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.

Embora desafiador de modo a jogadores hardcore, ESTES 2 níveis do dificuldade e a variedade do mecânicas do combate e habilidades tornam o jogo atingível para jogadores do todos os níveis.

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.

Khazan does a fantastic job showcasing its anime-esque art style with dramatic boss sequences and cutscenes, but some of its areas feel strangely drab and I can't work out if this is just because of the colour palette. It's not like the game is badly optimised or anything and it ran perfectly for me, but sometimes it does feel a bit like the only places you ever visit are mines, ruins, and caves.

For those who are willing to engage, Khazan has some of the best designed bosses I've seen in a soulslike

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

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 nãeste foi reflexo único dos aumentos das minhas habilidades ou Destes melhores equipamentos do protagonista, mas sim do game realmente ter ficado menos desafiador (ou 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 The First Berserker: Khazan parece aceitar seu destino ingrato, espíritos do guerreiros mortos veem no seu corpo o meio ideal de modo a 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.

Moderno soulslike, Khazan reúne elementos qual deram certo na Classe e faz seu próprio suco — e 1 suco muito bom para se repetir

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.
