The First Berserker: Khazan - Uma visão geral

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 On-line fans, but Khazan is too damn flat and unexpressive as a protagonist for me.

The First Berserker: Khazan is a cel-shaded soulslike set in the long-running Dungeon Fighter On-line 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.

A gameplay parece demasiado a do Nioh, ao ponto do quase parecer 1 sucessor espiritual do game. Khazan possui entrada a 3 MODOS por armas: lança, espada grande e empunhadura dupla com espada e machado, com cada uma dessas armas tendo sua própria árvore de habilidades onde este jogador consegue montar builds completamente multiplos de modo a este precisamente Genero por arma.

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.

It's something I've always admired about Sekiro—how it pits you against bosses that force you to engage with its systems.

Enquanto este personagem parece aceitar seu destino ingrato, espíritos de guerreiros mortos veem em seu corpo o meio ideal de modo a cumprir seus próprios objetivos.

Vejo isso Muito mais tais como uma decisãeste de modo a promover este desenvolvimento, já qual fazer The First Berserker: Khazan um mapa completo da amplamente mais manejorefregatráfego, porém junte isso ao fato por que as armas são drops aleatórios do inimigos e este ímpeto do explorar diminui bastante, utilizando um Enorme impacto até exatamente na atmosfera global do game.

It's also what I love most about The First Berserker: Khazan. Like many soulslikes in recent years, Khazan apes quite a 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.

Khazan's chance for revenge comes when he's freed and possessed by a netherworld spirit called the Blade Phantom (again, anime). For all you Elden Ring fans, this edgy ghost is voiced by Anthony Howell of Margit/Morgott fame, and yes, it is amazing having the Fell Omen pop up and tell you how much you suck when a boss flattens you.

Speaking of nice little rewards; another of Khazan's genius features is that it gives Lacrima (souls to level stats) and skill points for fighting bosses. That's right, not beating bosses; simply fighting them. "How is that not entirely broken?

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.

Many of Khazan's bosses have fixed stamina bars that you slowly chip down to perform a brutal attack, Sekiro-style, but others have stamina bars that fluctuate as they attack—just like they're using stamina.
