Which Is Better: Controller or Mouse and Keyboard?

It’s an age-old debate whether it’s right to play certain PC games with a mouse/keyboard or a controller. The Halls of Torment controls have a simple answer: it’s up to you. Regardless of your choice, it takes practice to get faster with the movement. Monsters constantly attack you, so you can’t stand still in this game. They attack you from every angle possible too.

With a controller, you might see yourself moving precisely in a particular direction. The keyboard locks you into eight movements thanks to the WASD controls.

A mouse does make the Halls of Torment controls easier when it comes to locking in on enemies. It’s helpful on those stronger enemies when you need to focus your attacks. With a controller, you can still target other enemies even if the auto features are enabled.

Both have their benefits, but it still comes down to what you are more comfortable using. It’s more helpful that you always enable auto features, though, no matter what you control Halls of Torment with. By doing so, you ensure your character won’t become overwhelmed.
