Hyper Light Breaker Sensitivity Adjustment: A Guide

A armored man in Hyper Light BreakerCurrently, Hyper Light Breaker lacks native in-game sensitivity settings. This is a known issue, and the developers, Heart Machine, have publicly committed to adding this feature in a future update. They've addressed this oversight along with performance and accessibility improvements on Bluesky.

Therefore, waiting for the official patch is the recommended approach. However, for those eager to play now, several workarounds exist.

Workarounds:

  • Mouse and Keyboard: Adjusting your mouse DPI (dots per inch) offers an effective, albeit system-wide, solution. Increasing your DPI will increase sensitivity in Hyper Light Breaker and all other applications.

  • Controller (DS4): If using a DualShock 4 controller, utilize DS4 software to modify joystick sensitivity. This adjusted sensitivity will carry over to the game. Alternatively, configure your right joystick to emulate a mouse, then adjust sensitivity as described above.

  • Steam Forum Method (Advanced): A more technical solution detailed in a Steam community post by user ErkBirk involves directly modifying game files. This method requires comfort with navigating system files and is not recommended for less tech-savvy users. We advise checking the Steam forums for this detailed guide.

In summary, while a dedicated sensitivity setting is absent, temporary solutions are available until the developers release the anticipated update. Hyper Light Breaker is currently available for play.
