Berzerk: Recharged Receives November Release Date
Atari has put an official release date on Berzerk: Recharged, as we'll see the game released for PC and consoles in early November.
This morning, Atari revealed the official release date for Berzerk: Recharged, as the modern-day version of the classic game will be coming in early November. In case you haven't seen this yet, the game takes the classic top-down arcade shooter and has given it a new life with modern graphics, mechanics, and challenges. Harkening back to the past while presenting a massive challenge for those who dare take on Evil Otto. We now know the game will be released for PC and consoles on November 7, and with the news comes a new trailer, which we have for you here.
In Berzerk: Recharged, players will fight through a deadly maze filled with menacing, vocal robots that have one thing on their processor-driven minds: your doom. Fans remember the original Berzerk as one of the first arcade games to use speech synthesis and Berzerk: Recharged keeps the dialog going. The robots chasing you have a sinister, snarky monologue running through their OS, so you will have to endure "kill the humanoid" and the taunting barb, "Chicken, fight like a robot!" as you fight to survive.
- Challenge Accepted: Survive an endless maze of random rooms that get progressively harder the further you get. As intensity ramps up, the increasing difficulty is reflected in the robots' changing color schemes.
- A-Maze-Ing Levels to Tackle: Shoot through 20 hand-crafted mazes that deliver unique gameplay challenges, each with different layouts to test your mettle.
- Pumped Power-Ups: Pick up weapon modifiers, including a spread-shot, big shot, or a series-staple railgun. There are also player modifiers for speeding up, shield, and placeable mines to use against your rude and relentless enemies!
- Co-Op and Leaderboards: Like previous Recharged iterations, players can recruit a trusty player two to double the firepower and aid in the onslaught if things get too dicey. Then, track your progress on the public leaderboard!
