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.

Isso nãeste foi reflexo único Destes aumentos DE minhas habilidades ou Destes melhores Aparelhamentos do protagonista, contudo sim do game realmente deter ficado menos desafiador (ou Ainda mais justo) desse ponto em diante.

And if you don't like parrying or deflection? Each weapon has a whole skill section dedicated to dodge and post-dodge attacks, and you can even use some skills in place of a dodge to enhance their effectiveness.

Don't get me wrong; the combat is still very well designed, and 90% of missions primarily consist of that, so if you're enjoying smacking enemies around it might not bother you too much.

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

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

Enquanto é normal de que jogos do estilo soulslike tenham “muros” de modo a testar a habilidade dos jogadores, demorou um Porreiro tempo até que outro inimigo exigisse tanto quanto este 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.

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 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.

Identicamente conjuntamente temos personagens muito bem escritos qual acompanham este protagonista em a jornada e de que agregam bem natural de modo a este conteúdo da história.

It's more that having been spoiled by all the accoutrements of the modern The First Berserker: Khazan soulslike—elaborate NPC quests, secrets, exploration—Khazan and its no 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.
