[About This Game]

Experience the brutal action of The First Berserker: Khazan, a hardcore Action RPG adventure set 800 years before the events of the Dungeon Fighter Online (DNF) Universe. You will experience the vast universe and journey to the continent of Arad and discover the untold story of General Khazan. Master deep and immersive combat mechanics while you engage in strategic battles against a diverse array of foes and bosses. Will you embrace the path of the First Berserker and embark on Khazan's path of revenge?

THE FIRST BERSERKER

The Great General Khazan is falsely branded a traitor and mercilessly tortured. After narrowly escaping death, Khazan forms an unlikely alliance with the ghostly entity Blade Phantom, gaining otherworldly powers. Witness Khazan’s journey for revenge and learn his path to becoming the first berserker in the DNF Universe.

BATTLE-HARDENED GENERAL

Khazan is a master of combat, wielding an arsenal of dual-wield weapons, spears, and great-swords with unmatched prowess. Collect, upgrade, and combine these weapons with various armor sets to create your own unique combat style. Develop Khazan's abilities through multiple in-depth skill trees, allowing players to customize their playstyle and specialize in different combat techniques. While challenging for hardcore gamers, the two difficulty settings and variety of combat and skill mechanics make the game approachable for players of all skill levels.

LEGENDARY BOSSES

Khazan engages in unforgettable boss battles, where each foe presents distinct attack patterns, exploitable weaknesses, and unique abilities. These battles require strategic thinking, precise timing, and a deep understanding of the combat system, encouraging players to adapt and learn quickly. By mastering Khazan's versatile weapons and skills, players can effectively customize their tactics to conquer various boss types and navigate diverse combat scenarios.

ANIME MEETS AAA

The First Berserker: Khazan’s striking 3D cel-shaded graphics bring the world of Arad to life with the vibrant look of animated films. The essence of the Dungeon and Fighter Universe is captured and reimagined with a unique blend of bold, cel-shaded art and realistic textures, creating an immersive visual experience.

A very fun, and challenging mixture of Soulsborne, Sekiro, and God of War. Graphically impressive with a very nice cell shading art style reminiscent of JRPGs. Bosses are tough but rewarding, and will require you to learn most of their moveset to beat them. Brute forcing isn't really an option here.

I LOVE how they let you get comfirtable with the parry mechanic before then telling you that ur ganna have to get uncomfirtable because a shit ton of attacks become unparryable with a normal parry but you can use this special harder to land parry instead wich takes way more precision to land, very rewarding, very fun when you get used to it.

amazing game overall

GOTY 2025 contender for sure. Great optimization, the game runs smoothly even on older systems, badass music, nice blend of anime and realistic artstyle, controls feel snappy and responsive, fast paced combat yet still within the souls-like parameters, somewhere between Nioh and Lords of the Fallen depending on your preferred playstyle and weapon of choice.

The story is just interesting enough to keep you intrigued, but considering how souls games barely have a story unless you read random hidden trash cans descriptions, this is oscar level story in comparison (the voice acting is also peak).

But probably the best things about Khazan are the boss fights, extremely well done, difficult yet fair. Also, the game doesn't waste your time in getting to enjoy the highlights, as it is structured in missions (same as Nioh), the missions themselves are not confusing mazes filled with frustrating trash mobs and every mission ends with a boss fight.

My wishlist for the devs is to keep adding content post-launch, especially more weapon types as that alone will increase replay value, which is already high. Well worth the wait and the price!
  • Some of the best combat in the genre
  • Amazing boss fights

Game is cinema all the time even when you fight the smallest enemies and last boss is one of most cinematic things i ever seen in video games. Game is hard enough in my opinion even harder than Dark Souls 1, 2 and 3. Can’t recommend it enough and for now it’s easily game of the year for me.

Was worried about delayed attacks but found them not to be an issue in this game. You can easily cancel into your guard so deflection is easier to time than in slower games like Elden Ring and Lies of P. This game has the best combat in the genre I've seen in years. The game's primary weakness is its visual aesthetic but I don't personally value that too highly.
