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

Neople, a subsidiary of the South Korean gaming titan Nexon, is set to thrill gamers with the release of their highly anticipated hardcore RPG slasher, The First Berserker: Khazan. Mark your calendars for March 27, as the game will be available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series. In the lead-up to its launch, the developers have unveiled an eight-minute gameplay trailer that dives deep into the game's intricate combat mechanics.

The video spotlight focuses on the three core pillars of battle in The First Berserker: Khazan: attacking, dodging, and defending. A crucial aspect to master is the stamina management system. While defending uses a significant amount of stamina, perfectly timed blocks not only lessen the stamina drain but also help minimize the impact of stun effects. On the flip side, dodging consumes less stamina, yet it demands sharp timing and quick reflexes to fully leverage the invulnerability frames during these evasive moves. As with other soulslike games, mastering stamina management is key to triumphing in The First Berserker: Khazan.

Should your stamina deplete entirely, Khazan will enter a state of exhaustion, rendering him completely defenseless against enemy onslaughts. This mechanic introduces a strategic layer, as players can also exploit it against adversaries with stamina bars by draining their stamina before unleashing devastating attacks. For foes without visible stamina indicators, relentless attacks can still erode their resilience. These encounters require a blend of patience, precise positioning, and impeccable timing. However, the gameplay remains balanced because monster stamina does not regenerate over time, giving players a tactical edge if they play their cards right.
