It’s a pleasant addition, but it doesn’t quite jive with this game for visuals. Throughout the story you’ll also get a taste of that horrible CG that the animated series is known for, thanks to the inclusion of almost two hours' worth to intersperse between cutscenes. Although it curiously cuts off right at the departure, which seemed like a weird place to end the story, but it makes sense if the anime series continues, to give the game a potential for a sequel. So there’s plenty of story to cover, from how Guts wound up with the Band of the Hawk, to Griffith’s return, to the departure for Elfhelm. If you’ve been following along with the manga, Band of the Hawk takes place over The Golden Age, The Black Swordsman, Conviction, and The Hawk of the Millennium Empire story arcs. ![]() There was the Japan-only PS2 release, and the other game that players might be more familiar with, Sword of the Berserk: Guts’ Rage, which was released on the Sega Dreamcast (and chronologically, takes place after Band of the Hawk). It’s been a minute since we’ve been dropped into the shoes of Guts. Once again aping the Dynasty Warriors series of action-adventure titles, we’re dropped into the messed up world of Guts, and his story that follows the movies from 2012, along with the anime series that aired just last year. ![]() These games have allowed me to step into the role of the cool anime hero, and experience some pretty wild stuff, whether it be using 3D movement gear in Attack on Titan, or feeling totally awesome in their latest game, Berserk: Band of the Hawk. Whether they be something relatively unknown like Arslan, or something huge like Attack on Titan. It’s one of the reasons I appreciate the Koei Tecmo initiative to turn specific anime properties into games. I don’t have much time to watch anime these days.
