We've been up and down on The First Berserker: Khazan recently. Some gameplay footage from a couple of weeks back looked a bit jank, but its Gamescom trailer — complete with a gruff Ben Starr voiceover — made a much better impression.
Fortunately, we've now got a rather good gameplay deep dive, which looks to outline the action RPG's core combat system. While we do think that the Souls-esque flow of Khazan and similar titles is starting to wear a bit thin, there's still a lot of promise here, with multiple weapon types, crunchy attacks, and a range of defensive techniques.
We're hoping that Khazan is able to build on this positivity with its closed beta, which is set for the 11th October on PS5. You need to sign up via the game's official site if you're interested.
