KYOTO XANADU -the Blooming Phantom- Steam PC Controls Guide

Default Keyboard Layout

The Steam release published by Clouded Leopard Entertainment supports keyboard and controller with swappable defaults. Keyboard combat mapping typically assigns J to Standard Attack, K to Strong Attack, L to Dodge, Space to Jump, I to Spirit Bullet, and Shift to Guard. Soul Accel binds to Q when the Accel Gauge is full; Secret Arts use Q plus K in 3D at max Secret Arts Gauge.

WASD handles movement. Mouse cursor controls 3D reticle aim when playing keyboard-mouse hybrid; pure keyboard users aim via arrow keys or auto-lock toggles in accessibility settings. Class Preparation and academy menus favor mouse navigation for faster card drag-and-drop.

• J — Standard Attack
• K — Strong Attack
• L — Dodge
• Space — Jump (hold for height)
• I — Spirit Bullet
• Left Shift — Guard / Parry
• Q — Soul Accel / Secret Arts modifier
• WASD — Movement
• Mouse — 3D reticle and menu cursor
• E — Interact / Confirm in exploration

Controller Support

XInput and DualSense controllers auto-detect with platform-standard mappings matching Xbox layout: X/Y/A/B on Xbox map to Standard, Strong, Jump, Dodge respectively; RB Spirit Bullet; LB Guard; RT Soul Accel. PlayStation controllers mirror PS5 layout when connected via Steam Input.

Steam Input allows per-game profiles shared through Steam Community. Import popular profiles if defaults feel awkward for Issen timing — many players prefer Guard on left bumper and Soul Accel on right trigger for ergonomic parry practice.

Steam-Specific Features

Steam Deck compatibility is verified for handheld play with adjustable TDP settings balancing battery and frame rate during 3D battles. Cloud saves sync across PC installations linked to the same Steam account. Achievement integration tracks story, bonding, and combat milestones parallel to console trophy lists.

Steam overlay access during paused single-player sessions allows wiki reference without closing the game — useful for import players navigating Japanese UI. Screenshot and recording tools capture Issen sequences for timing review.

Remapping and Steam Input

Full remapping lives in Settings > Controls in-game plus Steam Input layer for controller chord actions. Bind Issen prompt buttons to comfortable keys if defaults conflict with muscle memory from other action RPGs. Toggle hold vs. toggle Guard based on parry preference.

Deadzone and sensitivity sliders affect 2D Spirit Bullet stick aim when using controller. Separate profiles for keyboard-heavy academy segments and controller-focused labyrinth runs can be swapped at hub entrances.

PC Performance and Input Latency

Uncapped frame rates on capable hardware reduce input latency for parry purists beyond console 60 FPS caps. VSync introduces minimal delay — competitive Issen learners often disable VSync with frame limiters instead. Ultrawide support expands exploration visibility though 3D arenas remain centered.
