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

Nãeste sei se isso foi por questãeste intencional por design ou resultado por 1 erro, contudo tenho a impressãeste por qual muitos vãeste chegar nesse ponto da aventura e se sentir frustrados através “surpresa” de que este estúdio preparou — porém vale a pena insistir um pouco para passar dela.

As with Demon's Souls, the game is a series of linear missions that you portal to via a hub, battling between each Blade Nexus (checkpoint) to open up shortcuts until you reach a final boss. Despite this soulslike structure, Khazan actually has a lot more in common with Black Myth: Wukong.

A reviravolta qual temos pelo meio da história era extremamente esperada e a única maneira dela continuar, tornando tudo previsível demais e isento criatividade no roteiro.

A clara inspiraçãeste de modo a isso foi Nioh, que similarmente identicamente conjuntamente utiliza um sistema bem semelhante, contudo isso tira um pouco do charme por 1 Souls e a graça do explorar 1 mundo interconectado e dar caminhos bem escondidos entre as áreas.

If you're still unsure whether to pick this up, one thing I will say is the game has a very poor intro in terms of showcasing its best qualities. If in doubt, try out the demo (if it remains available up to release) and get to the Blade Phantom boss after the first couple of missions—this is the point where you'll get a sense The First Berserker: Khazan of what it's really about and it'll all click into place if it's going to.

Isso nãeste foi reflexo único dos aumentos das minhas habilidades ou Destes melhores Aparelhamentos do protagonista, mas sim do game realmente ter ficado menos desafiador (ou Ainda mais justo) desse ponto em diante.

Khazan's chance for revenge comes when he's freed and possessed by a netherworld spirit called the Blade Phantom (again, anime). For all you Elden Ring fans, this edgy ghost is voiced by Anthony Howell of Margit/Morgott fame, and yes, it is amazing having the Fell Omen pop up and tell you how much you suck when a boss flattens you.

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

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.
