Berzerk: Recharged

Berzerk: Recharged is a reimagining of the 1980 arcade classic, where players fight through a dystopian maze against waves of vocal robots. The central activity is shooting through successive rooms while avoiding the deadly, invincible Evil Otto.

The game includes an original sci-fi synth soundtrack by Megan McDuffee, evoking a space-station shootout and 1980s arcade sounds.
