Is this worth it?
Or is it like a cashgrab profiting on the manga?

If it is worth it, what is the best difficulty to play it on? I want to feel like Guts.

Totally worth it for 23.99 rather paying 59.99

Given that the game goes on sale VERY VERY rarely, it's best to grab it now while you can.

So far I enjoy it, but I agree with others. Get it on sale while you can.

It is not very engaging. Its cool for the first 20 minutes and then its the same thing over and over again.

It's really nice to play it a little (1-2 hours) here and there. However, if you want to play it through in one go or within a few days, it may seem repetitive, like any Warriors game in the series.

the game sucks. they should have remade the ps2 and dreamcast versions, instead of creating this garbage.

Dreamcast version sucks. Fight me. (PS2 game is fine)

Looks like you took the plunge, is it worth it would you say? Been on the fence with this one for ages but not sure I can bring myself to buy it, even on sale. Love berserk and love DW style games but the gameplay here seems very flat and unimpactful.

I, myself, enjoyed going through it reliving the story moments and rejogging my memory of reading the manga. I enjoyed having to play different characters and seeing how differently they're animated. I feel like the animations are loyal to the source material especially how Guts swings his sword. Many of the animations I recall him swinging it and using techniques that he used in the manga and I very much appreciate it. The gameplay is pretty okay, it has some good feeling/satisfying moments though I don't know if it feels lackluster compared to the actual Dynasty Warriors series since I never played them (Only ones I've played were Hyrule Warriors, Fire Emblem Warriors and obviously Berserk and I enjoyed my time with them all. Never did I outright hated or disliked them). There is a drastic difference in difficulty between Hard and Berserk difficulties. I can't play Berserk difficulty without dying in like the first 5 seconds, while Hard mode feels like I'm playing on Easy, in comparison or even in general.

Overall, I liked my time with it and will continue to keep playing it but I wouldn't recommend spending full price on it. Definitely on sale, if you're a big fan of Berserk.

Worth on a massive discount,
i think i like the PS2 game more, and even that isn't the best,
but I'd say it's better than this imo.
You can download it with ENG translation these days.

I've been asking myself the same thing with one difference is it worth getting it again. I went through all of the musou story mode on PS4 when it came out(2016) and 1 other time but never finished the extra mode. Now being on sale and eyeing iot over time I can't decide if it will be worth it to me to go through again...& destroy the xtra mode :) Want a good musou game and not many on steam that I haevn't played. Wish this would get some DLC characters.

Yeah i had it on PS4 & regretfully sold it (now worth some $),
but the PC port is seriously trash. It runs bad, i remember dated menus popping up before launch, something about compatibility, no PS button inputs, idk, it wasn't for me.
I'd say if you wanted a decent Musou, you could emulate some Gundam ones
or better yet, Hyrule Warriors 1 or 2.
