BERSERK and the Band of the Hawk (ベルセルク無双, Berserk Musou) is a Warriors collaboration with the Japanese comic series Berserk. The game will cover the Black Swordsman, Golden Age, the Conviction, and the Falcon of the Millennium Empire arcs of the story. It was first unveiled to the public at E3 2016.

Hisashi Koinuma is the producer and directors of the game, focusing on animated material and action segments. They aim to appeal to action game fans worldwide, despite erotic content potentially hampering overseas localization. The game's Japanese slogan is "The most sinister in Warriors history."

Buy the game new to receive a downloadable serial code for Casca. Reserve the title from Gamecity Shopping to receive a serial code for a Schierke pirate outfit. Other store outlets offer different costume serial codes.

Japanese is the only voice option for all international releases.

Gameplay[]

Players can view maps, faction positions, and adjust their character's strength, defense, and skill parameters before each stage. Horses can be assigned before battle. Behelits unlock key visuals within the Gallery. Players control one character in battle, using the Warriors' charge attack system. Character attributes increase with levels, and they can use the "Step" action to evade attacks and offset combo strings. Each character can use unique sub-weapons.

When an enemy attacks, press L1 the instant before the hit connects to perform a "Just Guard". If successful, the enemy will be momentarily stunned and open to a counterattack.

Frenzy Mode is a feature in the game that allows characters to increase their attack power and damage reduction. It is activated when a character's Frenzy gauge is filled, and it can be activated by collecting Lost Souls from defeated enemies. The maximum Frenzy gauge level is five. After completing certain story arcs, characters can transform into alternate forms using a new moveset and sub-weapon, with varying secondary effects.

Other traits for this game include:

  • L2 whistles for the player's assigned horse. Press and hold L2 to have the character automatically call and mount their steed. X is still used for the standard mount and dismount. Horses have three parameters: Charge (damage to enemies while sprinting), Durability, and Speed.
  • Players can collect stones from fallen enemies to enhance their accessories. Rarer stones drop in the higher levels of Eclipse Mode.
  • One-on-one boss fights are in the game.
  • BERSERK is the hardest difficulty level.
  • Blood explosions accompanies the violence, as well as enemy dismemberment. The Japanese version does not contain human dismemberment, while the western versions do.
  • Visuals from the 2012 movies and 2016 TV series are used in the game. Voice actors from both works reprise their roles in the game.

Modes[]

Story Mode[]

The story is a six-chapter re-telling of the manga, focusing on Guts's journey from wandering mercenary to Black Swordsman. Clear Story Mode unlocks characters and Guts's potential, breaking floor limits and changing menu backgrounds.

Free Mode[]

Free mode is identical to other Warriors titles. Players can choose any character that has been previously unlocked in the story mode, and can select any stage regardless of whether the selected character actually appears in it.

Endless Eclipse Mode[]

Players select missions from specific characters, with some unique to each character. Each floor has enemies and random objectives. To unlock Wyald, players must complete 30% of the mode. There are 100 floors, with escape points and character-specific accessories. Players can collect Behelits and unlock Griffith's transformation into Femto by defeating the hundredth floor.
