With their radical approach to game design, they introduced a refreshing level of difficulty, lack of hand-holding and some intriguing new gameplay systems.

Coupled with twisting level design and monstrous bosses, they made earthquakes through the industry.

The First Berserker: Khazan is the latest Souls-like, drawing heavily from Dark Souls and other titles such as Sekiro and Nioh. Based on the Dungeon & Fighter universe, it's a dark fantasy, cell-shaded, anime-styled take on the genre, telling a tale of revenge and demonic possession through brutal combat and ruthless monsters.
