Berserk is the latest Koei/Tecmo game that can be described as "like dynasty warriors but". If you are not familiar with the Dynasty Warriors games, they can best be described as modern 3d takes on classic 2d, side scrolling, "beat em' ups" like Final Fight. They do have more depth and strategy than the 2D games they were inspired by but at the end of the day there is more button mashing than brain power needed to beat these titles. This Berserk game is tied to the most recent Berserk Anime although there are nods to the classic Manga and Anime here and there throughout the game. The game is fun and is more story driven than many DW style games. That can be both good and bad since focusing on the story gives the game a little more depth than similar titles but it also means limiting the playable characters available in both the story mode and the side modes. If you are a fan of the newer Berserk animes and enjoy a good beat 'em up the you will likely get your monies worth out of the game. Otherwise, there are better DW style games to play.
