Do you remember the moment that Sekiro forced you to start playing by its rules? For me, I was trundling through the game like I was playing Dark Souls when I hit the Lady Butterfly boss, and suddenly there was no room for doubt: if I didn't properly learn these new combat mechanics, I wasn't going any further.

The First Berserker: Khazan is a cel-shaded soulslike set in the long-running Dungeon Fighter Online universe. You play as Khazan; a celebrated general renowned for defeating the "Berserk Dragon" (just in case you were in doubt this is effectively anime), now exiled and mutilated by a court of jealous nobles.

Isso nãeste foi reflexo único Destes aumentos DE minhas habilidades ou dos melhores equipamentos do protagonista, mas sim do jogo realmente deter ficado menos desafiador (ou mais justo) desse ponto em diante.

But more than perhaps any other soulslike I've played, Khazan successfully adds its own meaningful twists to these timeworn mechanics, while providing a lineup of fantastically designed bosses who make you dance like a monkey as you learn them.

Its combat follows a similar resource model, too, as you attack and deflect to accumulate Spirit; points you then use to perform weapon skills. Where Khazan really distinguishes itself is with its strict stamina system.

A clara inspiração para isso foi Nioh, qual igualmente utiliza 1 sistema natural semelhante, porém isso tira um pouco do charme de 1 Souls e a graça de explorar um mundo interconectado e achar caminhos natural escondidos entre as áreas.

Enquanto o personagem parece aceitar seu destino ingrato, espíritos de guerreiros mortos veem no seu corpo o meio ideal para cumprir seus próprios objetivos.

Enquanto é normal que jogos do finesse soulslike tenham “muros” para testar a habilidade Destes jogadores, demorou um Porreiro tempo até qual outro inimigo exigisse tanto quanto o terceiro chefe do game.

Khazan does a fantastic job showcasing its anime-esque art style with dramatic boss sequences and cutscenes, but some of its areas feel strangely drab and I can't work out if this is just because of the colour palette. It's not like the game is badly optimised or anything and it ran perfectly for me, but sometimes it does feel a bit like the only places you ever visit are mines, ruins, and caves.

A história do The First Berserker: Khazan jogo possui uma premissa natural interessante, e aos poucos a trama vai desenrolando e nos revelando porque Khazan foi acusado de traição e quem realmente foi este grande vilão dessa história sangrenta.

Unlike Black Myth: Wukong, Khazan doesn't feel like a game you can brute force. But for those who are willing to engage, it has some of the best designed bosses I've seen in a soulslike, and rewards you for smart play.

" you ask. Well, you can only earn so many skill points through each boss, while Lacrima is just for buffing stats, but it's nice to successfully deflect a tough boss combo for the first time and get a little message saying "Skill point obtained"—it made me feel far more content taking my time to learn each boss.

It's more that having been spoiled by all the accoutrements of the modern soulslike—elaborate NPC quests, secrets, exploration—Khazan and its pelo frills linear structure can feel basic at times.

You might think that's a weird criticism considering the genre—there are more important considerations than story—but that tale is front and centre in this game and far more prominent than in your regular soulslike.
