The First Berserker: Khazan – Forge Your Legend. Avenge Your Honor. 

This hardcore action RPG tells the riveting origin story of General Khazan, whose name and fighting style would echo through centuries of Arad’s history. Spurred on by a twisted betrayal, Khazan embarks on a blood-soaked quest for vengeance that blends ferocious hack-and-slash battles with a narrative steeped in conspiracies and dark secrets. The result is a gritty, skill-driven experience that forces you to earn every victory through mastery of the sword—and your own resilience. Stripped of rank and branded a traitor, Khazan must rise again from the snowy mountain wilderness to confront the sinister forces at the heart of the Pell Los Empire. From deadly skirmishes against hulking bosses to delicate political maneuvering within an empire full of whispers and lies, this journey will test your wits, reflexes, and resolve. As the Empire’s once-revered general, Khazan is no ordinary soldier—he is destined to become a legend. The question is whether you can endure the trials that await and unleash the ruthless power of Arad’s very first Berserker.

The Untold Story of Betrayal and Vengeance

In the tumultuous 89th year of the Pell Los Empire, Khazan’s world shatters when he is falsely accused of treason. Overnight, the Emperor’s most loyal general goes from decorated hero to pariah, cast out into a hostile realm of ice-capped peaks and deadly beasts. In these remote mountains, rumors speak of exiles who never return, for the cold claims body and spirit alike. Yet Khazan refuses to die quietly. Fueled by rage and driven by an unshakable sense of betrayal, he sets out to unravel the conspiracy that cost him his honor. Far beyond mere survival, your mission is a merciless quest to reclaim what was stolen. The solemn hush of snowy vistas contrasts with the thunderous clash of steel on steel as Khazan unleashes a raw, unbridled fury that would one day be known as the Berserker’s hallmark. You’ll follow every step of his transformation from disgraced warrior to unstoppable force, piecing together the Empire’s dark secrets along the way. Ancient tomes hint at lost combat techniques that push the boundaries of mortal endurance, and relics from forgotten eras promise new heights of power—if you can wield them without succumbing to the rage within.

Hardcore Combat That Demands Skill

If you’ve experienced the frantic hack-and-slash action of Dungeon Fighter Online, The First Berserker: Khazan will feel like a natural evolution of that exhilarating style—yet it also ups the ante with a hardcore twist. Precision timing, flawless execution, and strategic thinking form the backbone of every encounter. Simple button mashing won’t suffice when colossal bosses can obliterate your health bar in moments if you fail to read their attack patterns or properly manage your stamina. Each victory you claim is a testament to your adaptability and relentless determination. Combat revolves around deep, customizable systems that let you shape Khazan’s fighting style to suit your preferences. His exile has left him reliant on whatever weapons he can salvage or forge, from agile dual blades to colossal greatswords that can cleave through entire squads of enemies in a single blow. Each weapon class offers a distinct set of techniques and combos, but the real magic happens when you begin mixing and matching newly acquired skills to form devastating chains of attacks. One moment you might launch an enemy airborne with a whirling uppercut; the next, you’re dashing midair to finish them with a plunging strike. The satisfaction of chaining these moves together—interspersed with perfectly timed dodges and parries—makes every battle a white-knuckle test of reflexes and tactics.

A Gripping World Brought to Life

The First Berserker: Khazan places tremendous emphasis on environmental storytelling and striking visuals, bringing the land of Arad to life as never before. Though players of Dungeon Fighter Online may recognize certain kingdoms and locales, this prequel reveals a version of Arad still shrouded in unknown dangers and political tension. You’ll cross the boundaries between impoverished border towns desperate for protection, abandoned monasteries haunted by secrets, and grand imperial fortresses that speak to centuries of wealth and power. Each new setting is rendered in a distinctive, eye-catching blend of cel-shaded techniques and realistic textures powered by Unreal Engine, providing a visual style that’s simultaneously painterly and grounded. Despite its stylized look, the world brims with atmospheric detail. Snowfall accumulates at the edges of rooftops and mountain ledges, swirling around your character as wind and weather fluctuate. Torchlit corridors cast dancing shadows that hint at lurking enemies just out of sight. Wildlife prowls the tundra, illustrating that Khazan’s trials extend beyond mere soldiers and conspirators. At times, you’ll pause just to take in the contrast between the serene beauty of the high peaks and the brutality lurking in every shadow. These carefully crafted elements immerse you in a setting where nature itself can be as lethal as any blade. Ultimately, The First Berserker: Khazan tasks you with forging your legacy in an age of treachery and turmoil. Every boss you defeat, every mystery you unravel, and every skill you master fuels your transformation from disgraced general to an unstoppable storm of blood and steel. By delving into Arad’s past, you gain fresh perspective on the hero—or monster—that Khazan eventually becomes in the legends told centuries later.
