Mar 24, 2025The First Berserker: Khazan isn’t reaching for that manifestation of Souls. Instead, it's a dark fantasy anime adventure with a beginning, middle, and end, pitting you against bosses I’d proudly position next to the finest found in the niche. Whether or not you thought Elden Ring’s enormity overwhelming, set aside some time and money to experience what Neople have created here. The First Berserker: Khazan isn't the first of its kind by any measure, but it's one of the best.

Mar 31, 2025Among the finest soulslike games around, though the label doesn’t quite do it justice. This is an action game brimming with charisma, featuring fierce, exhilarating gameplay destined to earn a place in the hall of fame of great classics. Even if you're not familiar with the lore of Dungeon & Fighter, it's still worth diving into its dark fantasy story and experiencing a game that caters to all those who crave a real challenge.

Apr 10, 2025The First Berserker: Khazan is a great game for fans of the Souls-like genre, especially those who enjoyed the Nioh series. The combat is fun and challenging, the progression systems are deep and satisfying, and the art design is impressive. But I honestly don't think it's for anyone who isn't a Souls fan.

Mar 31, 2025The First Berserker: Khazan is a Soulslike that is brutal and genuinely challenging, yet never unfair to the player. Its combat system, finely tuned, satisfying, and varied, keeps players engaged until the very end, offering a worthy title for fans of the genre. While it may rely a bit too heavily on NiOh’s structure, it unfortunately inherits some of its more frustrating flaws, which inevitably prevent it from fully reaching its potential.

Apr 4, 2025The First Berserker: Khazan is a fantastic game for all Soulslike fans who appreciate challenging boss battles. Sekiro fans, in particular, should definitely check it out.

Mar 24, 2025Despite a forgettable story and some constricted level design, The First Berserker: Khazan's excellent combat is more than enough to cover for these missteps. It's challenging, engaging, and consistently satisfying, complemented by a cavalcade of dynamic enemies and a versatile progression system that extends beyond the typical XP-based approach. It can feel derivative at times, yet The First Berserker's confluence of ideas and influences makes for a thrilling souls-like that stands out in what has become an increasingly crowded genre.

Mar 24, 2025The First Berserker: Khazan is a typical Soulslike-inspired action RPG that takes a lot of inspiration from Nioh, and offers nothing new that separates itself from the dozens of others out there. Even in the many aspects it takes from Nioh, it often does them worse. Its beautiful art direction is largely held back by a deliberately dull color palette. Additionally, its combat has some great animations, yet overall feels sluggish because of how restrictive its stamina system is. I was prepared to have a great time with The First Berserker: Khazan, but there’s so little that I enjoyed because it always took two steps back in every step it took forward.
