Neople is actively working on releasing hotfixes aimed at resolving game-blocking bugs in The First Berserker: Khazan for PC players. This game promises a substantial adventure with its main storyline taking roughly 35 hours to finish. However, the same technical hiccups that hinder progress have been found on PlayStation and Xbox versions as well, and Neople is committed to providing fixes for these platforms swiftly.
The First Berserker: Khazan, featuring voice work from the well-known Ben Starr, spins a classic revenge tale. The narrative follows Khazan, a once-revered general wronged by his own empire. He returns from the brink of death, resurrected by warrior spirits in need of a mortal vessel. Players picking up this game should brace themselves for the long haul, as the main campaign alone stretches over 35 hours, with even more gameplay for those looking to explore thoroughly. The extended playtime is a draw for fans of the genre who relish the game’s challenging boss fights and dynamic combat.
Neople’s Community Manager, binpark, took to Reddit to announce the arrival of two critical hotfixes. These updates, intended for those enjoying The First Berserker: Khazan’s early access through the deluxe edition, are designed to tackle issues related to quitting the game during loading screens, which has been a frustrating roadblock for many players. Currently available on Steam, these updates are necessary steps to ensure seamless gameplay.
On a related note, the same technical issues discovered on PlayStation and Xbox are on Neople’s radar, with resolutions expected to roll out shortly. For those impacted, a workaround involves reloading the game and salvaging saved data, though this might lead to some loss of progress. Despite these setbacks, many players remain undeterred and are eager to dive back into the game. Those curious about its intense combat won’t have to wait long, as the full release is set for March 27.
As it stands, The First Berserker: Khazan boasts positive feedback, securing an 80 rating on OpenCritic. Critics are particularly enamored with its boss encounters, with some even considering it among the toughest in its category. With expansive new environments and formidable adversaries to conquer, the game has captured the anticipation of many players eager to explore its rich offerings.
