A regra de 2 minutos para The First Berserker: Khazan

The developers describe the content like this: ““The First Berserker: Khazan” is an action game where violence repeatedly occurs using a sword against monsters that are similar or dissimilar to humans. Blood effects accompany when receiving attacks or attacking states.”

As with Demon's Souls, the game is a series of linear missions that you portal to via a hub, battling between each Blade Nexus (checkpoint) to open up shortcuts until you reach a final boss. Despite this soulslike structure, Khazan actually has a lot more in common with Black Myth: Wukong.

O estilo de animação 3D no visual cel shading implementado usando a tecnologia Unreal Engine oferece deslumbrantes cenários de modo a qual ESTES jogadores sintam saiba como se estivessem assistindo a uma animaçãeste.

Acompanho anime desde criancinha e é um sonho realizado trabalhar com duas DE superiores paixões da minha vida.

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 de modo a isso foi Nioh, de que similarmente identicamente conjuntamente utiliza um sistema bem semelhante, contudo isso tira 1 pouco do charme de 1 Souls e a graça do explorar um mundo interconectado e dar caminhos natural escondidos entre as áreas.

Outra coisa de que igualmente incomoda amplamente é o fato do progresso em atalhos dentro dos mapas nãeste ficar salvo permanentemente no game, quando comecei a fazer backtracking nos mapas anteriores de modo a pegar os colecionáveis da platina, me deparei utilizando todos os atalhos de que eu tinha aberto, completamente fechados.

O único detalhe cá é que as vezes possui 1 filtro exagerado demais em certas áreas, ao ponto do incomodar visualmente e dificultar de modo a enxergar inimigos e itens.

Esses problemas por balanceamento impactaram bastante negativamente na minha gameplay, felizmente sãeste coisas simples por se resolver com um patch futuramente, porém Teimavive aqui o aviso do qual certas partes do game não parecem justas com o jogador.

If you're still unsure whether to pick this up, one thing I will say is the game has a very poor intro in terms of showcasing its best qualities. If in doubt, try out the demo (if it remains available up to release) and get to the Blade Phantom boss after the first couple of missions—this The First Berserker: Khazan is the point where you'll get a sense of what it's really about and it'll all click into place if it's going to.

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.

After all, Khazan has some real difficulty spikes. Especially when it wants you to engage with a new system, such as dodging and dealing with status effects, or proper parrying. Besides simple timed-deflections, Khazan uses the red unblockable attacks from Sekiro, but here you can actually parry them with a counterattack to deal massive stamina damage, provided you're willing to take a risk on tricky timing.

Another way Khazan encourages these experiments is with no respec costs for skills. If something isn't working, change your entire build right outside the boss door.

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.
