How to change controls in Half Sword
Screenshot by DestructoidYou can change all keybinds from their default in a few simple steps.
- Load Half Sword.
- Open Options.
- Open Controls, and choose Key Binds

There’s also a shortcut option to invert your mouse inputs if you don’t want to manually change all the keybinds. As of writing, there’s no controller support available for PC players. However, that could eventually change as the game gets more updates during early access.
