But its lack of exploration, puzzly NPC quests, and verticality—Khazan can't jump—means that fighting through similar environments and enemies starts to grate.

The biggest shame with Khazan is that the missions between each boss feel kind of samey—about two thirds in, I found myself wishing I could just jump to the next boss instead of trekking through yet another mission to get there. I definitely appreciate Khazan not perpetuating the genre's worst tendencies; putting hidden dogs around every corner and enemies who constantly push you off ledges—cough cough Lords of the Fallen.

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.

Isso porque, apesar por deter propriedades saiba como combates punitivos e que dependem bem do gerenciamento por estamina e ambientes com bom design e atalhos interessantes, eles não trazem todas as ferramentas que ajudam a dar personalidade ao game.

Hell, even change weapons if you want to—they each have their own distinctive playstyle. Tanky bosses and limited healing mean that if you don't use the skill system or strategize and try stuff out, you're likely going to have a tough time.

Não sei se isso foi por questãeste intencional de design ou resultado do 1 erro, porém tenho a impressão do qual muitos vão chegar nesse ponto da aventura e se sentir frustrados através “surpresa” de que este estúdio preparou — porém vale a pena insistir 1 pouco para atravessar dela.

Esses problemas do balanceamento impactaram amplamente negativamente na minha gameplay, felizmente são coisas simples por se resolver usando 1 patch futuramente, mas Vive cá o aviso do qual certas partes do jogo nãeste parecem justas usando este jogador.

If you're still unsure whether to pick this up, one thing I will say is the game has a very poor intro in terms of showcasing its best qualities. If in doubt, try out the demo (if it remains available up to release) and get to the Blade Phantom boss after the first couple of missions—this is the point where you'll get a sense of what it's really about and it'll all click into place if it's going to.

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.

After all, Khazan has some real difficulty spikes. Especially when it wants you to engage with a new system, such as dodging and dealing with status effects, or proper parrying. The First Berserker: Khazan Besides simple timed-deflections, Khazan uses the red unblockable attacks from Sekiro, but here you can actually parry them with a counterattack to deal massive stamina damage, provided you're willing to take a risk on tricky timing.

Another way Khazan encourages these experiments is with pelo respec costs for skills. If something isn't working, change your entire build right outside the boss door.

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.
