RuneScape: Dragonwilds is out now in early access on PC, and it’s Jagex’s take on the survival RPG genre. With plenty of systems to keep track of and shortcuts to learn, knowing the controls is pretty important, especially if you’re playing with a keyboard and mouse.

I didn’t have much luck doing it for controllers, but the controller support is currently quite poor in the game. You can’t move through menus using the d-pad, and it’s quite annoying. I’m confident that this will improve during the course of the early access period.
For now, though, I recommend playing RuneScape: Dragonwilds withkeyboard and mouse over a controller.
