These are hack & slash video games based on the Berserk franchise of manga, anime and films. Berserk began as a manga series, which debuted in 1989 and ended in 2021 following the death of its author, Kentaro Miura.
The Berserk manga series notably influenced several popular Japanese role-playing game franchises, including the Final Fantasy series, particularly Final Fantasy VII, and the Souls series of action RPG titles, particularly Dark Souls (as mentioned by Hidetaka Miyazaki in his Giant Bomb interview). It was also a major influence on the SoulCalibur fighting games.
