Hi everyone - I'm pleased to say we have another patch ready for Berserk or Die!

This update focuses on making control schemes more flexible and easier to understand for new players, plus a few quality of life tweaks

  • Added a drop-down menu in the option for selecting the preferred input method, so that the game doesn't switch input mid-gameplay, hopefully creating less confusion for players

  • Updated the Tutorial stage, letting the player choose which input method to try out in the tutorial

  • Updated the character selection input screen to showcase the selected input method and not everything at once

  • Added a Keyboard (simple) input mode, that's thought for people that have trouble with keyboard rollout issues (meaning they can't input more than X amount of keys simultaneously)

  • Updated the bargain in the peddler to showcase the % chance of bargaining the prices and the resulting discount if said bargain is successful

  • Added a visual indicator to the buckets/barrels projectile in the Samurai House stage

  • Reduced the background elements in the Forest stage for better visibility

  • Solved an issue where the Phalanx boss wouldn't be correctly defeated if certain specials were used

  • Improved visibility of the Girl when playing the Demon of Discord, so that now she has an outline when hidden by foreground or background elements

  • Solved an issue where wireless/bluetooth controllers weren't recognized properly

  • Mouse and Keyboard / Keyboard only / Mouse only / Controller now have a "Simple" and a "Berserk" control scheme variant, one is for ease of play and one is for going full Berserk or Die!

  • The training ground (tutorial stage) now has an input selection menu at the beginning of the stage, letting the player choose their preferred control scheme

  • When a controller is connected for the first time, a menu is opened, asking players to select between the "Simple" or "Berserk" control scheme for controller

There will be another patch following this one very soon, which will add even more flexibility to the game's control methods. In the meantime, check out our character breakdown video which gives tips and tricks on each character in the game!

Thank you!
