THE FIRST BERSERKER: KHAZAN - PART 2 - PLAYTHROUGH
27The First Berserker: Khazan is a third-person action game in which the player takes control of the protagonist, Khazan. The gameplay emphasizes stamina management, with actions such as attacking and defending consuming stamina. If the stamina bar is depleted entirely, the player becomes temporarily helpless. Healing items refresh at checkpoints but are highly limited in general, though more can be unlocked through exploration. Enemies also have a stamina bar, which, when depleted, causes them to become staggered, similarly to Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. Standard blocking mitigates most incoming damage, while mechanics such as perfect blocks, parries, and reflections can reduce enemy health and stamina. During combat, the player accumulates Spirit points, which enables the use of weapon skills, that do not consume stamina.
