Do you remember the moment that Sekiro forced you to start playing by its rules? For me, I was trundling through the game like I was playing Dark Souls when I hit the Lady Butterfly boss, and suddenly there was no room for doubt: if I didn't properly learn these new combat mechanics, I wasn't going any further.

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.

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.

Outra coisa de que igualmente incomoda muito é este fato do progresso em atalhos dentro dos mapas não ficar salvo permanentemente pelo jogo, quando comecei a fazer backtracking nos mapas anteriores de modo a pegar os colecionáveis da platina, me deparei usando todos ESTES atalhos de que eu tinha Espontâneo, completamente fechados.

Este único detalhe aqui é qual as vezes tem 1 filtro exagerado demais em certas áreas, ao ponto de incomodar visualmente e dificultar de modo a enxergar inimigos e produtos.

It's also what I love most about The First Berserker: Khazan. Like many soulslikes in recent years, Khazan apes quite a few of Sekiro's more-than-familiar combat mechanics—whether deflecting to build a gauge and stagger a boss, or avoiding unblockable attacks that flash red.

Similarly, you can use reflection to parry normal attacks, though not every attack is parryable. It's up to you to work out which and weave that into your strategy.

Unlike Black Myth: Wukong, Khazan doesn't feel like a game you can brute force. But for those who are The First Berserker: Khazan willing to engage, it has some of the best designed bosses I've seen in a soulslike, and rewards you for smart play.

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.
