After making the best Mega Man-like in years and announcing a SRPG spin-off, indie platformer dev teases four more throwback projects in the works
Berserk Boy is just getting started

Berserk Boy is probably the best throwback platformer of the year, mashing together Sonic's speediness, Mega Man's boss-cosplaying powers, and some light Metroidvania elements. The game debuted to 'Overwhelmingly Positive' revie𓃲ws at laওunch - no surprise ther👍e - but its developer is nowhere near d♊one.
As if releasing the best Mega Man-like in years wasn't enough, developer Berserk Boy Games just announced Berserk B.I.T.S, a spin-off remixing the oft-forgotten strategy RPG Mega Man Battle Network that sees players fig🀅ht i🍰t out on a 6x3 grid. Berserk B.I.T.S is instead an idle auto-battler that you can play on the side of your desktop, with our little berserker fighting computer viruses while running across a 4x3 grid.
blurb says. "Collect and craft a plethora of battle chips to be used in real-time during battle. Each battle chip is placed in an ever growing library that you can strive to fill out." My favorite part of the trailer below is the ability to decorate your B.I.T.S' very own house though, complete with worker robots. Just look at the high-octane cuteness.
That's not all, though - there's seemingly a lot more Berserkishness happening in the pipeline. The Berserk Boy Games social media account recently that they actually have four more "SECRET" Berserk-related announcements left for 2024, after announcing the idle spin-off, of course. What they could be is anyone's guess. Xbox and PlayStation ports for the main game? An ex♔pansion? More spin-offs? I'm happy to see a game as good as Berserk Boy get extra love regardless.
