Ubel Blatt is essentially a "newer" version of Berserk. It shares many general themes with Berserk, such as a dark fantasy setting, swordfighting, sex and the theme of a lone hero betrayed by his friends and is out to get revenge. However, the mangaka of Ubel Blatt is no Miura; the art is of a more typical manga style than the extremely detailed drawings you'll find in Berserk. Consequently, the character design looks similarly generic.
This difference is rather apparent when you compare Koinzell, the main character who looks like a scarred version of Link and is indeed an Elf/Fairy thing, to Guts who is pretty much the complete opposite with his massive frame, huge sword and chisel-jawed features. There is also some silliness with special attacks being named (another common anime/manga trope) unlike Berserk, where Guts just sort of cuts everything to pieces.
That being said, we all know that Berserk has a rather lengthy interval between releases. Ubel Blatt is more of the dark fantasy setting with similar themes of hopelessness and while it's not as good as its inspiration, it still makes for an enjoyable read.
Another seinen with a sword-wielding character with a flashback-seen tragic past. This main character is stuck in a small elf-like body, but that doesn't stop him from being more sexually active than guts. Crazy violence and awesome
Two dark action adventure series that feature both male protaganists seeking revenge as an important goal. Both series provide an interesting journey of different encounters for both male leads.

Ubel Blatt is about a man seeking revenge against those who have destroyed his life and forced him to take a new body similar to how Kyo seeks revenge against Kyoshiro

They are both about great fighters that came from humble origins, but one is SCI FI while one is FANTASY. After getting betrayed and being branded as traitors by their own comrades, they aim to get revenge, killing them one by one. The story is extremely similar in a lot of aspects.

Both are set in Western fantasy settings, and have revenge as a main theme. The fight scenes are also focused around swordsmanship, much like Claymore. However, Ubel Blatt has many more mature scenes with full frontal sex.
