Some characters can also transform in Frenzy Mode for more powerful attacks.Ī lock-on feature automatically activates when you fight against bigger enemies which is helpful when you want to unleash charged attacks or a Death Blow for instance. While you fight in Frenzy Mode, the Death Blow Gauge fills up and once it is full you can unleash a powerful Death Blow. Depending on the character, attacks become more powerful or movement speed is increased until the gauge is empty again. When attacking enemies or you are being attacked, the Frenzy Gauge fills up and once the gauge is full you can activate the Frenzy Mode. Only in later scenarios, new sub-weapons with stronger damage become available. Each heroe also has sub-weapons like knives or arrows but generally these weapons deal less damage like the basic attacks. Combos are also available and while you level-up, new combos will be unlocked. The battle gameplay is in Musou style which basically means that you mainly use normal or charge attacks to fight against the hordes of enemies. When you fulfil certain mission conditions you also can acquire a Behelit which unlocks a piece of a picture panel. Scenarios also have sub-missions which appear at various times during battles and successfully completing them allows you to progress more easily.

The story is told in scenarios where you have to battle against different enemies depending on the setting.

This means that the main focus of the Story Mode lies on Guts which isn’t a bad thing as he is one of the more appealing characters.

In the Story Mode, you mainly play as Guts, the Black Swordsman, and while you progress, you unlock new characters, but these can only be used in a few scenarios of the Story Mode or in Free or Endless Eclipse Mode. Berserk and the Band of the Hawk is based on the popular anime Berserk and tells the story of the legendary mercenary group with Dynasty Warriors Musou gameplay style. And although it’s not perfect, it’s quite entertaining on the PS Vita, but more on that a little bit later.
