Genei Tougi: Shadow Struggle [PS1] - play as Berserker
15This is a play-through using Berserker in the PS1 game Genei Tougi: Shadow Struggle. Read on below for more information...
Berserker is the sub-boss in the game. He is an unlockable playable character.
===== About Bersekrer =====
He is a robot/mech design, looks threatening and makes a good sub-boss. It appears that he is owned by and is the bodyguard of Marry.P, as his ending image suggests at the end.
Being a robot/mech, he has some unorthodox moves which can be confusing. His arms give him good range in his strikes. I think he is the only character in the game with a unique 'walk forward' motion.
===== About GT:SS =====
Genei Tougi: Shadow Struggle is an okay game. Whilst the game graphics is 3D, it plays like a 2D fighter, e.g. Street Fighter style. It even has a SFA2-style Custom Combo feature, which activated, allows you to mash your own combos in. When in this mode, just make sure you don't get your back facing the opponent. ; )
The gameplay is well rounded off, and feels complete. It's sometimes a but clunky though. If you asked me to sum up the gameplay, I would call it a mix of Rival Schools and Street Fighter.
Personally, I like the music in this game... each of the tunes has got a lot of character and they stand out. You just don't get themes like this anymore in fighting games, which is a shame.
