The First Berserker: Khazan Is Really Starting to Shape Up Ahead of Its PS5 Beta | Push Square

pushsquare.com:

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.

Closed beta in October

Robert (or Rob if you're lazy) is an assistant editor of Push Square, and has been a fan of PlayStation since the 90s, when Tekken 2 introduced him to the incredible world of video games. He still takes his fighting games seriously, but RPGs are his true passion. The Witcher, Persona, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, Trails, Tales — he's played 'em all. A little too much, some might say.

Definitely interested.

Sure, I’ll sign up for a free beta.

Ugh, I hate how they make you check off that you want to receive promotional materials in your email. At least it’s easy to unsubscribe.

It's my most anticipated game now that we have Wukong on our hands. I can't wait to try it out.

Yeah it looks fun! GoW meets Darksiders, hopefully the story and atmosphere can set it apart, but looks a perfectly fun palette cleanser at the moment.

Looks great. Hesitant with Nexon involved but hopeful it turns out to be a good game no strings attached.

Looks awesome and I'm really looking forwards to this. You guys at pushsquare do realise that not every 3rd person hack
