Recommended keyboard bindings

Before going further, Castle Crashers is an Xbox 360 console port and therefore it works loads better if you have a controller to use! The configuration that is assigned to the controller makes the game a lot more enjoyable as you can be a lot quicker with the buttons being very close together.

First of all, to find these settings you must head over to the keyboard settings menu, it can be found using the below steps:

• Main Menu
  
• Help & Options
  
• Settings
  
• Keyboard Settings

With the image below you can take a look at my configuration and recommendations. For my particular setup, I have buttons on the side of my mouse that allow me to put settings closer to where my fingers lay.

Notes:

• The game doesn't automatically put attacks on the mouse but this is much better when you use the navigation features on W, A, S, D.
  
• If you're unsure, Mouse 4 and Mouse 5 refer to the bindings I've placed on the side of my mouse. Item Select is on the Up arrow key solely because there's no real reason to use it as you don't carry that many items in the inventory and just using Item Select on the Mouse key is enough to navigate through items. If you don't have any mouse keys, I'd recommend just putting Magic on the ALT key.
  
• For block I've put this on Shift as it sits fine with your pinky whilst you use other actions like Jump. I did try it out with ALT but I found it awkward at times during the game!
