A regra de 2 minutos para The First Berserker: Khazan
But its lack of exploration, puzzly NPC quests, and verticality—Khazan can't jump—means that fighting through similar environments and enemies starts to grate.
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.

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 para isso foi Nioh, que também igualmente similarmente identicamente conjuntamente utiliza um sistema bem semelhante, contudo isso tira 1 pouco do charme de 1 Souls e a graça do explorar um mundo interconectado e achar caminhos natural escondidos entre as áreas.
Outra coisa de que também igualmente similarmente identicamente conjuntamente incomoda muito é este fato do progresso em atalhos dentro dos mapas nãeste ficar salvo permanentemente no game, quando comecei a criar backtracking nos mapas anteriores de modo a pegar os colecionáveis da platina, me deparei utilizando todos os atalhos qual eu tinha Livre, completamente fechados.
Não sei se isso foi por questãeste intencional por design ou resultado do 1 erro, mas tenho a impressãeste de de que muitos vão chegar nesse ponto da aventura e se sentir frustrados pela “surpresa” qual o estúdio preparou The First Berserker: Khazan — contudo vale a pena insistir um pouco de modo a atravessar dela.
For those who are willing to engage, Khazan has some of the best designed bosses I've seen in a soulslike
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 timing.
Enquanto enfrenta um mundo cheio por criaturas perigosas, ele deve resgatar a honra qual perdeu, exatamente de que isso signifique combater o próprio exército qual outrora este respeitava.
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
