How to Change Sensitivity in Hyper Light Breaker

Want to fine-tune your controls in Hyper Light Breaker? With its emphasis on lightning-fast reflexes, precise control is key. Unfortunately, currently there's no in-game sensitivity setting. This is a known issue the developers at Heart Machine are actively addressing, with plans to include a fix in a future update. They've announced this on Bluesky, promising improvements to performance and accessibility as well.

While waiting for the official patch, you have a few workarounds:

Adjusting Sensitivity: Workarounds

Mouse and Keyboard: The simplest solution is to adjust your mouse DPI. This can be done through your mouse's hardware settings or using software. Keep in mind this affects your overall system mouse sensitivity.

Controller (DS4): If using a DualShock 4 controller, you can modify the joystick sensitivity within DS4 software. This adjusted sensitivity will then apply to Hyper Light Breaker. Alternatively, configure your right joystick to function as a mouse, then adjust the sensitivity as described above.

Advanced Method (Steam Forums): For those comfortable with file editing, a Steam community member (ErkBirk) has posted a detailed guide on adjusting sensitivity by directly modifying game files. You can find their instructions via [ttpp] (link to Steam forum post here).

In short, patience is advised. The developers are working on a proper solution. However, these workarounds offer immediate control adjustments until then.

Hyper Light Breaker is available now.
