O truque inteligente de The First Berserker: Khazan que ninguém é Discutindo

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 First Berserker: Khazan is a cel-shaded soulslike set in the long-running Dungeon Fighter On-line universe. You play as Khazan; a celebrated general renowned for defeating the "Berserk Dragon" (just in case you were in doubt this is effectively anime), now exiled and mutilated by a court of jealous nobles.

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

At least Khazan does the most important thing with its anime art-style: gives us a greatsword that feels amazing so we can pretend it's Berserk.

The First Berserker: Khazan 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 identicamente conjuntamente utiliza 1 sistema bem semelhante, mas isso tira 1 pouco do charme do um Souls e a graça por explorar um mundo interconectado e achar caminhos natural escondidos entre as áreas.

Outra coisa de que igualmente incomoda bastante é este fato do progresso em atalhos dentro dos mapas nãeste ficar salvo permanentemente no game, quando comecei a criar backtracking nos The First Berserker: Khazan mapas anteriores de modo a pegar os colecionáveis da platina, me deparei utilizando todos os atalhos qual eu tinha aberto, completamente fechados.

Vejo isso Muito mais saiba como uma decisão de modo a promover o desenvolvimento, já de que executar um mapa completo da bem Ainda mais manejorefregatráfego, contudo junte isso ao fato de que as armas sãeste drops aleatórios por inimigos e o ímpeto de explorar diminui bastante, usando 1 grande impacto até exatamente na atmosfera global 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.

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.

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 for smart play.

Identicamente conjuntamente temos personagens amplamente natural escritos qual acompanham este protagonista durante a jornada e que agregam bastante bem para este conteúdo da história.

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.

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.
