Berserker armor in this game is actually fucking insane, the speed especially is exactly how I imagined it from the manga
GamesYeah absolutely, it can get repetitive but I like the gameplay loop and being able to play as characters like judeau, wyald and serpico makes up for the roster size imo
I love the One Piece: Pirate Warriors games, does it scratch the same itch?
I love the pirate warrior games and I think this one is honestly way better.
Damn I'm sold thank you
Once you've played a Koei-brand Warriors game, you've played most of them.
And they're all amongst the best 'classic hack n slash' style games.
This one is better but with a lower roster count
the gameplay is repetitive but it captures the soul and style of Berserk quite well, and has a lot of stages from the Golden Arc all the way up until they get on the boat, including some iconic boss fights (e.g. Zodd)
Repetitive, but just tune your brain out and its a good time. Grinding up to the Beast of Darkness berserker armour is 100% worth it.
i lost 3 times to Femto on layer 100 before i realized that i can equip healing items
I'm surprised you got so far in the abyss without healing items.
It must have been frustrating as fuck.
Basically there are two reasons for playing it:
a) You love berserk and you'd love to cut through some shit endlessly
b) you love mousou games (Warriors series) and will play 100 hours just to achieve everyrthing
I don't think it disappoints on either count
im kindof both, i dont really like musous but i love berserk so i 100%ed it on steam
This does not make you both, this makes you option A. 🤦
nah? the achieve everything part wasnt apart of option A
But option B specifies achieving everything because you love the type of game, not because of Berserk.
yeah which i dont, i typically dont enjoy musou games but i love berserk so i 100%ed it. so its a bit of A and a bit of B. how is this so hard to understand
I should have been more inclusive but honestly my experience is that people who love the anime or setting of the mousou game will play through the story, do some extra content and then often slowly taper off, since the source material is just not delivering anything native anymore in the other modes.
on the other hand, mousou fans know exactly what they're getting into, they know they're gonna play literally hundreds of levels of the exact same gameplay, having to time manage everything to get out with a good rating. it is very likely to become grating to someone who doesn't expect it.
the after story content of these games usually end up pitting literally anyone against anyone. in berserk you will have to do a roguelike thing, slaying through hundreds of levels of dungeon, killing bosses, sometimes rescuing people who help you, and who it is is randomized.
for example one piece pirate warriors has a board game or something as the additional content map. on that there are a ton of battles, all with the most random team compositions ever. Zelda hyruls warriors has adventure maps that have a lot of unlocks on top.
From my understanding, (only watched Gameplay) its a fun beer and pretzels game for a few hours bit it's not worth full price.
It has a ton of gameplay, there's a LOOOT to do. But this is a mousou (warriors) game, so there's a certain type of game you gotta expect
It’s a good Berserk power fantasy if you don’t take it super seriously. They use a lot of clips from the Golden Age movies for early-midgame cutscenes, and it works well in some cases, and in others I felt they changed the story a little too much. Playing as Guts and feeling the weight and force behind his sword strikes is…..fuckin awesome, for lack of better words, and I really liked the chapter select screens going from the camp setting with all the characters to Guts alone by the fire. Like I mentioned, there are some aspects the game captures perfectly, but others leave a lot to be desired. Dynasty Warriors style brainless hack&slash-button-mash gameplay has never been my favorite, but I was able to sort of turn my brain off to that for some of the story because Berserk does involve massive army battles which Guts does take part in. There are a few chapters where its a little odd to be facing off against endless hordes of enemies where as in the manga, it would have been like a quiet castle setting at night with few guards or something of the like. If you can find it on discount somewhere, go for it, but if any retailer is trying to charge full price for an 8 year old B-list game, tell them to fuck off promptly
Not for 70 dollars. Highway robbery this game is 8 years old and still full price.
Do you like Mushou games? It is Dynasty Warriors with the dismemberment turned up and a Berserk skin.
I played it, it's actually fun
I platinumed the game because of how much fun I had. The gameplay is very tedious and repetitive but if you turn your brain off, it’s just fun. The eclipse game mode is pretty challenging and if you are going for all the trophies that is where you spend most your time.
