Khazan Introduces New Difficulty Levels

Sure, here it is:

—

Okay, so you know that game, First Berserker: Khazan? Yeah, it’s getting an update in June. And let me tell you, it’s gonna be a bit of a game-changer. Or maybe not. I guess it depends on how you look at it—or how you play it? Whatever. So, Neople, the people behind this whole shebang, they’re shaking things up with a new difficulty system. Honestly, I didn’t see that coming. But if you’ve been around the block with Khazan’s quests for revenge, maybe you did?

This gem of a game, apparently, dropped on March 27, 2025. Man, where was I that day? Oh right, binge-watching some random series. Anyway. People seemed to dig it at launch. And since then, updates kinda just rolled out like clockwork. The one from May? It brought in some boss rush modes—Great General’s Crucible and Berserker’s Bloodshed, for anyone keeping track. Oh, and a little something on changing appearances quicker—you know, so you don’t look like you’re stuck in a character creation screen forever.

By the way, did I mention the game’s difficulty makeover? Nope? Okay, backtrack a bit. So, the “Easy” setting is getting a new name—“Normal.” Might make you go, “Huh?” but stay with me here. The old “Normal” is getting a makeover as “Challenge.” Just perfect for those folks who think they’ve got the combat thing down. And if you’re totally new or just want to chill, there’s the “Beginner” mode sliding into the mix. Let’s you ease in, dip your toes, whatever you want to call it.

Oh! Almost forgot. For the hardcore crowd—yeah, there’s now a “Hardcore” mode. You’ll love this one (or hate it?). They’re removing things like enemy health and stamina bars—because why not up the anxiety a notch? Seriously, the camera even jumps on the drama bandwagon. And there’s a Combo tab in the in-game guide! It’s like they knew we needed help with those wild moves.

I should probably mention some other tweaks too, shouldn’t I? Right. So, they’re adding a Skill Preset system, Gear Presets, and upping storage space like crazy—from a measly 100 to a whopping 500 slots. And don’t you love it when drop rates get better? Main bosses are gonna drop crafting goodies for sure now. And the Augment of Wisdom thing? Yeah, you’ll be seeing more of that.

Ah, one more tidbit—almost slipped my mind. The online demo? That’s going offline for a bit. Can’t blame them, though. The game’s evolved quite a bit from the first version. So, there you have it. That’s the scoop, for better or worse.
