The First Berserker: Khazan - Uma visão geral

Its three weapons—a dual-wield sword and axe, a glaive-like spear, and a greatsword—each have dedicated skill trees, and its armour uses the same bonus system when equipping multiple pieces from a set.

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.

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.

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.

Assassin's Creed Shadows is a hit and Steam played a 'significant role' in that: 27% of activations were on PC and it's the 2nd-biggest AC launch of all time

Nãeste sei se isso foi por questãeste intencional do design ou resultado do um erro, porém tenho a impressão do de que muitos vão chegar nesse ponto da aventura e se sentir frustrados pela “surpresa” de que este estúdio preparou — contudo The First Berserker: Khazan vale a pena insistir 1 pouco para passar dela.

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

Vejo isso Muito mais como uma decisãeste de modo a facilitar este desenvolvimento, já de que realizar um mapa completo da amplamente Ainda mais manejorefregatráfego, mas junte isso ao fato por de que as armas são drops aleatórios por inimigos e este ímpeto de explorar diminui bastante, utilizando 1 Enorme impacto até mesmo na atmosfera global do jogo.

Quem gosta do um souslike Muito mais “tradicional” provavelmente não vai apreciar tanto este fato de qual não há 1 Colossal mapa interconectado para explorar.

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.

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

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.

Since skills don't consume stamina, you use them to supplement attacking and defending like little cheats, letting you throw out combos almost like a fighting game to deal as much damage as you can in a short window.

But its lack of exploration, puzzly NPC quests, and verticality—Khazan can't jump—means that fighting through similar environments and enemies starts to grate.
