The First Berserker: Khazan - Official Trailer

just finished my 5th playthrough of the demo and spent a total of 12 hours playing and replaying it. Even did a no armor or items run. Needless to say I enjoyed it very much. The combat is fun and addictive. It's actually 2 systems in 1 game. If you want you can play it like DS and roll around, block, parry and cause damage when you get a window or you can play it like sekiro and deflect attacks and attack until you break enemies posture and can land a death blow.
The leveling system is straight out of DS With weapon scaling, stamina management, equip weight with different rolls and physical and elemental resistances. There is a skill tree so it looks like it's pretty customizable. Stamina management seems to be tighter than DS as I often found myself running out due to the speed of the combat. Seems like there are systems in place to mitigate this though as you level up.
Game seems pretty linear at least in the demo. It's just branching paths that sometimes lead you to a chest or item as a reward.
As souls-likes go it doesn't seem to offer anything ground breaking other than being able to play like DS or sekiro, maybe. For some reason the combat really hooked me though and this is definitely a day 1 purchase. Might even let them exploit me for $10 extra and get the 3 day early version.
Oh, and I assume the demo is the first area of the game as you can carry your progress over to the game when released.
