"The First Berserker: Khazan Unveils Combat Mechanics in New Trailer"

Neople, a subsidiary of the South Korean gaming giant Nexon, is set to launch their eagerly awaited hardcore RPG slasher, The First Berserker: Khazan, on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series. Mark your calendars for March 27, as this is when you can dive into the thrilling world of Khazan. But why wait? The developers have already treated us to an eight-minute gameplay trailer, giving us a deep look into the game's intricate combat system.

The trailer emphasizes three core principles of battle: attacking, dodging, and defending. In The First Berserker: Khazan, defense takes a toll on your stamina, significantly more so than dodging. However, mastering the art of perfectly timed blocks can not only reduce stamina drain but also minimize the stun effects you endure. On the flip side, dodging consumes less stamina but demands precise timing and swift reflexes to make the most of those precious invulnerability frames during your evasive maneuvers. Much like other soulslike games, your success in The First Berserker: Khazan will depend on how skillfully you manage your stamina during combat.

Be warned: if your stamina runs dry, Khazan enters a state of exhaustion, making him an easy target for enemy attacks. This mechanic isn't just a challenge for you; it's a strategy you can use against your foes. By depleting enemies' stamina bars, you set them up for devastating blows. Even enemies without visible stamina bars can be worn down through relentless attacks. These battles test your patience, positioning, and timing, but remember, unlike your stamina, monster stamina does not regenerate over time, giving you a strategic edge.
