UPDATE 130803: New version 1.0 out now, download from developer's website!

The indie action RPG Berserker's Quest VI (the title is a joke; BQ1-5 does not exist) is in a fairly early stage of development and currently has all the hallmarks of a freeware project - such as modest production values (almost no textures), limited gameplay functionality (no save game feature), reused assets (thinly disguised Quake 1 models) and unfortunate immaturity (the player character's tendency to scream nasty things when hurt etc.).

All that being said, there's already a pretty solid action RPG foundation in place here; with obvious inspiration taken from hardcore classics as King's Field (i.e. the spiritual predecessor to Demon's Souls/Dark Souls) as well as newer action/RPG hybrids like Dark Messiah. The realtime combat definitely rewards properly timed attacks and blocks, and apart from melee weapons there's also magical spells and crossbows for long-range combat.

Berserker's Quest's most ambitious feature is probably the co-op feature, which lets a party of friends raid the beta version's two large dungeons together and fight co-operatively in the newly added arena. As one might expect from such a small project, there's no in-game server browser or anything so multiplayer requires a bit of coordination and IP address configuration Minecraft-style. I haven't been able to check the online gameplay out myself, but the co-op trailers over at the developer's YouTube channel make it look pretty cool....
