Incline The First Berserker: Khazan

[toro]

Demo is out. I'm not a fan but this is basically a combination of Nioh + Sekiro.

I've unlocked greatsword, spear and double weapons.

There are a lot of complains about performance on Steam but for me the game is very smooth.

Anyway, you need to manage your stamina like crazy but at least it's not a rollfest.

Guys, try the demo! It's good.

Sounds like a good combination of inspirations to me. Demo save data carries over to the full game too. I'll probably give it a shot in the next couple days.

Played this for about an hour. Not really sure how I feel about it. Combat feels really nice and I know martial options will expand as the game goes on. The game takes heavy inspiration from Nioh, almost to the point where I'd call this the first "Nioh-like" as much as it makes me cringe to do so. So as a huge fan of Nioh 1 and 2, I'm kind of glad to see it. But it also takes a lot of stuff from Nioh that I don't love, primarily the loot system and mission-based structure. I guess a lot of whether or not this game succeeds in my eyes would depend on how fleshed out the combat truly gets the further in you get.

I just don't know about this one. It has potential, but I'm not sure how much.

That's awesome. You just saved me time AND money!



2025's looking better already!

Huh? What's wrong with mission based structure?

Nothing. Just not my preference for an action RPG. I don't hate the mission-based structure of Nioh, but I'd prefer if it was continuous level design, or at least only a few separate levels throughout the game, ala Black Myth: Wukong.
