🧠 What Is First Berserker: Khazan?
First Berserker: Khazan is a dark fantasy action RPG with a brutal, skill-based combat system. You play as Khazan, a once-revered general falsely accused and cast out—now on a blood-soaked quest for vengeance.

The gameplay mixes:

Stylish melee combat

Soulslike pacing

RPG progression and dark storytelling

🎮 1. Core Gameplay Mechanics
⚔️ Combat System
Combat is fast, violent, and skill-driven. It’s about precise timing, target prioritization, and aggressive combos.

Combat Flow:
Light attacks = fast slashes

Heavy attacks = slower, brutal finishers

Combos chain into special skills

Parry, evade, or counter to survive enemy flurries

🧠 Pro Tip: Timing is everything. Learn enemy patterns — don't button mash.

🩸 Berserker Mode
Khazan's rage builds up in battle. Once the Berserker Gauge is full, you can unleash:

Increased speed and damage

Blood-fueled skills

Unique finisher animations

🔥 Tip: Save Berserker Mode for mini-bosses and mob-heavy sections.

💀 2. Enemies & Bosses
Enemies vary from agile assassins to corrupted beasts and armored guards.

Combat Tips:
Shielded enemies: Break guard with heavy attacks or charged skills

Swarm mobs: Use AoE skills to control space

Elite foes: Use your dodge frames carefully; bait and punish

Bosses: Watch for multi-phase attacks, telegraphed slams, and rage-triggered behavior

📢 Don't panic-roll — it's better to dodge at the last moment to avoid stun-locks.

🛠️ 3. Weapons, Skills, and Upgrades
Weapons
Khazan wields a massive greatsword, but variations exist in:

Attack speed

Skill synergy

Status effects (e.g., bleed, stagger)

Skills
Skills are tied to stamina and cooldowns. They can:

Break enemy guard

Launch enemies into the air

Counter incoming attacks

Unlock and upgrade new skills as you progress. Some may be combo-based, others rage-powered.

Upgrades
Improve:

Weapon power and scaling

Armor defense and resistances

Skill effectiveness (e.g., faster cast time, wider hitboxes)

💡 Experiment: Try different skill loadouts until you find one that complements your rhythm.

🧭 4. Exploration & Level Design
The game’s world is:

Linear but layered

Packed with optional paths, secrets, and lore

Full of traps, puzzles, and shortcut loops

Explore to find:

Hidden chests

Lore entries (fleshing out Khazan's backstory)

Upgrade materials

Special enemy encounters

🧱 Look for destructible walls, blood markings, and environmental clues.

🧬 5. Character Progression
Leveling up increases:

Strength – Weapon damage
