Pretty much what
flyingjohn said... I bought it because both me and my oldest circle of friends loved the Manga when it was regularly published ('90 ---> early '00) so basically I caved in just to be able to say
look what I've got here...
The port is abysmal, no mouse support, low framerate on high end machines, totally unrelated to graphic settings. Set Environment to low in order to fix it, you can probably max everything else on a toaster. Methinks that's simply a bug...
The story, as far as I've been able to play it, is quite complete. You start as Guts after he's forced to leave Gambino's band, then are forced to fight the band of the Hawk after your payment, in an actual mission. After that it's rear-guard duty, again following each major battle in the manga up to this point... There's lot of anime cutscenes, lesser storytelling is either done through 3d models or talking heads.
Difficulty is insultingly low, at least on hard. Still haven't tried Berserk difficulty but I've got little hopes.
Documentation is shit. I'd love if someone could explain me how to
unlock additional skill on accessories...
As a musou game (and the last one I played was on PS2, mind you) I find it quite fun, I'm still fighting just humans but the added variety from monsters will probably keep me interested more than other similar titles. Combo-spamming is as popamoleish as it was 15 years ago. It's incredible how little it has changed... X-X-Y for single targets, X-X-X-Y for AoE, just like the older DW on PS1-2
Buy when under heavy discount, or at least wait for a couple patches.
