Sword of the Berserk: Guts' Rage - Sega Dreamcast - Intro & first hour of gameplay [HD 1080p]
11Based on the dark Berserk manga, this Dreamcast title follows the same story idea as the Recod of Lodoss War Dreamcast game and occurs in between events seen in the Manga. In Berserk: Guts' Rage the story takes places during manga volumes 22 & 23. Series creator Kentaro Miura also worked on the game, which is an odd cross between scrolling beat'em and Ninja Gaiden style hack and slash and a digital movie. As you can see in this video much of the game is spent watching long cutscene, before you arrive at the often short action sections. The game itself is not particularly long as a result and can be finished in under three hours. Most of the replay value comes from all the unlockable extras like mini games and battle arena which help pad out the title. Ultimately Berserk: Guts' Rage is aimed at fans of the Manga and they won't be disappointed the story moves at a good pace and the game features lots of well known American voice actors. The script is a bit weak in places and much of that is likely due to a rather rushed translation. While the game claims to feature plenty of gore it's rather tame compared to other Dreamcast titles and indeed the Berserk manga, which deals with far darker themes, than the game.
Sword of the Berserk: Guts' Rage only runs at 30fps on Sega Dreamcast.
