Enquanto este personagem parece aceitar seu destino ingrato, espíritos de guerreiros mortos veem no seu corpo o meio ideal de modo a cumprir seus próprios objetivos.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Vejo isso mais como uma decisãeste de modo a facilitar o desenvolvimento, já que criar um mapa completo da demasiado mais produção, contudo junte isso ao fato do que as armas são drops aleatórios por inimigos e o ímpeto de explorar diminui bastante, utilizando 1 Enorme impacto até mesmo na atmosfera global do game.

Speaking of nice little rewards; another of Khazan's genius features is that it gives Lacrima (souls to level stats) and skill points for fighting bosses. That's right, not beating bosses; simply fighting them. "How is that not entirely broken?

A história do game tem uma premissa natural interessante, e aos poucos a trama vai desenrolando e nos revelando porque Khazan foi acusado de traição e quem realmente foi este Enorme vilãeste dessa história sangrenta.

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.

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 The First Berserker: Khazan as much damage as you can in a short window.

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.

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 Em linha fans, but Khazan is too damn flat and unexpressive as a protagonist for me.
