Detalhes, Ficção e The First Berserker: Khazan

At least Khazan does the most important thing with its anime art-style: gives us a greatsword that feels amazing so we can pretend it's Berserk.

Acompanho anime desde criancinha e é um sonho realizado trabalhar com duas das maiores paixões da minha vida.

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.

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.

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.

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?

Isso não foi reflexo único dos aumentos DE minhas habilidades ou dos melhores Aparelhamentos do protagonista, porém sim do jogo realmente ter ficado menos desafiador (ou mais justo) desse ponto em diante.

The biggest shame with Khazan is that the missions between each boss feel kind of samey—about The First Berserker: Khazan 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.

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 de que Parcela do progresso foi jogado no lixo e honestamente não entendi essa decisãeste de “resetar” certas coisas do mapa após sair dele.

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.
