is this game?
Is the gameplay like Samurai Warrior?

In fact, I have not watched the Berserk anime, or even the novel or manga
I literally don't know anything about this game
All that is known is that this game has one of the best novels in the world

i've buy the game
But is the game worth my time?

Yep it's like Samurai Warriors, it's actually a bit more refined than most Musou games simply due to it being a bit more modern. My favourite modern musou game is One Piece Pirate Warriors 4, it looks great and is fun, and 3 as well but it does feel a bit dated. Samurai Warriors / Dynasty Warriors / Warriors Orochi have some good games but I definitely feel the age of them, most don't even let you lock onto targets.

This game feels newer than OPPW3 but more dated than OPPW4. The only thing that bothers me is the lack of FOV adjustment, but that's coming from playing other musou games with FOV mods to pull the camera back a fair amount haha.

I've barely touched the game atm so take this with a grain of salt, but I feel it doesn't present the story that well. The broad strokes are there but lots of details and character development is glossed over or omitted. You'd expect exactly that, it's not a negative of the game, but as you've not read the manga or watched the anime then keep this in mind.

I'd recommend reading the manga, it's amazing, specially if you stick with it - but it's very gritty and dark. Deffo R-rated, but not just for the sake of it, it paints a world very well and depicts real struggles of the characters. IMO this game will be more fun with some of this knowledge, but it isn't required and it'll still be fun if you enjoy musou-style games.

For a TLDR - mild spoilers ahead:
Basically the Band of the Hawk are a troupe of mercenaries gathered together by Griffith, whom the band are named after, who won people over with his charisma and lofty ambitions. They grew to aspire towards a vision lead by Griffith, that brought them closer to eachother - and they almost caught lightning, they were a formidable force on the way up. Things went very south for Griffith due to politics and love interests, but he was rescued from a life of torture by his band - and then betrayed them on the escape. He basically sacrificed them, sought to use them as a stepping stone to attain something greater. He plunged them into a hell for his own gain, and set Gutts on a path of anguish and revenge.
