Berserker is the new 2D fighting game made by Michal Marcinkowski and the Transhuman Design. It is set in an abandoned prison filled with mentally retarded psychopaths. Their only purpose is to kill… hmm yeah that’s it. But doing so will require skills in fighting and cleverness in using various map objects such as bricks and doors.
I made a video because the basic fighting with bots is ready, so the game is playable! This is an early version so don’t bitch if you find any bugs and glitches in the video. There’s still a lot to be done, nevertheless I see that the game will make an impact. It will kick your ass. Watch for yourself (the hand thing is the mouse cursor).

Yeah, it’s working and its funny! XD
*no further comments at the present moment*
Siggy rocks. Looks awesome so far.
fucking awesome
I am awesome.
FUCKING RELEASE IT! idc if its buggy, i dont want to kill myself in the heat of the moment.
Sigvatr Says: I am awesome.
I fucking second that statement.
Damn.
Eh… Looks okay but I want MORE! Good job and keep working bitches! ;]
not enough blood
wtf needs more blood”
Wow! the combat looks very smooths and intense.
Oh yea. At 0:09 – 0:10, does the guys climb a ladder? Can’t notice because of the AMAZING lighting effects.
AUhAUHAUHaHUauh Sigvatr’s screaming job was awesome!
I like it!
let the blood conquer my spirit!
OMG!!!!! I can’t wait!!!!
WTF?! is that it? I thought this was going to be good….
GREAT job on the screaming, really gives the vibe to the game. I cant wait to see door/physics object related gameplay !
Could you give some information about the control… It seems you use the left mouse click for punching… Is it right click for kicking ? Is there other moves ? Will the palyer be able to dock , jump…
it looked like the mouse height controlled wether it was a kick or punch. i love the aiming with the mouse… i saw a couple of forhead jabs in there that was fuckign sweet.
the voices really came out well sig.
WOOT I WANT A DEMO!
The preview could be better, but the screaming job, man, awesome, good job sivgtar =]
ops, sorry,
*Sigvatr
I saw the screaming video, it was NICE
And I liked how you had it ingame, this looks like a great game =D
I’ll download the demo as soon as it’s out, hopefully there won’t be problems registering, I can’t register Soldat for some reason.. wierd issue with my computer =(
Btw, VERY comedial. I laughed through the WHOLE thing. All you hear is some guy screaming at you, and he’s running like a crazy drunk. I LUB it >:]
Screaming=Crap.
Really, i like the games design, But please for the love of god make the screaming an option, i want to hear the impact of my foot in someones face but not them running around screaming constantly on loop.
Also, Can you jump (Didn’t see the trailer through, It took 10 minutes to load halfway >_>) And it’s pretty good, I like the lighting, Very Good, Keep it up and in the next demo, I want to see someone get bricked 😀
It looks awesome, gj. But when the guy is moving his torso and arms are very still. Also when he is just standing his whole body is like a statue. I think it would be cool to see the guys body moving up and down a little. Also the torso could look more lively. Heres what I mean. In this video of Streetfighter you will see Ryu (the guy in the gray) body still but he looks like he’s alive. His torso will be moving and everything. Watch it from :21.

