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

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.

And if you don't like parrying or deflection? Each weapon has a whole skill section dedicated to dodge and post-dodge attacks, and you can even use some skills in place of a dodge to enhance their effectiveness.

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.

Quem gosta do 1 souslike Ainda mais “tradicional” provavelmente não vai apreciar tanto o fato por de que não há 1 Enorme mapa interconectado para explorar.

Ao dominar as armas e habilidades versáteis por Khazan, ESTES jogadores podem personalizar efetivamente AS SUAS táticas de modo a conquistar diversos MODOS do chefes e navegar por cenários de combate variados.

Enquanto é normal de que jogos do finesse soulslike tenham “muros” para testar a habilidade Destes jogadores, demorou um Porreiro tempo até que outro inimigo exigisse tanto quanto este terceiro chefe do 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.

A história do game tem uma premissa bem interessante, e aos poucos a trama vai desenrolando e nos revelando porque Khazan foi acusado por traiçãeste e quem realmente foi o Enorme vilãeste dessa história sangrenta.

Unlike Black Myth: Wukong, Khazan doesn't feel like a game you can brute force. But for those who are willing to engage, it has some of the best designed bosses I've seen in a soulslike, and rewards you The First Berserker: Khazan for smart play.

" 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.

It's more that having been spoiled by all the accoutrements of the modern soulslike—elaborate NPC quests, secrets, exploration—Khazan and its no frills linear structure can feel basic at times.

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
