Any word on length/amount of content?

I love the Warriors games but I tend not to spend much time purposefully grinding characters to max strength--same with items (unless certain ones are super useful).

So, short of that, how much is there to do in this game? Will it last a while?

Story mode took me 19 hours i think. There are lots of cutscenes/movies and events and on my playthrough i didnt skip much of it. So yeah i guess 15 ~20 hours on story mode alone depending on how you play. Then there are 2 extra modes, Free mode where you use different characters on story missions and endless eclipse mode.

Do higher difficulties that require geared characters count as content then or not?

+1 for OP's question, I'm also curious.

If those give extra stuff, then kinda if they are good enough.

The story has some length from all the talking and a good number of missions. I clocked at 17ish hours for the story on normal alone. But past that there isn't much to speak of. Endless mode isn't all that great and mainly a grind for unlocks that isn't going to give a challenge till level 60+ when you finally get proper bosses.

The only other Warriors game I played was Hyrule and compared to that. BERSERK has next to nothing in content. Limited people to play as, no alt weapons, only real length is the story padded by endless talking, overall not hard at all outside of large bosses who are more cheap than anything, and not much to do.

Mainly for fans of the story. Gameplay lacks in my opinion.

It's pretty long, though the ending is pretty sudden. If you're familiar with the arcs in the manga, it goes until partway through the Falcon of the Millenium arc, specifically when they get on the ship going to Elfhelm.

It's long. When the first arc ends, anime cinematics ends too. Game gets little faster after the end of 120 minutes long cinematics. I loved how they handled the story.

It's literally one of the longest Musou game story wise, the game focus primary on the single main protagonist (Guts) and is divided to arc just like the manga/anime. It being a Musou game by nature means you can grind the crap out of it if you want but there is no real purpose other than levelling up and collecting loots which makes the game easier on subsequent playthrough.

To note the first manga volume of Berserk was published in 1990 and is still ongoing with the two anime series, the second anime series has just begun last year. So yeah, it's rather darn long.

Game contains the fight against the pirates/sea monsters and the mermaids' appearance, or ends before that?

Also, does it begin from start, when Guts was a child?

Starts with Guts working for Chuder and the fight leading to Bazuso. How the first anime started more or less but the game has a dream like teaser of Guts in hell just before that. The ending is when they just get on the ship

The worst part of the ending is that no one picked up the apples.

I am 36 hours in, still not beat it. Just took down Slan.

Do you have stuff to do once you beat the story?

Standard art to collect by doing missions within a time limit for some story parts. Earning more art in the endless mode. And unlocking costumes and 1 playable from overall completing the game to 100%.

Not much to speak of if you ask me.
