Neople, the developer behind The First Berserker: Khazan, is rolling out hotfixes aimed at tackling bugs that are disrupting player progression on PC. The game, renowned for its in-depth revenge narrative and dynamic combat, is headlined by the esteemed voice actor Ben Starr. Players step into the shoes of Khazan, a former esteemed general now resurrected by warrior spirits after being betrayed by his own empire and accused of treason.
Embarking on this journey isn’t for the faint-hearted, as completing just the main storyline takes around 35 hours, with a full exploration stretching to 50 hours or more. Fans seem thrilled about a soulslike offering such an extensive experience, particularly one that’s gaining accolades for its thrilling boss encounters and combat mechanics.
Recently, the community manager, binpark, took to Reddit to announce the release of two hotfixes in response to a significant bug. This issue, primarily affecting those who exit the game during a loading screen, has been a stumbling block for players eager to progress through the narrative. Available on Steam, these updates require an urgent update from users.
Moreover, the same problem is being experienced by PlayStation and Xbox users. Neople has committed to rolling out a fix for these platforms shortly. Until then, affected players can attempt a workaround by recovering their save data, although there might be some loss of progress. Despite the frustrations with these bugs, many players remain eager to dive into the game, with its official release on March 27 just around the corner for broader access.
As it stands, The First Berserker: Khazan is receiving positive feedback, boasting an 80 on OpenCritic. Reviews are especially praising its challenging boss fights, positioning it as a formidable entry in the soulslike genre. With the promise of exploring an entirely new world and tackling fresh challenges, enthusiasts are eagerly anticipating every aspect this game has in store.
