Poorly implemented. This could be a fun, but instead high levels require a level of precision and intentional strategy that the control scheme doesn't support1 found this helpful

it's like if Masahiro Sakurai made a mid-2000s flash game. would definitely reccomend.
Berserk or Die is a wildly inventive action game that takes a straightforward survival premise and transforms it into something genuinely memorable through its unusual mechanics and relentless pacing. Developed by Nao Games and published by poncle presents, the game casts players as a lone warrior stranded on a battlefield where enemies continuously charge from both the left and right sides of the screen. Rather than relying on complex narratives or expansive worlds, the experience focuses entirely on survival, reflexes, and the satisfaction of carving through massive groups of foes. Its minimalist design allows the core gameplay idea to take center stage, resulting in an experience that feels refreshingly different from most modern action titles. The game's most distinctive feature is its unconventional control system. Instead of carefully timing attacks through traditional button combinations, players unleash increasingly powerful strikes by pressing multiple keys at once. The more aggressively the keyboard is used, the more devastating the attacks become. What initially sounds like a novelty quickly proves to be an effective way of communicating the chaos and desperation of bat…
very fun roguelike by one of my favorite devs :) <3 poncle
