What a shame to hear that the team behind Khazan was dissolved. The Game with the Best Combat System and The Best Bosses ever has come to an end. I thought that they would release the sequel at some point but it seems fate had other plans. Khazan was one of the best Non FromSoftware Title and it sucks that it did not got the attraction it deserved.

I booted this up thinking “oh cool, Berserk vibes.” Two hours later I’m walking around like I’m auditioning to replace Guts. This game understands one thing very clearly: DRIP > EVERYTHING. Every armor set? Gas. Every weapon? Screenshot-worthy. I spent more time in the equipment menu than in some boss fights. Fashion Souls? Nah. This is Fashion Berserk. The kill finishers?? Bro. The slow-mo brutality. The blood. The “you are NOT surviving this” energy. Every time one triggered I leaned back like I personally directed the animation. The anime/comic + dark fantasy art style mix actually works insanely well. It feels gritty but stylish. Edgy but not cringe. Like someone said: “What if Berserk but playable… and slightly unhinged.” Combat is clean, boss designs slap, and some of those fights absolutely humbled me. Respectfully. Violently. Also those little emoji mug things you collect? Why are they so cute in a world this depressing. Why do I love them. Why did I 100% them. From start to finish I had fun. Challenging, stylish, bloody, and way more polished than people give it credit for. If you like Berserk, dark fantasy, big weapons, and finishing enemies like you owe them money — play this.

I'll keep it short: Story/lore - 4/10 Side quests - 5/10 Enemy variety - 8/10 Soundtracks - 9/10 Level design - 6/10 Art/style - 10/10 Combat - 10/10 Boss Fights - absolute cinematic masterpieces, 10/10 Should you play it? Really depends. The story is very cliche and banal, but the combat and boss fights are so good, it overlaps the cons. Probably yes

Khazan delivers a brutal, high paced souls-like experience rooted in fast combat and amazing boss battles. While it can shine in many areas (and boy, does it know how to shine in those), there are also some flaws that should to be talked about. Pros: - Combat System: The fighting in this game is absolutely phenomenal. Responsive, stylish and satisfyingly brutal. Each of the three weapon types has it's own skill tree, which enable a deep combo system that encourages aggresive and intense gameplay. Similar to Lies of P, the combat combines best of the both worlds from Sekiro (parry-based combat) and classic Souls, where dodging the enemy's attack plays a vital part. Which approach you should choose heavily depends on the situation, your build and the opponent you are facing at the moment. - Bosses: The bosses in this game are one of the best in the entire genre, nothing short of spectacular. Each (main-)boss is uniquely designed, hard, but, if you take your time to learn them, never unfair. - Difficulty: The difficulty is one of the most discussed aspects of this game. On the one hand, there is already literally an easy mode available (which does lock you out of the true ending tho). But still there are mainy claims that this game is too hard when you play it on normal, which is the way it was meant to be played by the developers. Instead of commenting on this with the obligatory "git gud", I'll say this: What is one of the core characteristics of a good Souls-Like? That it is meant to be hard, that you are meant to struggle and (partially) suffer. Only when you failed against a boss, again and again, each time understanding their mechanics a little more, slowly getting the timings right, gradually getting closer and closer to your goal until finally, hands-sweating, heart-pumping, you manage to defeat him - then you have truely beaten, no, mastered the boss and experienced the true meaning and beauty of the souls genre. Push your limits, apply yourself, overcome your weaknesses, git gud. The sense of accomplishment will be worth it. Armor sets: Armor in this game does not just supply protection against enemies or makes you look like a badass (which it does), it also grants you a variety of set bonuses in the likes of passive buffs, elemental effects or even new skills, which allow for a variety of effective builds and counterplay to certain bosses. Cons: - Level Design: In contrast to most souls-likes, which present a rich, interconnected world to explore (think of Dark Souls, Bloodborne), Khazan opts for a mission-based format (like Nioh). Paired with the for the most part disappointingly linear level layouts, this game fails to create the distinguished dark atmosphere for which especially the Fromsoft games are known for. - Story: The plot is your run-of-the-mill revenge story. It's not terrible, but also nothing new or sensational. - bugs/performance: Two months after release, there are still minor bugs present in the game. Tho the developers are continually releasing new patches, it is still not entirely bug-free, but the main problems have been adressed. What on the other hand really grinds my gears: When did publishers/developers decide, that a game does not anymore have to be polished and optimized regarding performance, and that it is instead just fine to throw a pop up in your face every time you boot up the game, that you should not run this game on an HDD, but on an SSD? Don't out-source the performance problem to me, just polish your games like you are supposed to do (/rant over). Khazan may not offer the interconnected, immersive world that other games of this genre deliver and many players crave, but it more than makes up for it through it's incredible combat system and phenomenal bosses. It is punishing but also rewarding and is at it's best when you are locked in in a life-or-death duel with one of it's amazing bosses. If you live for great boss fights and intense action, Khazan should be your next game.
