Want to know how to adjust sensitivity in Hyper Light Breaker? With its fast-paced action demanding precise timing and reflexes, fine-tuning your controls is crucial. Unfortunately, there's currently no in-game sensitivity setting.
This is a surprising omission, even for an Early Access title. However, the developers at Heart Machine have confirmed on Bluesky that a fix is in the works, addressing this and other performance and accessibility issues. This is excellent news, and waiting for the official update is likely the best approach.
While a patch is on its way, if you're eager to play now, here are some workarounds:
Mouse and Keyboard Users: The simplest solution is adjusting your mouse DPI. Increase the DPI either through your mouse's hardware settings or via software. Keep in mind this affects your system-wide mouse sensitivity.
Controller Users (DS4): If you're using a DualShock 4 controller, you can modify the joystick sensitivity within DS4 software. This adjusted sensitivity will then apply within the game. Alternatively, configure your right joystick to emulate a mouse, and then adjust the sensitivity as described above.
Advanced Method (Steam Forums): For a more technical solution, refer to this helpful community post on the Steam forums (link to Steam forum post) which details how to directly modify game files. This method requires some technical comfort and is not recommended for all users.
In short, patience is key. The developers are actively working on a proper solution. However, these workarounds offer immediate options for those who can't wait to jump into the action.
Hyper Light Breaker is available now.
