Guide to Adjusting Sensitivity in Hyper Light Breaker

Need to adjust sensitivity in Hyper Light Breaker? With reaction speed and timing being critical in this game, tailoring the controls to your preferences is key. Here’s a guide to help you navigate the available options.

Adjusting Sensitivity in Hyper Light Breaker

Currently, Hyper Light Breaker lacks a built-in option to adjust sensitivity, which is surprising for a game entering Early Access. However, the developers at Heart Machine have shared on Bluesky that they’re working on a fix to address this, along with other performance and accessibility issues, in an upcoming update.

This is promising news, suggesting it may be worth waiting for the official update. Other gameplay issues are also expected to be resolved soon. While we haven’t shared our full review of Hyper Light Breaker yet, it’s clear the game needs some refinements. If you’re eager to play now and adjust sensitivity, there are workarounds available.

Mouse and keyboard users have the simplest solution. You can increase your mouse’s DPI settings, either through hardware or software, to achieve higher sensitivity in-game. Note that this adjustment affects your entire system, so your mouse may feel faster when navigating your PC.

For controller users with DS4, you can tweak joystick sensitivity within the software, which will apply to the game. Alternatively, configure the right joystick as a mouse joystick and adjust sensitivity as you would for a mouse setup.

A more technical option comes from the Steam forums. This method requires some expertise, as it involves accessing game files via the Windows Run Command to make adjustments. Follow the detailed steps outlined by user ErkBirk in the linked community post. If this feels too complex, waiting for the official update might be the better choice.
