Nexon announced the first focus test of the hardcore action game The First Berserker: Khazan. Testing took place at the developers' office from February 3 to 5, 2024. In total, more than 8,400 applications were submitted, of which 24 people were selected. And additionally bloggers and streamers were invited.
According to the developers, at the start of work on the project they had little experience in creating games of this genre. But in the end, they are happy with the progress of development and are happy to present an early build to players. With the feedback they receive, they hope to create a truly fun and innovative game.
Based on the test results, players positively noted the elaboration of the combat system, the hero’s skill tree, interesting boss battles, the direction and staging of story scenes, as well as the unique graphic style of the game. Weaknesses included regular enemies, the character's stamina system, the user interface, and little variety in content between bosses.
The First Berserker: Khazan is a hardcore action game based on the Dungeon Fighter universe from the South Korean studio Neople. The project is being developed on Unreal Engine 5 and will be released on PC (Steam), PlayStation5, XBOX X/S.
