New Gameplay Trailer for The First Berserker: Khazan Highlights Combat Mechanics

by Violet Mar 18,2025

Neople, a Nexon subsidiary, is poised to unleash its eagerly awaited hardcore RPG slasher, The First Berserker: Khazan, onto PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S on March 27th. A recently released eight-minute gameplay trailer offers a captivating glimpse into the game's intricate combat system.

The trailer highlights three fundamental combat pillars: attack, dodge, and defend. While defending consumes considerably more stamina than dodging, perfectly timed blocks not only lessen stamina depletion but also significantly reduce stun effects. Dodging, conversely, uses minimal stamina but demands precise timing and quick reflexes to fully utilize its invulnerability frames. As with many soulslike titles, mastering stamina management is paramount to success in The First Berserker: Khazan.

Depleting Khazan's stamina leaves him completely exposed to enemy attacks. This vulnerability mechanic, however, can be strategically exploited against enemies possessing stamina bars; players can wear down their foes' stamina before unleashing devastating blows. Even enemies lacking stamina bars can be overcome through persistent, strategic attacks. These encounters require patience, precise positioning, and impeccable timing, balanced by the fact that enemy stamina does not regenerate.
