O que significa 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.

As with Demon's Souls, the game is a series of linear missions that you portal to via a hub, battling between each Blade Nexus (checkpoint) to open up shortcuts until you reach a final boss. Despite this soulslike structure, Khazan actually has a lot more in common with Black Myth: Wukong.

O visual do animação 3D pelo visual cel shading implementado usando a tecnologia Unreal Engine oferece deslumbrantes cenários de modo a qual ESTES jogadores sintam como se estivessem assistindo a uma animação.

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 também 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.

Enquanto este personagem parece aceitar seu destino ingrato, espíritos por guerreiros mortos veem em seu corpo este meio ideal de modo a cumprir seus próprios objetivos.

O único detalhe aqui é qual as vezes tem um filtro exagerado demais em certas áreas, ao ponto por incomodar visualmente e dificultar para enxergar inimigos e produtos.

Khazan does a fantastic job showcasing its anime-esque art style with dramatic boss sequences and cutscenes, but some of its areas feel strangely drab and I can't work out if this is just because of the colour palette. It's not like the game is badly optimised or anything and it ran perfectly for me, but sometimes it does feel a bit like the only places you ever visit are mines, ruins, and caves.

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, The First Berserker: Khazan 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 do criaturas perigosas, ele deve resgatar a honra qual perdeu, precisamente qual isso signifique combater o próprio exé especialmentercito que outrora este respeitava.

A reviravolta de que temos pelo meio da história era extremamente esperada e a única maneira dela continuar, tornando tudo previsível demais e nenhumas criatividade pelo roteiro.
