Dark Souls has even taken a few style cues, with weapons and armors that resemble (though seldom replicate) the armor and weapons used in Berserk, making Guts cosplays the most common build in the game. The sequels would become even more blatant, with the moon at the end of Dark Souls III bearing more than a passing resemblance to the Eclipse from Berserk. You can even find analogies for Berserk's characters in Gwyn's family and knights look no further than the Wolf Knight Artorias to be a Guts clone, right down to his broken, useless arm. The notion of the Dark Sign itself mirrors that of Berserk's Brand of Sacrifice (which another From game, Bloodborne, would use a version of for its Hunter's Mark), as does Dark Souls' general tone of perpetual misery despite attempts to carry on. While Demon's Souls may have been a bit more discreet, Dark Souls kicked it into overdrive. The geniuses at FromSoftware haven't exactly been hiding how much they love Berserk. Unfortunately, the licensing agreement expired, and the armors are excluded from the 2017 re-release on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. Players could find two armor sets, the Swordsman Armor Set and the White Hawk Armor Set, which were the armors worn by Guts and Griffith, respectively. To drive that comparison home, Dragon's Dogma had an officially licensed cross-promotion with the then-new Berserk: The Golden Age Arc film trilogy. The design elements of the world, one which embellishes fantasy elements with a real-world touch, were heavily inspired by the style of Berserk. Dragon's Dogma released to reviews somewhere between mediocre and favorable reviews, though it has quietly amassed a fan following over the years thanks to a re-release and a Netflix anime.
The game sees players become an Arisen when a dragon takes their heart, tasking them with bringing down the paragon to prevent the apocalypse. Another property helmed by Hideaki Itsuno, Dragon's Dogma may not look like it has a lot in common with Berserk outside of its fantasy setting.
