How to Change Sensitivity in Hyper Light Breaker

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 notable omission, even for an Early Access title, but the developers, Heart Machine, have confirmed on Bluesky that a fix is underway, addressing this alongside performance and accessibility improvements.

This is excellent news, making it advisable to wait for the official update. While we await this fix, which should include other performance enhancements, you can explore workarounds.

Mouse and Keyboard Users: The simplest solution is adjusting your mouse DPI. Increase the DPI either through your mouse's hardware settings or software. This effectively boosts in-game sensitivity, though remember this affects your entire system's mouse responsiveness.

Controller Users (DS4): DS4 software allows for joystick sensitivity adjustments. These changes will translate to Hyper Light Breaker, providing a degree of customization. You could also configure your right joystick to function as a mouse, then adjust sensitivity as described above.

Advanced (Steam Forum Method): For those comfortable with more technical adjustments, a Steam forum post by user ErkBirk outlines a method involving direct file manipulation via the Windows Run Command. We've linked the post for those interested, but this option is recommended only for users with some technical experience. Waiting for the official patch remains the easiest and safest option.

That's how to (currently, indirectly) change sensitivity in Hyper Light Breaker. Hyper Light Breaker is available now.
