The First Berserker: Khazan is a new venture from the Dungeon&Fighter IP, which has been in existence for two decades. The story focuses on Khazan and Ozma, heroes who saved the Pell Los Empire from Hismar, the Berserk Dragon, and the Dragon Legion. However, General Khazan is falsely accused of treason and becomes an outcast condemned to exile and torture.
Players must survive imperial forces, harsh environments, and conspiracies rooted in false accusations. As Khazan was once a hero in Arad’s history, players will gradually recall his forgotten battle skills. This “hardcore action role-playing game” will feature a hack-and-slash style alongside various equipment and perks encouraging individualized customization. Plus, character abilities will be upgradeable, and different types of weapons and armor abilities can be combined.
