Mewgenics Hotkeys & Controls
Mewgenics is designed around keyboard and mouse, though controllers are supported. The default hotkeys cover movement, spells, camera control, and tactical view. If you are missing inputs during combat, learning the default layout will make fights much smoother.
This guide lists the default keyboard and mouse controls exactly as they function in game.
What Are The Default Controls In Mewgenics
Below are the default keybinds.
General Controls
Select is Mouse Left Click
Tactical View is Mouse Middle Click or Ctrl
Cancel is Mouse Button 4 or Esc
Pause is Mouse Right Click
Zoom In and Zoom Out is Mouse Wheel
Flip Furniture is Mouse Right Click
Skip Cutscene is Mouse Left Click
Tactical View simplifies the battlefield and makes positioning clearer. It is extremely useful in crowded fights.
Combat Hotkeys
Move is Left Arrow or Right Arrow
Use Weapon is Space
Use Trinket is Shift
Basic Attack is Q
Spell 1 is W
Spell 2 is E
Spell 3 is R
Spell 4 is T
Spell 5 is Y
Basic Attack is separate from Weapon use. Spells are mapped across the top letter row for fast access.
Move uses directional arrows by default. Spells cannot be remapped.
Tactical View Tip
Holding Tactical View shows simplified icons for units and enemies. This makes it easier to:
See enemy positions clearly
Avoid hidden units in grass
Understand battlefield layout
If fights feel visually overwhelming, use this often.
Mouse Versus Keyboard Use
You can play primarily with the mouse, but using keyboard hotkeys speeds up combat significantly.
For faster turns:
Use Q for Basic Attack
Use Space for Weapon
Trigger spells with W through Y
Once memorized, turns become much faster and cleaner.
Can Controls Be Remapped
Some controls can be remapped in settings, but certain spell keys cannot be changed.
Controller support is available, though the game was built around keyboard and mouse.
Final Blurb
Learning the default Mewgenics hotkeys prevents missed inputs and wasted turns. Tactical View improves clarity, and keyboard shortcuts make combat much faster than clicking every action. If you want smoother fights, memorize Q, W, E, R, T, Y and Space early.
