Berzerk Studio Announces Maximum Thunderness, a Co‑op Roguelike Shoot‑Em‑Up for PC

A playable Steam demo lets players test three‑player co‑op runs and the Alien Space Rocks meta‑progression ahead of a planned 2026 PC release.

Overview

  • Berzerk Studio revealed Maximum Thunderness with a trailer and Steam page showing a side‑scrolling, run‑based shooter focused on fast, chaotic combat.
  • The game supports online or local cooperative play for up to three players who fight an invading alien force called S. K.U. L.L.
  • Runs take place on a branching 2D map where route choices grant stage‑specific buffs but death resets run progress in keeping with roguelike rules.
  • Players earn a persistent meta‑currency called Alien Space Rocks after missions that can be spent to unlock characters, skills, trinkets, meals, and stat upgrades.
  • A demo is available now on Steam so players can test mechanics and tone before the full PC launch planned for 2026.
