5 técnicas simples para The First Berserker: Khazan
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.
Nãeste sei se isso foi por questãeste intencional por design ou resultado por 1 erro, contudo tenho a impressãeste por qual muitos vãeste chegar nesse ponto da aventura e se sentir frustrados através “surpresa” de que este estúdio preparou — porém vale a pena insistir um pouco para passar dela.
A gameplay parece amplamente a por Nioh, ao ponto por quase parecer 1 sucessor espiritual do game. Khazan tem acesso a 3 ESTILOS do armas: lança, espada Enorme e empunhadura dupla com espada e machado, com cada uma dessas armas tendo sua própria árvore por habilidades onde este jogador consegue montar builds completamente multiplos de modo a o mesmo Espécie do 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 para isso foi Nioh, de que identicamente conjuntamente utiliza um sistema bem semelhante, porém isso tira um pouco do charme por 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) 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.
The developers describe the content like this: ““The First Berserker: Khazan” is an action game where violence repeatedly occurs using a sword against monsters that are similar or dissimilar to humans. Blood effects accompany when receiving attacks or attacking states.”
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.
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 The First Berserker: Khazan 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.
It's something I've always admired about Sekiro—how it pits you against bosses that force you to engage with its systems.
It means that though bosses unleash long deadly combos, they're most vulnerable to a stagger right after them—a nice little reward for staying alive and a very smart idea.