I'm not a very selective player but boy does it get repetitive and also it feels so empty, get it on sale, I only did because I love Berserk
PC controls were broken and I refunded it. Your mileage may vary, or just use a controller.
It gets REALLY repetitive very fast it honestly felt like a slog to get through the campaign. It's fun in small bursts but not for long play sessions
To me, playing as Guts feels amazing, although most of the other characters don't feel as satisfying to me. Just hard to compare to Dragon Slayer
Yeah it’s fun time but if your not into musho games then chances are you might not like it
I've played through the entire game twice, once on PS Vita and once on PC, and I'd say it's a decently fun time! Don't go into it expecting it to be a masterpiece or anything, but if you don't mind the Warriors style gameplay and just want a fun power fantasy Berserk game, it scratches that itch quite well
try this son
With all the responses, I'll give it a go when it's on sale.
Thanks everyone!
It’s really fun but extremely repetitive and kinda boring at times. If you like dynasty warriors kind of games it’s for you.
Man, I imagine how difficult it would be to put in perspective how scary it would be if a (basically) demon starting swinging around a 500 pound sword at the speed of sound with intent to kill, and this does a pretty good job
How I wish we had this available in Switch u_u cries in console lack of power
this game was ported to the PS Vita, shouldn't the Switch be able to handle Vita games?
It's because this game came out before the Switch was even announced. The Vita "port" was probably its own game.
Edit: I looked up gameplay footage and it does look like the PS4 game toned down a bunch. Great port honestly.
They probably just don't find it necessary to bring it to Switch.
As someone who's played it on the Vita, it actually runs great by Vita standards, I didn't have too many frame drops throughout my playthrough. It kills the battery super fast, especially on my overclocked Vita, but it was just the PS4 version but not as pretty essentially, which made it a great game to have portably because I could just pick it up, play a mission or two, and then move on with my day. I'd recommend giving it a shot if you have one!
I actually own the Steam version!
If you’re worried about lack of console power but want this on the switch you’re nuts from nerserk
indeed
What game is this? I have a need to play.
The game name is
BERSERK and the band of the hawk
Its avaible on ps4 and psvita
Yes, its a musou game with berserk Pretty funny, you can play various characters when doing a tower mode
Also on pc
Is it berserk musou?
yes
I actually have this game but i havent unlocked the berserker armor. It looks sick. I really like the part where Berk looks at the camera, smiles, and says “its musou time”
Berserk and the Band of the Hawk for PS4 as it is called in the Western countries
It's also on PC via Steam...
it's also on steam
https://store.steampowered.com/app/502280/BERSERK_and_the_Band_of_the_Hawk/
came here to ask this
i had the same reaction when i first fought Grunbeld in the story mode, i love the attack where he does like 20 front flips in a row before landing.
Absolutely, especially how Guts basically turns feral in the armor.
What is this game, looks insane
Berserk musou
Just looked on the PS store bc I’m currently reading berserk for the first time and would love a good game dedicated to it (I’ve played all the souls but I want berserk) but god damn. 60 dollars for a game this old is absurd. Kicking myself in the ass for getting a digital only ps5 can prob get a used copy for 20 bucks
It literally never goes on sale too. The creators clearly know that berserk games are essentially non existent.
Disc versions aren't exactly cheap though from what I've seen so you aren't missing out on much. If you are willing to buy it at like 10-20% off then do it because that's the most it'll ever go on sale I imagine.
Getting a used copy is no different from piracy, because none of your money is going to the developers, you might as well download a copy for free from the internet.
Yeah it was amazing.
What game is this.....and why i didn't know anything about it?
Berserk Musou.
It's a very repetitive game but I really like it.
So I need to keep playing the game at least until I unlock this. Got it.
But can you play as Griffith?
Yes.
Not only Griffith but Femto too.
Yes! This game has the best depiction of the Berserker armor in motion. The in-engine cutscene fight against Grunbeld is amazing.
