The First Berserker: Khazan - Uma visão geral

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 pelo room for doubt: if I didn't properly learn these new combat mechanics, I wasn't going any further.

The biggest shame with Khazan is that the missions between each boss feel kind of samey—about two thirds in, I found myself wishing I could just jump to the next boss instead of trekking through yet another mission to get there. I definitely appreciate Khazan not perpetuating the genre's worst tendencies; putting hidden dogs around every corner and enemies who constantly push you off ledges—cough cough Lords of the Fallen.

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

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.

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

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

Esses problemas por balanceamento impactaram bastante negativamente na minha gameplay, felizmente sãeste coisas simples por se resolver utilizando um patch futuramente, mas Vive cá este aviso de de que certas partes do game nãeste parecem justas utilizando o 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 The First Berserker: Khazan 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.

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.
