Additional control settings
You can find the control settings in Gameplay tab of the menu. Among them, we have:
- Invert Axis - you can separately invert Y (vertical) and X (horizontal) axis.
- Controller vibration - enabled by default.
- Automatic target switch - when using Lock-On, the game can automatically switch to next opponent after killing the currently locked-on one.
- Grevious Strike Lock-On - this is a special attack that can be used on Staggered opponent. Having this option enabled makes using Grevious Strike easier.
- Camera Speed - The default value for camera movement is 1.00. You can, for example, increase the value for faster camera control during combat.
