Apolypter Controls & Keybindings
Every default keybinding in Apolypter, and the two bindings worth relearning first.

Quick Answer: The Control Scheme
Apolypter uses a standard action layout: WASD to move, mouse to attack, Q to swap between your two weapons. The two bindings worth relearning early are Shift (dodge-roll — it cancels attack recovery) and Tab (bestiary — weakness lookup mid-fight is a legitimate tactic).
| Action | Default Binding |
|---|---|
| Move | W A S D |
| Attack / Charged shot (hold) | Left Mouse |
| Swap weapon (Sword / Bow) | Q |
| Interact / Loot / Place summon item | E |
| Dodge-roll | Shift |
| Bestiary | Tab |
| Map | M |
| Inventory | I |
| Quick slot (potions) | 1-4 |
| Menu | Esc |
Bind dodge-roll to a side mouse button if you have one — the Warden fight punishes keyboard-Shift rolls during the sweep combo.
