Furious or mold to make your keyboard slap master control scheme

Vampire Survivor Studio Poncle is about to enter the game to publish, and its first such game is Furious or Death. Nao Shibata, a solo developer from Japan, made the game under the name of Nao Games, who revealed that the project – an action game with a unique control scheme – has now emerged.

As revealed in the PC game show, Berserk or Die uses keyboard and mouse as controllers, but not in the traditional sense. Players will strike the left and right sides of the keyboard in order to move and attack in this direction – the attack power depends on how many keys are pressed for each slap – while shaking the mouse will activate the player's character's special abilities. Accessibility options, including controller-based control schemes, will also be provided.

When not participating in the battle, players will shop among night vendors to heal and recover magic, and they can also visit the training grounds to learn new abilities for the next battle. Berserk or Die will feature NAO games and music from vampire survivor Filippo Vicarelli.

Berserk or Die is Poncle’s first release game that entered the gaming world in 2023 with Roguelike Action Game Vampire survivors. The studio said the Carnival or Die is “the first of more projects from Poncle this year as the studio takes the first step in the publishing world.”

Now available for revelry or death on PC.
