The highly anticipated action RPG, The First Berserker: Khazan, has unveiled its first gameplay footage, showcasing a promising blend of elements that fans of the genre will appreciate. With a distinctive cel-shaded anime art style and a chilling frosty aesthetic, Khazan captures the essence of a dynamic combat-filled manga.
As the latest entry in the Dungeon & Fighter series—following titles such as DNF Duel and Dungeon Fighter Online—The First Berserker: Khazan offers a thrilling hack-and-slash experience reminiscent of classic games like God of War and elements found in the Souls series. The trailer highlights Khazan, who undergoes a dramatic healing process utilizing a mysterious sword known as the "Blade Phantom." Following this, players are taken on a journey through a snowy landscape, wielding axes and swords against various adversaries, culminating in an intense boss battle against a formidable Yeti-like creature.
What sets Khazan apart is its incorporation of Soulslike mechanics, featuring intricate level designs, impactful falling and charge attacks, a sprinting option, and the ability to parry enemies. The visually striking stylization of the game fills a niche that has been largely absent from recent action RPGs.
The First Berserker: Khazan is slated for release in 2025, targeting platforms including PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Be sure to stay tuned for more updates as they develop in the lead-up to its launch.