I’ve been waiting to get this game, when I finally have disposable money I want a physical copy so I can start collecting my games for a game wall
honestly the story mode in this game is a crime, but the endless eclipse and free mode are fun! I had the most fun with the game after I beat the story and started grinding the eclipse and behelits. the golden age part of the story is pretty cool, but everything after is really boring imo. I hope one day this game will get a sequel so they can actually expand it with more characters and battles, but I know that's just wishful thinking on my part :(
It’s literally that one piece game but Berserk did the devs just like replace models and call it a day?
It’s a Muso game. They are all the same game, just with different IP’s
I may be stupid but what game is this ??
Dynasty Warriors musou mode
It's giving devil may cry vibes
I could totally understand how moving this way would rip apart the user’s muscles and bones
Been waiting for years to see this be like $5 on Steam. I hate Dynasty Warriors games.
Why?:( You should try the Samurai Warrior games!
I dont like how repetitive they are. It's mind numbing and not challenging whatsoever. Just mash a button and build up a super to mash the button and watch a number go up. To sell it for $60 is crazy.
It can get pretty challenging at times. Depends on the difficulty. I got smashed by Lu Bu on normal difficulty in DW 8. The games are more about how many side objectives you can do in battle. And how much score you can rank during a specific time, at the same time you're upgrading your character by unlocking new moves, and becoming stronger.
I know it's not for everyone. But the fans of this series are some of the nicest people I've ever met.
This game is so good. I got it on sale and my roommate and I just powered through it and then went into the eclipse. There's a bunch of extra stuff. Zodd feels incredible to play and it's totally worth picking up on sale. Don't pay full price for it.
God, I spent hours on this game when it first came out. Hell it felt like it took me forever to unlock the Beast of Darkness.
Yeah it is a lot of fun in that game
I have this on a PS Vita and is my only game in that system. I love everything Berserk even the 2016 animated series.
I'll get this on PC when I build a gaming PC.
Where's the dude who's making the game?
The berserker armor is the best thing about this game.
Thought this was Dynasty warriors for a split second
When more chapters release I hope this game updates, I'd love to fight the sea god
this is an awesome game for fans of berserk and dynasty warriors style gameplay.
It's kind of like watching the doom guy get the berserk power up.
Is this just dynasty warriors?
I've never been a fan of musou games, but it is fun to play around with all the characters and their movesets
Man this post might have me grab that game are there convos or is it more dynasty warriors?
Title? Looks rad
Wowwwwww
I love this game. If you like FOTNS then Ken’s Rage 2 is a fucking blast also.
The PS2 game is way cooler imo
this was so sick
I think the PS2 game got it right down too but you barely get to use it and it only had a release in JP I think
I swear this game has never once been on sale, it always seems to be the full price to buy.
You know what? Im just gonna say it, Guts should be in the next soul calibur game.
What is the name of the game?
What game is this?? It's look fun
I was disappointed because I'm not into dynasty warriors type gameplay
your loss
Probably especially because it's on my fav portable console the vita
this game was rly fun, def the least worthy adaptation but as a hack and slash for anyone with Berserk brainrot, it's fun!
Honestly best berserk game. I really enjoyed the heck out of it.
It's actually the speed that makes the game feel bad to me imo. You don't really feel the insane weight of the dragonslayer. The PS2 game does this very well until you upgrade the speed and it starts to feel weightless again. Game feel is important.
The weight should cease to be when in Berserker armor.
I have a drugged theory xd but hey what if Skull Knight is guts from another universe Knight and he fought with the hand of God and he escaped from Hay and traveled to a dimension like his to help Guts. It's strange. I think it contradicts everything. Do you know what you guys think?
Not in that dimension did Guts escape somehow or did he steal pieces of armor from his former friends and with a very strange material from the eclipse he made the sword and escaped?
I don't think he becomes that fast, maybe kinda slower than this
Okay since someone downvoted me, I have some showcase of what actual Berserker speed would look like instead of this super sayian thing
Santa Monica should do a Berserk game
I wanna like this but I find musou games very boring
Does this game go on sale at all?
Yeah but the game is shite 😕

Why?
Would you say this is worth playing? I've been interested in playing this, but not a fan of the small roster.
