# How to Play

True to the Roguelike genre, the controls of the **Crusaders of Crypto** game are simple to learn! Similarly, the game as a whole is ***turn-based*** so plan all your moves and attacks accordingly!

To move, players can use one of the following control mechanisms:

1. Drag the on-screen joystick (which nostalgically looks like a old-school D-Pad!)
2. Use the **WASD** keys to move up/left/down/right, respectively
3. Use the Arrow Keys to move

To attack monsters, players simply need to ***move*** into them!

To use potions and other nifty consumables:

* First open the inventory<br>

* Then tap on the potion you want to use! **NOTE:** Using a consumable causes the Players turn to end!
