Berserk Boy: the Wildest Mega Man-like Indie!

[@NovelHawk1]

That "Model P" joke got me in splits

[@gagejoseph91]

This and Gravity Circuit are the best Megaman-likes to come out in years.

[@loyalcav1575]

Gravity Circuit I simp for, that game is up there as one of the best out there for me.

[@ransan]

GC dev is cool. Talked to him a bunch in the Discord server and a few of my suggestions and minor improvements actually made it into the game.

[@loyalcav1575]

@@ransan Awesome!

[@rift3487]

@@ransanalthough he hasn’t really talked to me he acknowledged a bug I found in the boss rush through Twitter! It was pretty cool

[@fridge9734]

Dont forget about 30XX

[@JaiDjangoSX]

Berserk Boy has honestly been one of my favorite games i have played recently. I’ve been working on beating every level taking no damage for the heck of it.

[@raniel0511]

I saw a mini interview with the developer and he said he was a genesis kid, and the game took inspiration from rocket knight and pulseman. Of course mega man and sonic too but mainly Sega Genesis games. Also great video, we miss you here even if it's not to talk about Megaman.

[@admrlraynor]

Thanks for the review Magnus! Speaking of Indy titles, hope you have played Gravity Circuit and would love to see a review of it from you!

[@MagnusZero]

It's on my backlog. Whenever I get around to it, I probably will make something like this for it.

[@brianli6562]

Both are now in my backlog. . . Many more to come.

[@MaiiUnhallowed]

I’m genuinely happy you’re still making things for us mega man fans, thank you

[@SirIsaacFortesque]

6:50 I certainly know that feeling. I personally haven't tried out many Mega-likes (No, I don't have a better name) there aren't that many that interest me tbh, there's Gunvolt, and I have heard good things about Gravity Circuit, (I don't think Shovel Knight is close enough to be considered a Mega-Like if you were thinking of that game) but that's pretty much it, I'll say this vid did get me sorta interested to play this game though, I do wonder, does it have a New Game+? I love it when those included, and that would also give more credence to the extra skills being expensive.

[@MagnusZero]

It does have NG+, apparently. I can't confirm that right now, however.

[@meathir4921]

I think they took queues from DMC here with how the form swapping and chain system works too. I wonder if that's what the devs modelled the shop pricing on because I felt the same about DMC3: SE and DMC4. Game looks awesome though.

[@lightningedge]

This is on my backlog and I have heard nothing but praises for it. I can feel how addicting and satisfying it is by just watching your footages in this review.

[@rockhyde7775]

Hell yeah I want to play this! Gonna buy it once it goes on sale!

[@rynzero_]

It's on sale right now son

[@MagnusZero]

It's 25% off right now!

[@UnlimitedMrX]

The idea of a Metroidvania thats speed-focused and takes cues from some of my favorite MM games sounds like the perfect combination, how have I not heard of this game before!? The gameplay footage youve shown was already enough to sell me on it, but what youve said really seals the deal. Definitely giving this game a look next time I get a decent amount of free time (whenever that is 😂). Thanks Magnus!

[@Bas_Brand]

it's not a metroidvania, just to let you know if that should be an issue. great game anyways

[@SwitchOdyssey]

Always great to see another video from Magnus himself great video btw probably thinking about getting it someday if I remember to lol.

[@MagnusZero]

It will be well worth it!

[@idealy8456]

Wow, I actually dig into how lively the effects and animations they work into the game. Probably gonna consider taking a little peek on this later.

[@MegamiShin]

I’d really like if you kept making reviews like this. I never heard of this game until now and stuff like this, Gravity Circuit, or Vernal Edge should get more attention.

[@SpeveBobs]

Man, the animation for the dash looks super cool.

[@Quantum722]

Speaking about Berserk Boy I remember a composer that I know who is currently making soundtracks for this game not to mention that he's the same person who made soundtracks of Gravity Guy 1 and 2 and it's Andrew DNG Gomes, great composer. Berserk Boy looks like a good Megaman game to me to all I know.

[@clies3286]

First I've heard of this game and I'm very sold, great video Magnus!!!

[@loyalcav1575]

Looks very fun. Last Megaman like I played was Gravity Circuit personally I had so much fun with it that if it was a official Megaman game it would be a big contender for best one.

