New phone controls: a joystick, an attack button, and aimed skills

Oct 14, 2026

On phones and tablets, the game now has controls made for touch, in the style of mobile games. They show up on their own when you play on a touch-screen device, held upright or sideways. On a computer with a mouse and keyboard, everything stays exactly as before. On a laptop with a touch screen, the game keeps the mouse and keyboard; if you want the touch buttons, choose Controls: Tap in the Game menu.

To walk, put your thumb on the bottom corner of the screen and drag toward where you want to go: the joystick appears where you touched, and the hero walks while you hold it. If you prefer, the joystick can stay in one fixed place. Tapping a monster, NPC, item, or door still works as before.

The big sword button attacks. One tap attacks your target or the nearest monster. If you hold it, the hero keeps attacking and moves on to the next monster for as long as your finger stays on the button. The crosshair button next to it, Switch target, picks the next monster without attacking. There is no auto-hunting: the hero only fights while you tap or hold the button.

The skills in slots 1 to 6 of your bar sit around the attack button. One tap uses the skill on your target. To aim skills such as Meteor and Teleport, drag your finger out from the button: a mark on the ground shows where it will land, and when you let go the spell goes there. Changed your mind? Slide your finger back onto the button and let go, and nothing is used. Holding the button without dragging repeats the skill, just like holding the right mouse button; aimable skills with a long cooldown, such as Meteor and Teleport, wait for you to drag or let go.

Tap the life or mana orb to drink a potion; hold it to keep drinking. When an item or Zen drops near you, a Pick up button appears: one tap picks up the nearest one, and holding it picks up several.

The row of round buttons holds the Menu, the Bag, the Chat, the PvP button (hold it to turn PvP on, instead of the Ctrl key), and the Raven for the Dark Lord. The Menu opens a drawer with every window and keyboard shortcut: Character, Bag, Skills, Map, Quests, Party, Chat, Game menu, Players online, Ranking, Return Scroll, Game messages, Item names, Zoom in, Zoom out, Full screen, Settings, and Help. Two fingers on the map zoom the camera in or out, and the Android back button first closes whatever is open, such as the drawer, an aim, or a window.

In Menu, Settings (or in the Game menu, under Touch controls) you can choose: Controls (Tap, or Classic to go back to the old tap-to-walk way), Button size (Small, Medium, or Large), Button opacity, Hand (Right-handed or Left-handed, which swaps the controls: joystick on the right and attack on the left), Joystick (Floating or Fixed), Vibration on devices that vibrate, and Resolution (Normal or High, which draws the game at the screen's full sharpness).

The buttons stay within reach of your thumb, away from the hero, and keep clear of the camera cutout on notched screens. The game rules did not change: damage, range, cooldowns, drops, and experience are the same as on a computer.

Phone held sideways in the Crystal Cave: the thumb drags the Meteor button and a golden circle on the ground marks where the spell will land, on top of a group of bats, with the notice Release on the button to cancel (shown in Portuguese). — Skill aiming: drag out from the button and let go where you want to cast. Game capture on an emulated phone screen, with a test character.

Phone held upright: the thumb on the joystick, in the bottom-left corner, walks the hero through the cave; the attack button and the skills are on the right, and the life and mana orbs sit above the joystick. — A joystick to walk and combat buttons within thumb reach. Game capture on an emulated phone screen, with a test character.

Phone held sideways: the Meteor hits the bats with damage numbers, the skill button shows its cooldown, and the Pick up button appears because Zen dropped on the ground. — After you let go, the spell lands on the aim, and the Pick up button appears when an item or Zen is nearby. Game capture on an emulated phone screen, with a test character.

Phone held upright with the Menu drawer open: Character, Bag, Skills, Map, Quests, Party, Chat, Game menu, Players online, Ranking, Return Scroll, Game messages, Item names, Zoom in, Zoom out, Full screen, Settings, and Help (shown in Portuguese). — The Menu gathers every window and keyboard shortcut. Game capture on an emulated phone screen, with a test character.

Phone held sideways with the Game menu open on Touch controls: Controls Tap, Button size Medium, Button opacity 85%, Hand Left-handed, Joystick Floating, and Vibration On (shown in Portuguese). — The touch control settings, with Left-handed chosen. Game capture on an emulated phone screen, with a test character.

Phone held upright in left-handed mode: the attack button and the skills are on the left, the joystick and the life and mana orbs on the right; the hero attacks the bats and the Pick up button appears. — In left-handed mode, the controls swap sides. Game capture on an emulated phone screen, with a test character.
