The ''MediEvil ECTS Pre-Alpha'' features a vastly different control scheme from the final game. Most notable are the [[wikipedia:tank controls|tank controls]] when moving Dan around without the analog stick. Dan is also capable of sneaking and quickly turning around 180°, both moves that were removed before release. However, these controls are nearly identical to the ones featured in the ''MediEvil Rolling Demo''.

===Potions===
{{Main|MediEvil Rolling Demo#Potions|l1=Potions in the MediEvil Rolling Demo}}
