O que significa The First Berserker: Khazan?
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 pelo room for doubt: if I didn't properly learn these new combat mechanics, I wasn't going any further.
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.
Isso não foi reflexo único dos aumentos DE minhas habilidades ou Destes melhores Aparelhamentos do protagonista, porém sim do game realmente ter ficado menos desafiador (ou mais justo) desse ponto em diante.
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 inspiração de modo a isso foi Nioh, qual também utiliza 1 sistema bem semelhante, mas isso tira 1 pouco do charme do um Souls e a graça de explorar 1 mundo interconectado e parecer caminhos bem escondidos entre as áreas.
Enquanto este personagem parece aceitar seu destino ingrato, espíritos de guerreiros mortos veem no seu corpo o meio ideal para cumprir seus próprios objetivos.
Enquanto é normal qual jogos do estilo soulslike tenham “muros” de modo a testar a habilidade dos jogadores, demorou 1 bom tempo até de que outro inimigo exigisse tanto quanto o terceiro chefe do game.
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.
A história do jogo possui uma premissa natural interessante, e aos poucos a trama vai desenrolando e nos revelando porque Khazan foi acusado do traiçãeste e quem realmente foi o Colossal vilãeste dessa história sangrenta.
Unlike Black Myth: Wukong, Khazan doesn't 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.
" 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.
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.
3 hours with Elden Ring Nightreign helped me accept it's not The First Berserker: Khazan the co-op FromSoft game I asked for, but damn fun in its own right
