Neople is rolling out hotfixes to tackle bugs that hinder player progression in The First Berserker: Khazan on PC. This gripping soulslike adventure promises a rich and lengthy journey, with the main narrative taking around 35 hours to wrap up. However, completing everything the game offers could easily exceed 50 hours. The same technical issues are also affecting PlayStation and Xbox gamers, but Neople is swiftly working on a similar fix for those platforms.
In an official Reddit update, Neople’s Community Manager, binpark, informed players about these crucial fixes aimed at resolving problems that occur if the game is closed during loading screens. This often freezes player advancement, causing a major hurdle in the story. Currently, these updates are live on Steam, and it’s recommended that players download them immediately.
Enthusiasts of The First Berserker: Khazan have rallied around its appeal, drawn to its dynamic combat and captivating boss encounters. Despite the bugs, the community remains eager to dive into its content, fueled by the early access phase available now, with a full release slated for March 27.
For console players experiencing similar hiccups, Neople is preparing corresponding updates soon. In the interim, players are encouraged to take advantage of a workaround involving loading their save data, though it may result in some progress loss. Despite this, many are undeterred, showcasing their anticipation by delving into this challenging soulslike.
Right now, The First Berserker: Khazan is basking in positive feedback, boasting an impressive score of 80 on OpenCritic. Critics have lauded its tough-as-nails boss battles, earning it praise as potentially one of the toughest soulslike games available. With its immersive world and myriad new bosses to conquer, players are excited to see the full breadth of the adventure that lies ahead.
