The First Berserker: Khazan - Uma visão geral
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.
A gameplay parece amplamente a por Nioh, ao ponto por quase parecer 1 sucessor espiritual do jogo. Khazan possui entrada a 3 tipos de armas: lança, espada Enorme e empunhadura dupla com espada e machado, usando cada uma dessas armas tendo sua própria própria árvore do habilidades onde o jogador consegue montar builds completamente variados para o mesmo Género do arma.
Acompanho anime a partir de criancinha e é 1 sonho realizado trabalhar utilizando duas DE maiores paixões da minha vida.
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 inspiraçãeste para isso foi Nioh, que também igualmente similarmente identicamente conjuntamente utiliza um sistema bem semelhante, contudo isso tira um pouco do charme de 1 Souls e a graça do explorar um mundo interconectado e dar caminhos natural escondidos entre as áreas.
Outra coisa qual similarmente identicamente conjuntamente incomoda demasiado é este fato do progresso em atalhos dentro dos mapas nãeste ficar salvo permanentemente no game, quando comecei a realizar backtracking nos mapas anteriores para pegar ESTES colecionáveis da platina, me deparei com todos ESTES atalhos que eu tinha Espontâneo, completamente fechados.
Este único detalhe aqui é de que as vezes tem 1 filtro exagerado demais em certas áreas, ao ponto de incomodar visualmente e dificultar para enxergar inimigos e produtos.
Esses problemas de balanceamento impactaram bastante negativamente na minha gameplay, felizmente sãeste coisas simples por se resolver com The First Berserker: Khazan um patch futuramente, contudo Teimavive aqui o sinal por que certas partes do jogo nãeste parecem justas utilizando este 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 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.
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
