Castlevania: Belmont's Curse controls & keybinds

Castlevania: Belmont's Curse jumps on Cross and dodges on Circle (A and B on Xbox), attacks on Square and casts spells on Triangle. The Arcane Whip is R2 (RT), Holy Light is held on L2 (LT), L1 (LB) heals and R1 (RB) interacts. Every action can be moved under Settings › Controls, on a pad and on the keyboard, and a Custom Mode under Gameplay changes the damage, the potions and whether Rose can die.
