Input Types
The following input types are supported for playing Etherscape:
Mouse and Keyboard
This is the most prominent control scheme that the game was originally designed for. By default, the following mappings are used...
Movement
WASD keys
Attack Direction
Mouse Cursor
Attack / Interact
Left Mouse Button
Abilities
Number 1-5 keys
Dash
Space Bar
Sprint
Left Shift
Town Portal
R
Use Potion
Q
In the options you can enable "Fast Action Mode". When you do this, it will automatically case abilities at the location of the cursor instead of waiting for an additional click.
Gamepad Controller
Gamepad support is added with release 0.20.5.1. Below are the default key mappings...
Movement
Left Stick
Attack + Attack Direction
Right Stick
Interact
South Button (A on Xbox, X on PS)
Back
East Button (B on Xbox, Circle on PS)
Abilities
Bumpers + Triggers +
North Button (Y on Xbox, Triangle on PS)
Dash
West button (X on Xbox, Square on PS)
Sprint
Left Stick Pressed
Town Portal
D-pad Right
Use Potion
D-pad Up
Gamepad support is still new and we will iterate on it with feedback from the community to make it as effective as possible
When casting abilities you can use your attack stick to adjust their cast location on the screen. If you enable "Fast Action Mode" then while the ability button is held down you can select the location and when the button is released the ability will cast at that location.
Touch
Touch controls are not yet added, but we will add them if / when we ship on Android. In general, they will be similar to the gameplay controls using on screen joysticks and buttons.
