BERSERK and the Band of the Hawk

decent game.. Im playing on Linux so zero of the cutscenes works at all while playing the game...which sucks. But even if it did then the gameplay is too easy and spammy. But I get it, it doesnt have a big budget or maybe the best devs so it is what it is. I still recommend it to hardcore fans if youve already played through the PS2 Berserk game.

im a hawk too

Good game when you're fighting big crowds and going through most of the game. The Boss fights are definitely the worst parts. You will spend more time getting thrown around than fighting the boss itself.

It's a musou. You won't get much in terms of gameplay, but it's still engaging enough to have mindless fun. Definitely an edibles game.

The good part is, if you have trouble sitting down to watch an anime or reading a manga, this is one of the best out there and it's another way of experiencing some of the best themes, stories, characters and plot twists in all of anime.

Get this one on sale, it's worth it if you haven't read Berserk or if like me you simply adore it.

Only sad thing is you won't be seeing the incredible art of Kentaro Miura, but there are some panels unlocks.

GRIFFITH!!!!!

I can't lie, this is a middle-tier musou (what a statement in itself) with all the baggage that comes with it. And even then it disappoints in some aspects, like the mediocre unlockable characters (and where they are even available), overall presentation quality (the Golden Age arc gets the movie cutscenes and even then they are censored at points, rest of the game has in-game dialogue boxes and now and then a CG render), lackluster and poor bossfights and general grinding required are traits that would make me very hesitant to recommend this game.

As a game it's like a C- .
As a Berserk fan-wank and power fantasy? Good lord this one delivers.
So many "oh he did the thing!", multiple setpieces that are just letting you revisit notable chapters, and the absolute peak rampage that is acquiring the Beast of Darkness and just utterly annihilating absolutely everything in your path.

If you are a big to dedicated 'serk fan, you will get some joy out of it, and those are the people I do recommend this game to, on sale if possible. It is a repetitive, very shallow game overall until you try out the endless eclipse gamemode, and the decline in presentation after we reach Conviction arc (plus lack of Lost Children because the world is full of cowards) really hurt the overall experience. Might not be a dealbreaker but it's too hard to not notice.

To everyone else, or people who haven't read the manga, I'm much less enthusiastic to recommend this game. I feel that it does a poor job as a catchup, it's more of a "best of" galore.

If you really don't wanna read a book then just check out the TV Anime series or try out the great Millennium Falcon Holy War game with the fanpatch because that one is a much better game than this one, both mechanically and as a gateway into this amazing series.

Dynasty Warriors, but you play as Guts.

i just like swinging my sword

but in all seriousness this game has a lot of heart and went out of it's way to adding Easter eggs interaction and went past where most would stop (past the golden age) but is held back by the musou style and censorship this is for berserk super fans only, you've read all of berserk from black swordsmen to elf island and beyond everyone else will just be confused or get a bad first interaction.

also wait for a sale read berserk again while you wait

Guts!

you like to kill. this game lets you kill 1000s each mission, the gore is awsome

Где же оно, счастье?

The Dynasty Warriors variety of anime game gotta be my favorite kind. The world does not need more bland arena fighters. Instead, give us a power fantasy. It's certainly not perfect. All of the problems you may have with a Dynasty Warriors style of game certainly still exists. The game lacks a lot of difficulty, even on higher difficulty modes. While you may not necessarily be looking for a game with some bite to it, this one is all gums. It will *always* feel good to rip through armies of enemies, but ultimately, that will only be engaging for so long. The game isn't too long, but it definitely starts to grow stale sooner than you would hope. That being said, if you have an interest in Berserk, or you just want to feel like Guts, this game is absolutely for you. Pick it up on sale.

bewzewk.

Stop reading my reviews for pleasure, Marc. You can't turn those emotions off like a tap. Mrs. Harrison will be furious! Let's have it large!!!

