Absolute Masterpiece Peak Cinema. Easily one of the best souls-like out there. I had a blast playing it and all the cool bosses, beautiful music and story made it even more worthwhile💖

The First Berserker: Khazan is a incredibly challenging, fun and standout "souls like" game that has so much going for it that makes it stand on its own, while also feeling "familiar" to the souls like genre. Lets talk pros and cons..

Pros

Graphics - This game has a beautiful art style that truly stands apart from other souls like games in the genre. You feel as if you are partaking in a souls like anime game, similiar to code vein but with higher fidelity. It is truly beautiful to look at in its own way. The game also features beautiful design for its weapons, gear and locations that it will keep you looking around as you play.

Combat - The combat in this game is EXCEPTIONAL. There is one part of it that irked me in the start, but i will keep that for the cons. There is a great amount of weapon choices in the game to fit many players between fast and agile, or slow and hard hitting. The difficulty of the game is smooth and gradually increases, up until you hit a couple of bosses that really test your skill and force you to get better than you thought you were. Overall, this games combat is addicting, fun and fast paced to keep even the best souls players on their toes.

Gear - This game has fantastic gear that is fun to find and fun to upgrade. It has a rarity system, showcasing your typical colors of gray for common, blue for uncommon, purple for epic etc. Theres a black smith for crafting sets of gear, crafting single pieces, crafting weapons and dismantling extra gear for resources. There a enchantress that will buff your gear, change their attributes and more. There is so much to do here its ridiculous. The gear has set pieces, that go all the way up to 6 piece sets (I Havent found more than that). There is plenty of mix maxing capabilities here as gear of the same name can drop with different stat buffs. This system will keep you busy for hours on end.

Music - The music is this game is really good. It is not a "blow you away" type musical score, but the music here WILL pump you up during every encounter you are in, especially bosses. Everytime I enter a boss battle the music will hype you up beyond believe while you get your ass kicked.

Difficulty - This game is really difficult, even for souls games. However there is difficulty options that allow ytou to make the game "easier"...but most souls players probably wont opt for this. Regardless the game is very challenging, fun and rewarding and you will get that here if you are looking for it.

Level Design - This game has fantastic level design. Some of these levels feel MASSIVE and truly have so many shortcuts and different areas to find / explore. The game also features hidden walls, like dark souls, allowing for even more exploration and things to find / secrets to attain. Overall every level felt like a lot of fun to explore and try to find every nook and cranny.

Lets talk about the cons:

Combat - Animation lock - So this game features a pretty aggressive animation lock with some of its abilities. The slower your combat style the more you will experience this. Other souls games give you ways to counter this for the most part, but this games animation lock feels more aggressive. It is more noticeable at the start of the game, with your stamina being very limited not allowing you to do much. It got a lot better once my stamina increased dramatically and I went with the dual wield option of weapon choice. Regardless, i just felt this was a little more annoying in this game than others.

Reused Content - Almost every souls like game does this, but it still needs to be said. This game reuses a lot of content. All the side missions are basically the same maps as the original missions with slightly different versions of bosses and enemies you've already fought prior. The quests are fun and they do try to add a story line to them, but overall it is honestly the same content you've already done in the main missions and it happens alot in this game to pad the hours and content in the game.

Overall The First Berserker: Khazan is an amazing souls like game that will be a joy for most souls like fans looking for a truly challenging, fun game with an amazing combat and gear system that will keep you busy for hours on end.
