Gotta say...watching cascas gameplay has really turned me off. Her combat seems way too exaggerated. Berserk kind of has more realistic combat, despite being fantasy

This is a series where the main character wields an impossibly large sword with ease. Far from being realistic at all Laughing Nice to see that Wyald is gonna be in it,despite not being a big fan of the character.

Here is hoping that Koei Tecmo doesn't mess up this PC port as they have done with their previous games.

Japan doesn't exactly value the PC as a platform as the West does hence why some PC ports of Japanese made games tend to be....shaky.

There was more scenes of Casca fighting in that video, then in the whole Manga. In the Manga you see her fight a few nameless soldiers and Adon(who was really only comedic relief)

There were definitely more fights than that (vs Guts before he joined the Hawks, various battles against soldiers in separate occasions, Adonx2, Silat, and killed one Apostle defending Judeau during the Eclipse).

Anyway, Casca in the trailer's kinda plain and slower than expected. 2 of her attacks were stuff she did in the source material, which is cool. Musou fits her well.

Judeau's looking like a beast though, and looks the most fun out of everyone I've seen so far.

The base structure of Musou games haven't changed since Dynasty warriors 2. They have added and added and added options and moves and the graphics keep getting better but its always the same game with a different skin.

Hokuto Musou and Zelda musou were a blast, Orochi 2 was good. I expect Kyojin and Berserk to be much of the same. I never got to play the Gundam Musou games, They looked great.

I was actually going to say Guts, but I didn't know if that counted. Still given how strong she was supposed to be, you don't see her do much fighting even including them.

Yes, well, commanding officers aren't really supposed to do that much actual fighting on the front-lines. Remember that Casca used to scold Guts for charging into battle without taking his position as captain of the Hawk's raiders into consideration.

Here's hoping they can sort out an Xbox One release for Europe too.

I played the first two Gundam games and loved them. They were basically recreations of the series impossible 1v100 mech fights anyway that started around the Wing era.

Because he freaking EARNED to be this strong. No one else is as strong (from the humans)!
I agree that Caska's, Jugo's AND Griffith's moveset are ridiculous.
That's what happens when you try to just reskin your game and call it a new one.