But otherwise the game looks great keep it up.
I didn’t enjoy that, BECAUSE IT’S LIKE THIS THE WHOLE TIME! THE SCREAMING SHOULD NOT BE PART OF THE GAME! SILENCE IS MORE BRUTAL! OR AT LEAST ELIMINATE THE SPEECH, AND LEAVE IT AT GRUNTS AND GENERIC ROARS OR SOMETHING!
Are they supposed to look like people? If you’ve ever seen Planet Terror, they kinda look like that blob thing that Tarantino turns into near the end. Yeah.
Otherwise, it’s not bad… but I’m not going to join the mindless horde and say its “FUCKING AWESOME”. Soldat is “FUCKING AWESOME”. This can, and probably will be “FUCKING AWESOME”, but now is the time for critique, not “yey i luv veolence”.
I think their heads are a little too big, i find it odd they only use one hand when punching, and their knees bend too much when walking (looks kinda like they have limps).
Then again, after reading “mentally retarded psychopaths” at the beginning, this all sort of fits. Interesting, to say the least.
Glad you like it.
Could you give some information about the control… It seems you use the left mouse click for punching… Is it right click for kicking ?
Yeah that’s how it works now, but I’m tweaking everything now, so I don’t know how it will end up in the end. The animation are also gonna be fixed and all.
hahhahahha, funny one, i’m nervios to get it… there will be more than 2 players, right?
This is looking cool. What song is that?
awesty, at the feet of the giant, youll find twelve mice. twelve mice for twelve dice. roll the dice and a taught toadstool will apear. answer the riddle of fairies bluff in 3 shakes of a lambs tale and youll find your answer.

STFU, the VOs are done brilliantly and give the characters emotion, which is one of the most important aspects of a game based on a bunch of loonies. Also, Siggy completely fucked his throat up to do all of those VOs, and they sound awesome.
I agree with the guy who said that there isn’t enough blood, MM I urge you to make an option for the amounts of blood, and ofcourse I want to be able to rip off limbs from one guy and use them as a weapon.
omg looks nice
i wanna see linkdead 😀 but, michal, when are we going to see some heavies in action or atleast some rifles? weapons?
When I first red about berserker, and its “features”, I didn’t think that the result could be fun. After seeing this demo, I am sure that i was wrong. Good work!
teh_ham: “Siggy completely fucked his throat up to do all of those VOs”
I don’t really care if he fucked his throat up, because Sigvatr himself is fucked up. If you’ve seen some of his “work” (http://www.electricretard.com) then you’ll know what I’m talking about.
Now i mean as little disrespect as possible when i say hes fucked up… but hes still fucked up none the less. Come to think of it, we’re all fucked up. We’re waiting for game where we can rape each other.
And because it hasn’t been asked yet: “Am there be Vehikles?”
For fucks sake! Hello Kitty is more voilent than that! That’s lame! I am fucking disappointed.
Sorry, but it isn’t very impressive..
Jeez you people are crazy. All I want is to make a nice game that a family can play together and you’re all “I want to fight with a limb”, I wanna rape dead bodies”, “I want eating incestines”. Shit I’ll do it you sick bastards!
Michal you underestimated some people there’s more psycopat on your blog then you think 😀
I jut want this friggin game. Will there be stationary gaurds and you can friggin beat them and jack their guns?
The voices are hilarious, but I think this will only add to the game. You’ll have more fun dying if you here a silly mess of expletives from you attacker, and it’ll be much more satisfactory when the character also revels in the victory.
Oh man, I love you guys.
So, to what degree will it matter which part of the enemy you hit?
Like, can you make them drop their weapon by hitting the hands, or take out their legs, etc.?
“awesty, at the feet of the giant, youll find twelve mice. twelve mice for twelve dice. roll the dice and a taught toadstool will apear. answer the riddle of fairies bluff in 3 shakes of a lambs tale and youll find your answer.”
uh… can you just tell me what it is called?
YES!!! AWESOME!!!
Err…awesty…
He named the song, right below the video. Would it have killed you to look at his post for an extra 15 seconds?
lolololol
“Blah blah blah If you’ve seen some of his “work” (http://www.electricretard.com) then you’ll know what I’m talking about.”
That site’s so funny. Really I haven’t laughed so hard for years.
michal got my email??? send sumtin back or just react to this comment
Haha, G.O.D. needs attention.
nah , its abut some concept art, i wanted to join transhuman
teh_ham: “That site’s so funny. Really I haven’t laughed so hard for years.”
To each his own, teh_ham. I found it racist and sick, personally.
what about making some silent evil noises aswell, apart from screaming there should be some quiet parts of the game where you can hear whispering or insane giggling somewhere far away. Think about it… someone giggling at the far end of a pitch-black room and incoming at a really fast speed. Or maybe sounds of breathing with your open spitty mouth- try doing the sound right now 8).
what about making torso leaps- when you run, you could gain speed and when you see a rapable person, you plunge at him knocking him down with yourself.
“To each his own, teh_ham. I found it racist and sick, personally.”
Fair enough, I bet you can’t wait for real-time rape in Berserker then eh?
@vig: Dude that’s sweet. Make it more scary and realistic. And friggin trucking people into walls and break their back so they can’t move so it’s kinda sorta like Gears of War.
Will there be any destructible things? Besides people…
Hahaha That shit was psychotically funny, and those dudes look like there from hills have eyes 2… anyway i rekon you should make some enemies let out a dopie little scream before they attack you. If i had a microphone i could give you some psychotic sounds. Because im a psych myself.
Yeah, what Krack said. The question is not newu, but I cant recall an answer… will we be able to destroy stuff and/or walls? What about the terrain?
Heh, looks nice but not brutal enough. Srsly MM and Sig, make it GIBALICIOUS. Make the blood splatter effects so dramatically over loaded and detailed that people wouldnt sleep at nights after a game of this.
And make sure you add the HUGE MEATHAMMER so we could have even more satisfactory violence. Good luck on both projects also.
sorry to say this but i do absolutely not like it :/
(i know i should just not write here then)
i guess link-dead will be much more fun since you got nice tactics, waepons and stuff.
the grpahics look impressive yet, so do animations.
good luck on your further progress transhuman team

