Berzerk: Recharged

Still A great game

I've been playing Berzerk since the 2600 days, one of my favorite Atari games. With that said I have no issue with this new version. Fun fast gameplay, 2 players option, good music, feels just like any other conversion of the Recharged series. I don't understand the hate for it, not sure what other fans were expecting. If I had the opportunity to play both versions back in the 80s, the Recharged version would've be my favorite. I recommend it, if you're not a purist you will enjoy ir.

Not the best of the Recharged games. I've enjoyed almost all of the new recharged series, but this one missed the mark. The dual stick/press button to shoot just doesn't feel "right" for Berzerk, the controls feel loose and the pacing of the game is off. Good Thing is the Original Berzerk still holds up and is quite playable. So the fundamentals of a Recharged 2 game would be achievable. Give this one a pass unless they retool the game and control scheme. Maybe remove the push button to fire and just map to the 2nd stick? Then slow the pace by about 10% for the character speed to add some drama to the chase.

ツインスティックシューターだが他のRECHARGEDシリーズに比べて実績コンプ難易度は低い 触れれば即死のEvil Ottoもカウントダウン時にroomから出て仕切り直し容易なのが大きい。 オススメにはしているが、ぶっちゃけ全体的に比べるとac版が一番至高な気がする

Here are the pros & cons of Beserk: Recharge as I see it. Pros: 1. Beserk: Recharge is not the original Beserk arcade game, but that does not make it bad, just a revisioned twist that grow on you with time. Cons: 1. WHAT WAS ATARI THINKING!!! The original Beserk arcade game should come with this game, and not just available on Atari 50! I am not going to buy Atari 50 just for the original game, especially considering I already have most of the Atari 50 games on Atari Vault. Plus, new and veteran players of Beserk could enjoy seeing and playing both versions and see the evolution of the game.

I like it. It's quite different to Berzerk, though. The addition of the twin sticks and rapid firing bots makes it a lot more like a modern bullet hell than Berzerk but at the same time there's still something Berzerk-y about it. I do like it. The power ups are OK, although I never feel like I'm being allowed to totally let loose - I feel like it could do with something super powerful to really kick things off and up the pace to ridiculous levels and send adrenaline into orbit. I found the rail gun to be horrible, though, it's just a really slow underpowered power up that feels more like a power down. The robot voices are a bit of a let-down. They just sort of fade into the background and should have really been more of a highlight, since *everybody* loves the robot voices from the original. It was an odd decision to let them fall into the mix imo. Berzerk Recharged has good graphics, very clean. The music is good, but the firing sound get repetitive. Walking around holding down fire just means you're listening to the same sound effect for most of the game, over and over. Gets annoying. It's a fun little maze shooter, but I prefer the indie game Die for the Economy (also on Steam) for modernised Berzerk action, as it's more faithful to what made the original so much fun. Like someone else here said, I wish they'd included the original game as a separate game mode, but as it is you have to go in with the expectation of a new, Berzerk-themed modern twin stick shooter game, rather than a modernised Berzerk. If blasting robots in a maze is your thing you might enjoy this? It's alright and I've been having some fun with it.

Atari recharged series is fantastic can't recommend enough.
