Controls in the PC version of Darksiders 3
The following table shows all keys for the PC version.
{ramkaniebieska}Warning - the keyboard scheme for Darksiders 3 is not very friendly - playing with a keyboard and mouse may cause a lot of problems, e.g. inability to switch targets fast enough or choosing targets for a ranged attack. If possible, we advise you to use a gamepad, so the gameplay is less frustrating.{/ramkaniebieska}.
