Khazan Update Eases Gameplay Experience

The gaming community has something new to discuss with the latest update for “The First Berserker: Khazan.” This fresh patch has tweaked the game’s Easy mode, making it more accessible for newcomers. Players will now find their attacks pack a greater punch, while they incur less damage to both health and stamina when facing enemies in this mode.

This March 27 update not only adjusts the gameplay difficulty but also refines various weapon skills and modifies boss strengths. Some bosses have been beefed up for a more formidable challenge, while others are now less daunting.

Developed by the South Korean company Neople and published by Nexon, “The First Berserker: Khazan” distinguishes itself with its cel-shaded graphics and swift combat, inspiring comparisons to the popular “soulslike” genre. This game aims to balance intense difficulty with a more approachable Easy mode. Notably, players get the choice to switch to Easy after three in-game deaths, although once selected, they can’t revert to Normal difficulty within the same game session.

The balance update rolled out quietly in the early morning, tweaking Khazan’s abilities. While the specifics of these tweaks remain under wraps, players should notice a shift in gameplay dynamics, especially those utilizing Guard tactics. This style of play, though typically demanding on stamina, now benefits from these adjustments, making perfect Guards less taxing than before.

Junho Lee, the creative head of “The First Berserker: Khazan,” shared that the update stemmed from player feedback. Despite efforts to create a more accessible Easy mode, users still reported difficulties. This feedback pushed the developers to make the game more forgiving while keeping challenges for those who seek them.

In addition to gameplay adjustments, the update enhances the Greatsword’s Brutal Attack and adjusts the Spear’s Phantom: Heatwave skill. Several bosses, including those found in Skoffa Cave and the Great Temple, saw significant changes to keep players on their toes. This update can be identified by version numbers 495103 on Steam, 01.002.028 on PS5, and 1.1.2.28 on Xbox Series X/S.

Further enriching the gaming experience, Neople also addressed some game errors and released fixes. Notably, they’ve resolved crashes related to certain in-game scenarios, such as retries against specific bosses and interactions with item tooltips. For players experiencing ongoing issues, Neople encourages reaching out to their support team and providing log files for troubleshooting.

Stay updated and ready for smoother adventures in the game by ensuring your copy is up-to-date. This patch promises an experience that adapts to various player skills, offering tweaks that could turn daunting tasks into enjoyable quests.
