In this guide, we’re going to go over the basic controls in Ghost of Tsushima.
Controls Guide for Ghost of Tsushima
Ghost of Tsushima is an action-adventure game in which players will play as a part samurai, part ninja, so you should expect plenty of time dedicated to slashing up Mongols and jumping from rooftop to rooftop.
In addition to its excellent swordplay, which involves the use of four different stances, you’ll have access to ranged weapons that you can use to pick enemies off from a distance.
As for traversal, we’ve already mentioned leaping across the rooftops, but there’s also platforming around the open-world with the help of a grappling hook.
Below you can check out the control guide straight from the game itself, or if you prefer a more written/tabled look at the basic controls. You can check that out below as well.
