The First Berserker: Khazan offers mission-based RPG gameplay

The First Berserker: Khazan is a new soulslike RPG set to release later this month. It is drawing comparisons to popular games like Bloodborne and Sekiro. However, its design and gameplay seem to align more closely with Team Ninja's style, especially Nioh. The game features a mission-based structure. This means players will complete specific levels, face challenging bosses, and then move on to new missions. Unlike Dark Souls, which has a singular world, each level in Khazan is its own adventure. Weapon drops in the game are also similar to those in Nioh. Players will find various weapons and armor with different stats. While this randomness can be frustrating in some games, the director, Junho Lee, assures players that grinding for items isn't necessary. Players can progress without needing to farm for good gear. Lee adds that if players want to refine their builds, they can choose to look for specific items. However, they should not get too attached to their gear, as the team expects players to replace full sets of equipment after each main mission. The game's difficulty is designed to be engaging rather than exhausting. The developers want players to enjoy their experience without feeling overwhelmed.
