Berserk Boy is an obvious love letter to a wide swathe of the biggest 2D action games of the '90s, but it's not just a derivative throwback. Take the relentless speed of Sonic, the Saturday morning sci-fi vibes of Mega Man, and add in just a dash of Super Metroid and you've got the makings of a very special little platformer.
The big gimmick in Berserk Boy is its combo system, which encourages you to take down enemies at ridiculous speeds. With the basic elemental loadout, you can dash into enemies, dealing damage and creating a lightning chain to any baddies that take more than a single hit. You can then cash in that lightning with a tap of the B button to deal massive damage.
