Instead, V Rising uses amouse and keyboardwith aWASD movementsystem and uses the mouse forcursor-based aiming. The game not having controller support will disappoint some, but the developers stated, “Players who mostly enjoy games with a controller/gamepad learned the controls on the keyboard and mouse without issues during their first V Rising experiences.” V Rising seems to have been designed from the ground up for mouse and keyboard.
