A variation of those, or additional super moves you can perform rather than just one each character is given, would add that little extra touch I was hoping for. Yes, there are different characters to play as, but there are only a handful of combos you can perform. Endless Eclipse and Free Mode will keep you coming back, again, if you're a fan.However, there are quite a few negatives that even as a massive fan, I can't ignore. As far as gameplay, there are several different characters to pick from, and they all play differently, adding that bit of replay value to the levels and modes.

The extra outfits are accurate with the arcs, and you can change back and forth freely which is a neat little bonus. The original story of the manga is told pretty well, better than the new animes from 20. These are basically short dialogue sequences of some of the characters talking to each other, some scenarios that weren't explored in the manga, and they help immerse you further in the world. In addition to the cutscenes, there are "Events". The cutscenes from the movie help visualize and get across some of the more important scenes the game engine just can't handle. If you're a new fan of the franchise and wanted to get into the world of Berserk, this is a decent choice. Running around as Guts and scoring hundreds of kills will be enjoyable, despite the flaws which are definitely there. Just make sure you get a controller before you play it, or buy a console version if you have a console.Now to the meat of the game - Berserk and the Band of the Hawk is a decent game. If you're not down to read the whole thing I'm about to write, I'll summarize: This game will keep you engaged if you're a fan of Berserk.If you're not down to read the whole thing I'm about to write, I'll summarize: This game will keep you engaged if you're a fan of Berserk.
