What’s up, fellow Soulslike and Action RPG fiends? If The First Berserker: Khazan is on your radar, Nexon and Neople have a surprise in store. After sinking time into the demo, I have to say—I’m pleasantly surprised. This game came out of nowhere, yet it delivers with its striking 3D cel-shaded visuals, enjoyable gameplay, and interesting mechanics such as gear sets with unique perks—something often missing in games like this.
But what really stands out? The game lets players choose their own pace, offering both an Easy and Normal mode. Huge props to Neople for this addition, especially in a genre notorious for its punishing difficulty.
Most importantly, the performance is solid. Given that demos often hint at a game’s final optimization, this one stands out. Honestly, the last time I was this impressed by a demo was Lies of P.
If you haven’t checked it out yet, The First Berserker: Khazan demo is available now on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam). It’s definitely worth a play.
Check out my playthrough below. I could have done better, but at the same time, I didn’t do bad for my first time playing the game.
