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.
Enquanto enfrenta um mundo cheio de criaturas perigosas, ele deve resgatar a honra que perdeu, mesmo que isso signifique combater o próprio exército que outrora o respeitava.
Quem gosta do um souslike mais “tradicional” provavelmente não vai apreciar tanto este fato do de que não há um grande mapa interconectado de modo a explorar.
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 no room for doubt: if I didn't properly learn these new combat mechanics, I wasn't going any further.
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 inspiraçãeste de modo a isso foi Nioh, que também igualmente similarmente identicamente conjuntamente utiliza um sistema natural semelhante, porém isso tira um The First Berserker: Khazan pouco do charme por um Souls e a graça por explorar um mundo interconectado e achar caminhos natural escondidos entre as áreas.
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?
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.
And if you don't like parrying or deflection? Each weapon has a whole skill section dedicated to dodge and post-dodge attacks, and you can even use some skills in place of a dodge to enhance their effectiveness.
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.
Isso faz parecer que parte do progresso foi jogado pelo lixo e honestamente nãeste entendi tal decisão do “resetar” certas coisas do mapa após sair dele.
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.
It's something I've always admired about Sekiro—how it pits you against bosses that force you to engage with its systems.
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.
