There are tribes to unite, masks to collect, and powers to unleash in Soulmask. However, learning the game's controls is an essential step you need to take before exploring all of the mysteries that Soulmask has to offer. We have the details below for all Soulmask controls on PC whether you're using a mouse and keyboard or your preferred controller.

Soulmask Controls - PC (Mouse & Keyboard)

Soulmask mammoth screenshot Plenty of the controls in Soulmask are similar to those you find in other modern open-world survival crafting games. You can expect a light attack, heavy attack, dodge roll, sprint button, and other basic character controls. Additionally, Soulmask has its tribal system. This allows you to assign work to different tribesmen and manage other aspects of their behavior. While none of the controls in Soulmask are too challenging to learn, there are plenty of actions to get familiar with. Luckily, you can remap your controls to fit your personal preferences. It doesn't matter if you're using a mouse & keyboard or controller. Follow these steps to change your controls:
  • Press Escape
  • Click on 'Game Settings' on the left side of the screen.
  • From the tabs at the top of the screen, select either 'Keyboard and Mouse' or 'Controller'.
  • Find the action you want to change, and select it.
  • Click on the new button you want bound to that action.
While there are some differences between playing with a mouse & keyboard versus a controller, the game is entirely playable with either option. Choose the method of control and control scheme that works best for you, and have fun!
