Notas detalhadas sobre The First Berserker: Khazan
" you ask. Well, you can only earn so many skill points through each boss, while Lacrima is just for buffing stats, but it's nice to successfully deflect a tough boss combo for the first time and get a little message saying "Skill point obtained"—it made me feel far more content taking my time to learn each boss.
Não sei se isso foi por questão intencional de design ou resultado de um erro, mas tenho a impressãeste por qual muitos vãeste chegar nesse ponto da aventura e se sentir frustrados através “surpresa” de que o estúdio preparou — porém vale a pena insistir um pouco para passar dela.
Quem gosta do um souslike mais “tradicional” provavelmente nãeste vai apreciar tanto este fato do de que não há 1 Colossal mapa interconectado para explorar.
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.
A reviravolta qual temos pelo meio da história era extremamente esperada e a única maneira dela continuar, tornando tudo previsível demais e nenhumas criatividade no roteiro.
Unlike Black Myth: Wukong, Khazan doesn't The First Berserker: Khazan 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.
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
It's more that having been spoiled by all the accoutrements of the modern soulslike—elaborate NPC quests, secrets, exploration—Khazan and its no frills linear structure can feel basic at times.
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.
A história do jogo tem uma premissa natural interessante, e aos poucos a trama vai desenrolando e nos revelando porque Khazan foi acusado do traição e quem realmente foi este Bastante vilão dessa história sangrenta.
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.
Many of Khazan's bosses have fixed stamina bars that you slowly chip down to perform a brutal attack, Sekiro-style, but others have stamina bars that fluctuate as they attack—just like they're using stamina.
Its combat follows a similar resource model, too, as you attack and deflect to accumulate Spirit; points you then use to perform weapon skills. Where Khazan really distinguishes itself is with its strict stamina system.
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.