Ahhhh Maisy Moo, I'll kill ya! I'll get ya!

better than the 2016/2017 anime

BERSERK my fav

Screw you, Griffith

GRIIIIIIIFFITHHHHHHH

if you want an old school hack and slash or dynasty warriors type game this is great. especially if you enjoy the berserk series

Fun game just not good berserk game, if you just wanna feel like John Berkenstein its good but lore wise and as berserk content its very meh

i am nuts from berk

Not the most amazing Musou game, but it has its place for mindless fun with the Berserk cast.

I can now recommend following Lyall's Ultrawide mod.

I recommend you use Lyall's Ultrawide/narrower fix for Berserk. This includes Custom Resolution Support, Borderless Mode, FOV Slider, Frame rate cap adjuster, supports Ultrawide and fixes HUD Stretching.

band of the hawk tuah respect button those who know:

Haha blade goes spinyyy and cannon goes BOOM!!!!
very fun game indeed anyway GRIFFITH.

I highly recommend this to Berserk fans. It's really fun. I'm also a fan of Dynasty warriors franchise. It has similar feel to that but they adapted that engine to this game. It is amazing how fluid the story and battles feel.

Dynasty Warriors but Berserk. Thats it, nothing groundbreaking or anything.

What the 2016/2017 anime should have been like

GRIFFIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

best game

bEST aNIME SO BEST GAME

This game reminds me of the 2016-17 Berserk anime, a bigass letdown for fans of this amazing series.

R.I.P Kentaro Miura

An enjoyable game, a must for any fan of berserk.

★★★★☆ 3.8/5

Before I finally started playing this game, I read all 42 volumes of Berserk (over 7,000 pages).

I strongly advise against playing this game if you have a serious interest in the Berserk manga. The game is, of course, full of spoilers, and I want to emphasize that reading the Berserk manga is definitely the better experience.

So, who exactly is this game for? That’s a tough question. It’s best compared to the Dynasty Warriors games but with Berserk’s excellently told story. Personally, I think the game tries to cover too much. It might have been better to develop it up to the “Eclipse Event” but with more depth. You can tell that after the Eclipse Event, too much is rushed, and things are either explained or played out too quickly. Small deviations don’t usually bother me, but I would have appreciated some additional material not found in the manga. Slaughtering thousands of enemies is definitely fun but gets repetitive over time. The bosses, in my opinion, have somewhat imprecise AI and feel more like large lumps of health points rather than challenging foes. Visually, the game is well-designed, but we have to consider that the developers didn’t have much room for creativity since they were working with established manga/anime characters.

To answer the initial question: This game is more suited for hardcore Berserk fans who want to refresh their memory of the story. For anyone interested in Berserk, I strongly recommend the manga instead.

Great game for hack n slash. if you like Dynasty Warriors (old version) this game is right for you. story matches with anime and its a good story-line. there is 3 different modes to choose from all good for achievement hunting. there is changes in difficulty. graphics good, game play flow is nice. controls are simple and easy to use.

This aint it

ok game but they threw so hard with character selection. No farnese, silat, pippin, isidro, skull knight (but they have wyald as a playable character ok)

also kinda falls off hard after golden age, just more dynasty warrriors slop

iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis good

Petah
The horse is here

why it run like poo

Think Dynasty Warriors in the Berserk universe. Plenty of unlockables, lots of fun.

Griffith did nothing wrong. Neither did that other guy.

Ayy it's berserk!

Great game. Had problem with fps but the problem kinda solved it self so im good

7.1

-Nice anime merch, embarrassing game work.

Its really great if you like Berserk.
(Its mostly worth it when buying it on sale)
Either way 10/10 game

Overall its pretty good. John Berserk is the definitely the most fun big angry sword guy ever. If you are looking for the complete story of Berserk however, it does omit a lot of important character moments that can make it feel somewhat incomplete. Overall its fun and I'd recommend it on sale and can be enjoyed by both Berserk and non-Berserk fans.

7.5/10

Love the game the controls are very weird so i recommend just hooking up a controller to play 10/10

I would write a review about the game if I could ACTUALLY PLAY IT. Like seriously this game is much worse in terms of optimisation compared to a Bethesda game and that has to say something. You literally play the game with 5 to 20 fps. Nothing works. You have to be one of these lucky people who can play it without a hitch or smt I guess
