I need a controller to play this game on steam? Seriously?

As on the screenshot: https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/861737390177968175/20402D7D3C720FF535934F62212539B40D231164/ (no "BUGs" sub-forum so posting it here)

all in one post, so to make for less looks and time spent in multple posts / threads,... etc. so first question is, looks ok, now for the history part anyway, who's done the research? and where are you from etc, developers etc? already read elsewhere a...

Well, can't even play the game, when I start the first mission in the campaign and gent to the stage ''press any button to continue'' i get the message that the game crashed. Any solutions?

I suppose the game has only mission based campaigns and no sandbox. Thanks
