From the interviews seems like this project will be a bit more ambitious than the other Warriors games. Seems like the whole dev team loves Berserk.
Hope it plays better than your average Dynasty Warriors game, Dragon Quest Warriors was cool so i guess this one's gonna be too.
Ohh and i love the brutality of the game, looks really neat. And thanks for the PC port.

Not sure about this one. I'm a fan of the original Berserk game and I also like the warriors games for the most part. The trailer looks good, but I hope the game makes you feel the brutality like the original. I hope it doesnt just seem like you are cutting through paper dolls like it does in most warriors games. Time will tell. Still low key hyped for this.
