At the PC Game Show, a hidden gem called “Berserk or Die” was stealthily introduced. This indie game might end up costing you more than just the ticket price, as it requires you to ensure your keyboard can withstand the intense action.
As a passionate gamer, I can vouch that indie games serve as an excellent playground for developers to innovate with unique control mechanisms or intriguing gameplay dynamics. If you’ve got a brilliant concept up your sleeve and the skills to bring it to life, a colossal budget isn’t necessarily the key to success. Take Balatro, for instance, an indie game that showcases just how impactful creativity and talent can be.
The indie game Vampire Survivors has left a significant impact, with its innovative gameplay loop becoming a popular model for other developers to emulate and refine. Interestingly, the same studio behind Vampire Survivors is now financing and distributing another game: Berserk or Die.
The fundamental idea is that you need to aggressively tap or press multiple keys on your keyboard to deal more damage in the game. It’s an affordable, entertaining experience – provided your keyboard can endure the pressure.
Berserk or Die is a keyboard durability test
In most games featuring hand-to-hand combat, there’s a common tendency to believe that rapidly pressing keys will significantly boost your damage output. However, in the game ‘Berserk or Die’, this assumption holds true.
As a gamer immersed in this thrilling world, I find myself strategically positioning my attacks to either side of my keyboard. The reach of my assault expands with each key I press simultaneously. To conserve energy, I must judiciously use the space bar as needed, and for a unique move tailored to my character, I can swiftly maneuver my mouse.
As a gamer, I’ve found myself in a peculiar situation where this developer has simplified their game to just four main controls. Instead of moving my character around, it appears that the character advances based on the direction of my attacks.
What’s more, it’s only $4 to get Berserk or Die, a similarly low price point to Vampire Survivors. At least, the game’s cheap if your keyboard makes it to the credits.
It’s possible that enthusiastic gamers might find creative methods to press multiple keys simultaneously, all while preserving their gaming equipment. For instance, placing your feet on the keyboard could offer a larger contact area, freeing up your hands for mouse control during special attacks. Another idea is using mittens to cushion the impact and enable simultaneous key pressing.
Regardless of the route taken, given its exceptional idea, there’s a possibility that Berserk or Die could rank among the most successful indie games in 2025.