[@ashharkausar413]

Nice to hear from you again, hope you're doing well magnus.

[@marcusmayo]

This game looks fun, I'll try it out. Glad to hear from you, Magnus! :)

[@Jprime777]

This game looks really good, I'll be checking it out. Great review too!

[@xmesman9844]

Lmao my top 3 franchises all in one game. I might have to play this one day

[@Brocknoth]

This game has been out for a month and I didn't even know about it? WTH?! Stellar review and thanks for the heads up Magnus. Might have missed this gem otherwise. On topic I'd be curious to see what you think of another indie game with heavy Mega Man vibes, Gravity Circuit. Can't remember if you talked about it at any given point or not. If you haven't you should seriously check the game out. Right up your alley.

[@planettyro]

Good Review Bra - Subscribed!

[@GreenTengu97]

Highly recommend checking out Gravity Circuit if you get the chance, the X and Zero vibes to that game are off the charts. If it weren't for Sea of Stars coming out last year, that would have been GOTY for me

[@just-mees]

My favorite megaman - like - game lately has been gravity circuit. it's moveset was so refreshing and the patterns of the bosses were so punishing that I actually *gasp* had to grind the learn the moveset for the final boss for a couple hours. Gunvolt could never.

[@Basharleg]

Could never what?

[@just-mees]

@Basharleg force me to learn the moveset of a boss. All gunvolt knows it's charge they phone, healing, revive automatically upon death eat hot chip and be invulnerable

[@kingslayerkoshy]

So does this game have an NG+ mode? With the expensive prices for upgrades I'd at least hope NG+ is something the devs considered to add. The idea of doing a new game with all your gear from the start is something I always like to consider.

[@JohnLML123]

There is!

[@Majin_Trunky]

This is what Mighty no. 9 should have been. It Looks pretty fun, can't wait to play it once I have possibility.

[@lovingfool2060]

I'd be curious of your opinions on gravity circuit! its something i also recently played and fell in love with

[@noelleonhart]

Now seeing a video like this, I really hope that you take a look into Virtua Unlimited Project.

[@nicholasadamson2103]

You had me at sonic megaman.

[@therighttrousers343]

I do like a longer megaman game, like the zx's, so hearing that the stages are long is nice. How many are there? Also, how gimmicky or unique are the stages? Because I like really distinct levels, including if they have a distinct gimmick or setpiece. Also, how much does the metroid aspect influence it?, because having played quite a few metroidvanias, very frequently I'll get lost and bored and not want to go back. Not a total deal-breaker, i beat hollow knight, but I'm struggling to go on Castlevania GBA collection or Pseudoregalia.

[@Ayunnuya]

Dang this def looks to scratch the mega man itch. Will def give it a shot someday

[@eramferguson1701]

One Mega Man game that is like this is Mega Man ZX/ZX Advent

[@JohnLML123]

WOOO! BERSERK BOY!!

[@georgelongcoal1117]

ok this looks so damn sick, I'll be damnedd

[@AgentIllusion73]

Heard of Gravity Circuit?

[@tiagomatias6667]

I don't know how much you get this but have you played gravity circuit?

[@k1ngjc159]

Hey Magnus, can u please check out Slave Zero X next?

[@IshInWonderland]

bought it to give it a try!

[@SnazzySoundwave]

I personally prefer Gravity Circuit, but this game is still fun.

[@antivillainhero505]

Maybe you should try Gravity Circuit that's the best game in my opinion

[@OMGpandemic]

"Berserk"?! Griffith did nothing wrong. Jokes aside, this looks fun!

[@loyalcav1575]

"GRIIIIIIIIIIIFFIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTHHH!!" Looks very creative too.

[@OmegaZero1082]

*My apologise for someone who loves Berserk Boy's gameplay,music,etc... Actually, Gravity Circuit is better than that shit The game control is suck, I can't even punch downward normally, still too complicated for me because I always lost my brain ,the movement speed feels like Gunvolt games, not like Mega Man games at all The UI is still very bad for me, just like the trash game on the internet The music is good, but not good enough (because I love metal music and 80s,90s music) And if you want to find a good 2d platfomer game, at least check the music composer (Dominic Ninmark is my favorite)

[@roll5d100]

guess i need to open my wallet... again...
