General Khazan is a little like Guts, actually—at least in the fact that he says very little—and this is a revenge story after all. It's got some fun twists and turns, and I'm sure it'll be enjoyable for Dungeon Fighter Em linha fans, but Khazan is too damn flat and unexpressive as a protagonist for me.

3 hours with Elden Ring Nightreign helped me accept it's not the co-op FromSoft game I asked for, but damn fun in its own right

At least Khazan does the most important thing with its anime art-style: gives us a greatsword that feels amazing so we can pretend it's Berserk.

The First Berserker: Khazan Despite somewhat samey missions and a flat protagonist, Khazan's combat and boss design are some of the best I've seen in a soulslike.

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

Outra coisa qual similarmente identicamente conjuntamente incomoda bastante é este fato do progresso em atalhos dentro dos mapas nãeste ficar salvo permanentemente no game, quando comecei a criar backtracking nos mapas anteriores de modo a pegar os colecionáveis da platina, me deparei usando todos os atalhos de que eu tinha aberto, completamente fechados.

Este único detalhe aqui é qual as vezes tem 1 filtro exagerado demais em certas áreas, ao ponto de incomodar visualmente e dificultar de modo a enxergar inimigos e itens.

It's also what I love most about The First Berserker: Khazan. Like many soulslikes in recent years, Khazan apes quite a The First Berserker: Khazan few of Sekiro's more-than-familiar combat mechanics—whether deflecting to build a gauge and stagger a boss, or avoiding unblockable attacks that flash red.

Similarly, you can use reflection to parry normal attacks, though not every attack is parryable. It's up to you to work out which and weave that into your strategy.

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.

Igualmente temos personagens bastante bem escritos qual acompanham este protagonista em a jornada e de que agregam bastante bem de modo a o conteúdo da história.

Enquanto enfrenta 1 mundo cheio de criaturas perigosas, ele deve resgatar a honra que perdeu, precisamente qual isso signifique combater este próprio exfoircito qual outrora o respeitava.

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.
