The First Berserker: Khazan

About

You play as Khazan, a fallen general turned vengeful wanderer in this action RPG. The game mixes fast-paced combat with a story-driven single-player campaign. As Khazan, you battle through the ruined lands of the Pelos Empire, uncovering why you were framed for betrayal and hunted into exile. Gameplay leans on brutal melee attacks and timed skill chains, with environmental hazards and enemy patterns requiring quick reflexes. The narrative unfolds through cinematic cutscenes and dialogue choices that shape your path toward redemption or ruin. Neople and Nexon bring their polish to a title that already has RPG fans curious about its 2025 release. The game’s focus on punishing combat and a tragic hero’s journey stands out in a genre often dominated by open worlds. With release set for PC and current-gen consoles, it’s a title that’s generating quiet buzz for its mix of old-school hack and slash mechanics and a story steeped in political betrayal. No official player data yet, but pre-release chatter hints at a niche audience ready to dig into its dark fantasy roots.
