It can also be considered as the bloodiest game in the series. It must be noted though that Berserk and the Band of the Hawk is definitely the best looking “Musou” game released so far. Because of this, the PS4 was easily able to run the game without any hiccups with the game’s framerate rarely dropping all throughout even during some of the game’s larger battles. Given that the game was also developed for the PS3 and the PS Vita, the visuals of Berserk and the Band of the Hawk aren’t particularly impressive for a title released for the PS4 in 2017 and look understandably dated. This is helped by the large number of cutscenes, some of which are from the anime film series, which not only help tell the game’s story but improve the game’s overall immersion and experience.

Fans of the manga will definitely appreciate how the game presents the events of the included arcs while those new to the franchise will find it easy to pick up and grasp the game’s story and characters. The story arcs the game goes through are three of the longest in the manga series making Berserk and the Band of the Hawk’s story mode one of the longest of the spin-off collaborative “Musou” titles. Berserk and the Band of the Hawk covers the start of the Golden Age arc through to the end of the Falcon of the Millennium Empire arc of the manga which follow the story of how Guts, the game’s and the franchise’s protagonist, came to join the Band of the Hawk and the many events that followed that not only changed his but also the world’s fate. The franchise also produced two anime TV series as well as a series of anime films.

The Black Swordsmanįor the unfamiliar, Berserk is a popular manga series which began in the early ’90s and still runs to this day through the Young Animal magazine in Japan. For the past few years though, the main Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors “Musou” franchises have taken a back seat in the wake of spin-off entries into the series that feature other popular franchises such as Zelda, Mobile Suit Gundam, Fist of the North Star, One Piece, The Heroic Legend of Arslan, and, most recently, Berserk with Berserk and the Band of the Hawk. Ever since Omega Force and Koei Tecmo released Dynasty Warriors in 1997, the first in what eventually became popularly known as the “Musou” series of games, there have been more than 40 titles released under this sub genre.
