Oooh, now this looks quite promising, doesn't it? Recently, Koei Tecmo announced that it's got Dynasty Warrors developer Omega Force working on a Berserk musou title, but we're yet to see the game in action. While we imagine that a gameplay trailer can't be too far away, Famitsu's gone live with a full preview of the upcoming slash-'em-up, complete with screenshots.
Even though Berserk won't be slapped with an 18+ rating in Japan, as per Koei Tecmo's policy, that doesn't mean it'll avoid the bloody battles that the manga and anime property is known for, as evidenced by the pictures that we've embedded. As you can see, lead character Guts likes nothing better than to turn his enemies into a chunky red paste.
Does Berserk look good to you? Mow down your opponents in the comments section below.

I'm all over this like Guts over Casca in THAT scene. You know the one.
Looks like Griffith in the top screen pic. I wonder how far this will go in the story?
Here's to hoping it will have a Susumu Hirasawa soundtrack.
.
And also.... i heard that its set during the golden arc, but that's clearly Black Swordsman Guts, i hope we get the pre-eclipse version guts to play. (also, Berserk Armor Guts)
Nice and good match for a Musou title
looking good, think i'll have to reaquaint myself with the manga to freshen up
Bigger than the buster sword! And his arch nemesis is.. physics!
The armors are from the Falcon of the Millennium Empire Arc, so I hope that the game covers the Fantasia arc too!!
Very excited, Berserk is one of my favorite mangas ever.
@Frank90 a real classic!
@Damo Haha me too mate, me too!
Lost all my excitement when I saw that it's a musou, but maybe this will be the first that I'll enjoy. I'd love some more Berserk, god knows the manga's barely advancing/being made anymore.
Really hope that you can kill more than just human soldiers in the game.
The last screen shows Guts dismembering trolls, but the first one shows humans staying intact. This game will be an interesting example of how Japanese obscenity laws work in relation to depictions of violence in video games. In Japan, humans are not to be shown being dismembered, but anything that qualifies as a "monster" is fair game to be cut into chunks. A good example of this is PS2 classic Shinobi--imagine my disappointment when I found out that my Japanese copy was actually the censored one for once.
So even though Berserk Musou may not have a western release date yet, it may not be worth importing if it could be subject to CERO censorship.
Looks delish.
