night, and while it is a really fun game, I seem to be absolutely unable to control my character well enough to know which direction to face in while we are in combat.

Of course I realize that this could simply be a case of practicing more and getting better, but I was also wondering if maybe there was a hotkey that faces you towards the closest enemy, for example, or even any tips that might help me get better at combat.

Any insight or suggestions from more veteran players would be sincerely welcomed!

A late answer but for everyone jumping into the Game as me this Week:

Use the NUM Keys for that, as you can aim precisely into eight Directions.

The Game is also well thought out for its Time, you can map most important Keys via Dosbox to a Controller.
Thanks to the Developer that mentions that in the Manual at the End.
