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

Enquanto enfrenta 1 mundo cheio de criaturas perigosas, ele deve resgatar a honra que perdeu, mesmo de que isso signifique combater o próprio exfoircito de que outrora este respeitava.

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

Do you remember the moment that Sekiro forced you to start playing by its rules? For me, I was trundling through the game like I was playing Dark Souls when I hit the Lady Butterfly boss, and suddenly there was no room for doubt: if I didn't properly learn these new combat mechanics, I wasn't going any further.

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

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

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.

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.

A história do game possui uma premissa natural interessante, e aos poucos a trama vai desenrolando e nos revelando porque Khazan foi acusado por traição e quem realmente foi o Enorme vilão dessa história sangrenta.

Isso porque, apesar de ter características tais como combates punitivos e de que dependem natural do gerenciamento por estamina e ambientes utilizando Porreiro design e atalhos interessantes, eles nãeste trazem Lindas as ferramentas que ajudam a dar personalidade ao 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.

Its combat follows a similar resource model, too, as you attack and deflect to accumulate Spirit; points you then use to perform weapon skills. Where Khazan really distinguishes itself is with its strict stamina system.

But more than perhaps any other soulslike I've played, Khazan successfully adds its own meaningful twists to these timeworn mechanics, while providing a lineup of fantastically designed bosses who make you dance like a The First Berserker: Khazan monkey as you learn them.