That’s already being done. The music will be more of ambient textures than full on music. I’m making the music out of Sigvatr’s screams and other subliminal spoken messages. I’m processing them really heavily and they will be more subliminal than obvious. It won;t sound like a bunch or voices, but if you listen closely then you can hear them here and there.
Whether or not Michal or Sigvatr want the Full on screams to be optional is up to them. I just create the audio and music. But being an audio freak I’m all for more options and think it would be cool to allow them to be turned off if the player doesn’t want them.

Is it me, or can I see the soldiers’ mouths moving too?

i was thinking the same exact thing.
Hope the hand-to-hand gets a bit more complex later on. Plain brainless beating isn’t enough, this needs some grappling and limb breaking and ripping. After all, when better to piss on your opponent than when he’s all broken up and half-dead?
@teh_ham + commenter: Eh… I dun think they are though their body structures sound quiet amazing. Hm… We can only wait to know more. I’m sure the Animation Editor/Character Maker will have everything. Let’s just wait for another tech demo.
I’M GONNA FUCK YOUR ASS!
I HATE YOU.
MY TEA IS TOO HOT!
I’M GONNA FUCKIN KILL YOUUUUUUU!
I HATE YOUUUUU! -kicks the corpse of a guy-
LMAO I WANT THIS GAMEEEE!
Oh my god!!!!! very very cool!!
hope to see more kind of moves and stuff!
keep up the good work!
IM GONNA RIP YOUR DICK OFF
IM GONNA FUCKING RAPE YOU
ow noess i just ripped ur dick off
Looks ok, this is the first video and all. I know you have lot of work to do..
But I kind of wish this was Soldat 2 =(
I hope this game is freaky. BTW can you make it so blood builds up on the ground, so you can fill whole rooms with blood. Also you should have some bumpmap on those walls, it would make this game look so realistic.
It doesn’t look that bad but I don’t really like it. I hope link-dead will be better than this because as of now, I don’t like the look much. Those guys just look like dolls.
Is this a flash animation?
this is going to be so fucking awesome!
I think this preview sums up the basic gameplay perfectly and I think it’s awesome. Release this thing as soon as you possibly can, it looks fucking amazing, also, IM GONNA FUCK YOUR ASS
Such uselessly rebellious waste of talent that could do so much more. Really disappointed.
