I absolutely loved Berserk Boy – enough to want to come back for more thanks to its fast-paced platforming, fluid combat, incredible soundtrack, and nostalgia-bomb of SNES-era gaming. This 2D action-platformer is worth the ride so you can GO BERSERK!!
Berserk Boy is a splendid and profound work, with a brilliant and lively game design, powerful and direct, capable of impressing and offering an engaging experience. To be had and propagated with joy, as this production is destined to be a yardstick.

Picture this: a game that's like stepping back into the heyday of Megaman, all pixelated and retro-cool, playable on those trusty old consoles. It's got those classic platforming levels that keep you hooked for hours, just like the good ol' days. But here's the kicker – you get to unlock these awesome transformations that totally shake things up! I'm talking about turning into badass forms and nabbing sweet new powers. It's like a blast from the past with a fresh twist. Whether you're a die-hard retro fan or just looking for a good time, this game nails that perfect mix of nostalgia and excitement. Get ready to geek out and have a blast!

The game is so fun!
I am not usually a platformer gamer but I am getting better and better the more I play it and it is so satisfying!
I love the smooth movements, the art style, and Kei just looks so cool!
People should definitely buy this and get addicted to that nice feeling when you can do multiple combos :)

Berzerk Boy's platforming action manages to eclipse its inspiration, leading to an experience that is an absolute must for fans of the genre.
Indie developer Zu Ehtisham layers the references thickly, offering nods to Mega Man, Azure Striker Gunvolt, and even Sonic the Hedgehog. But despite the occasional feeling of familiarity, Berserk Boy’s frenzied action is distinctive and delightfully rhythmic. Anyone with an affinity for the 16-bit era should give the demo a go.
A game that certainly isn't shy about what it is, Berserk Boy is a love letter to the Sonic the Hedgehog and Mega Man franchises. While there are arguably some slight concerns along the way on the design front, those shortcomings are overshadowed by fun and addicting gameplay. The game manages to pay great respect to the games that influenced it and still stand on its own at the end. Fans of both classic franchises will certainly enjoy going Berserk!
Berserk Boy manages to blend the spirit of retro platformers with modern yet familiar mechanics. You won't realize how you spent 6-8 hours with its high octane music and action sequences.
With the good outweighing the bad, Berserk Boy is another good game for an indie industry that isn't afraid to try put out fun and small games. It does need ironing out in some places but all in all, this is a great game.
Although uninspired at some points, Berserk Boy has good gameplay which, together with an impeccable soundtrack, makes it an interesting experience for fans of the genre.
