I was expecting way worse for the first Berserk game, but honestly this ended up being pretty solid. The gameplay is nice and simple though I do wish there was a bit more meat to it. Like I would've liked to be able to use the arrows outside of one spread attack, but still does the job well enough. I do like how the levels don't exactly have a set path, it should make going back and replaying it interesting. And the original story isn't bad either. It's not much but still it's an enjoyable filler arc and does fit nicely in the Millennium Falcon arc. If I were to have some grips with the game it's that I think a good deal of the levels don't really compliment Guts's move set with a lot of them being crammed spaces. I also think the Zodd boss fight needed some adjustment as the only way to really effectively damage him is to do a jump slash and even then that'll take a while. Which leads to what should be a cool boss fight becoming dull.
Anyway I do think this game is worth playing for any Berserk fan as it's fun filler and can easily be cleared in a single sitting (It's only like 3 hours long).
