How to Use Controller Mode for Top-Down Combat

Enabling Controller Mode and Auto-Targeting

If you prefer playing with a gamepad rather than a mouse and keyboard, the mod provides dedicated controller features designed for top-down action:

1. Connect your controller and enable controller mode in the mod settings.

2. Move into combat encounters; controller mode activates auto-targeting for nearby enemies, locking your focus onto threats without requiring precise manual cursor placement.

3. Use the controller's analog sticks to control smooth 360-degree camera rotation around your character while fighting.

Managing Character Movement in Battle

Controller mode replaces standard directional snapping with fluid movement mechanics:

  • Analog Movement: Move your stick gently or fully in any direction for smooth, responsive character maneuvering through crowded battlefields.
  • Decoupled Looking: The mod separates head and body movement, so your hero can face and target approaching threats while strafing or retreating in another direction.
  • Combat Mod Support: Controller mode and top-down targeting function smoothly alongside visual and magic combat mods without camera hitches or display glitches, letting you cast spells and swing weapons without losing your perspective.
