Berserk and the Band of the Hawk is an interesting title to satisfy the fans from the manga and to give the chance to crush enemies using Guts and the rest of the characters from the series. However the game rooster it’s quite short with only 8 characters to select besides having characters which could be interesting to be playable like Isidro or Farnese.

During epic battles Berserk fits musou genre nicely, but when Guts’ story gets at odds with game mechanics, things take a turn for the worse. [Issue#219, p.72]

Even if you're a Warriors fan who knows not to expect a Dark Souls level of gratifying melee combat, Band of the Hawk still deprives you of the juicy sights and sounds that one associates with Guts' savagery; the splashes of red that result from every kill hardly counts as "gore".

Berserk has its moments – the Berserker Armor is absolutely hilarious, and getting to play as Zodd is awesome – but a few glimmers of amusement aren't enough to save it. The game doesn't have a lot to offer anybody – newcomers to the series will be left in the dust, long-time fans will be turned off by the clumsy adaptation, and anyone looking for a decent action game should grab a copy of Nioh instead. It's likely this will end up as just another forgotten footnote in the series' troubled history of adaptations.

When the best parts of a game are the parts that aren't the game, something is wrong. [Issue#260, p.64]
