Hyper Light Breaker Sensitivity Adjustments: A Guide
Currently, Hyper Light Breaker lacks native sensitivity settings. This is a notable omission, especially considering the game's emphasis on precise timing and reactions. However, Heart Machine, the developers, have confirmed on Bluesky that a patch addressing this and other performance/accessibility issues is in development.
Waiting for the official patch is the recommended approach. This update will likely resolve several other reported problems. However, if you wish to proceed without waiting, there are 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. This effectively boosts in-game sensitivity, but remember this impacts your overall system mouse responsiveness.
Controller Users (DS4): DS4 software allows for joystick sensitivity adjustments. These changes will be reflected in Hyper Light Breaker. Alternatively, configure your right joystick to function as a mouse, then adjust sensitivity as described above.
Advanced Method (Steam Forums): A more technical solution, detailed in a Steam forum post by user ErkBirk (link omitted for brevity, but easily searchable), involves directly modifying game files via the Windows Run Command. This method requires a higher level of technical expertise and is not recommended for less experienced users. Again, waiting for the patch is advised.
In summary, while a dedicated in-game sensitivity setting is absent, temporary solutions exist. However, patience is advised until the official patch arrives, offering a cleaner and safer way to customize your controls.
Hyper Light Breaker is currently available.
