Voyagers of Nera Controls Guide: PC (Mouse & Keyboard) and Controller (PlayStation, Xbox)

Before diving headfirst into the oceanic open world offered by Voyagers of Nera, you must learn the game's controls. Luckily, you can play the game with a mouse & keyboard or your favorite controller! We'll tell you everything you need to know down below.

Voyagers of Nera Controls - PC (Mouse & Keyboard)

Most controls in Voyagers of Nera should feel familiar to anyone who has played an action RPG or survival crafting game in recent years. You have an attack button, a dodge button, the ability to sprint, swim, jump, and create some buildings. Nothing too tricky! If your controls aren't exactly how you want, you can rebind them in the game's settings. You can do this for your mouse & keyboard or for your controller. Additionally, Voyagers of Nera is currently in early access. As a result, additional controls may become available or mixed around in the future. This also means that not all controls are mapped to the controller at this point in time. However, you can still play each crucial part of the game with a controller. You just won't have access to some functions, such as the game's Emote Wheel.
