O guia definitivo para The First Berserker: Khazan

" you ask. Well, you can only earn so many skill points through each boss, while Lacrima is just for buffing stats, but it's nice to successfully deflect a tough boss combo for the first time and get a little message saying "Skill point obtained"—it made me feel far more content taking my time to learn each boss.

Nãeste sei se isso foi por questão intencional do design ou resultado do um erro, porém tenho a impressão de que muitos vão chegar nesse ponto da aventura e se sentir frustrados pela “surpresa” que o estúdio preparou — mas vale a pena insistir um pouco de modo a atravessar dela.

A gameplay parece demasiado a do Nioh, ao ponto do quase parecer um sucessor espiritual do jogo. Khazan tem entrada a 3 tipos de armas: lança, espada Bastante e empunhadura dupla utilizando espada e machado, utilizando cada uma dessas armas tendo tua própria árvore do habilidades onde o jogador consegue montar builds completamente variados para o mesmo tipo por arma.

Hell, even change weapons if you want to—they each have their own distinctive playstyle. Tanky bosses and limited healing mean that if you don't use the skill system or strategize and try stuff out, you're likely going to have a tough time.

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

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) The First Berserker: Khazan 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.

O Primeiro Berserker: ESTES impressionantes gráficos cel-shaded 3D por Khazan dão vida ao mundo do Arad com o visual vibrante por filmes animados.

Outra coisa que igualmente incomoda amplamente é o fato do progresso em atalhos dentro dos mapas nãeste ficar salvo permanentemente pelo jogo, quando comecei a tomar backtracking nos mapas anteriores de modo a pegar os colecionáveis da platina, me deparei usando todos ESTES atalhos que eu tinha aberto, completamente fechados.

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.

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.

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 monkey as you learn them.
