Khazan Introducing New Difficulty Levels

The June update for First Berserker: Khazan? Oh man, it’s gonna stir things up quite a bit! If you’ve dipped your toes into game land before, or if you’re a seasoned warrior in Arad (that’s where Khazan, our hero, plots his revenge), you’ll feel this one. So, Neople? They’re shaking out the way this game’s difficulty works. Imagine you’re cruising along, thinking you know the ropes. Bam, changes galore.

Now, this game? It hit the scene on March 27, 2025. People were like, “Okay, not bad.” But then they tossed out the May patch. You know, that one was all about boss rush modes—Great General’s Crucible and Berserker’s Bloodshed. Once you’re through the main tale, those bad boys unlock. And, they did that thing where you get to change your look sooner. No more waiting forever just to swap your gear.

For some quirky reason, okay, this image stuck with me: the in-game tires? They sounded like wet cardboard on ice. Why’d I notice that? Who knows.

Anyways—hold up—yeah, about June, so the devs are flipping the script. Used to be “Easy” mode, right? Not anymore. Now it’s “Normal,” and that’s your starting point. Old “Normal”? It’s called “Challenge” now. More intense, like it should be. And there’s a “Beginner” mode rolling in. Nice for newbies who, well, don’t wanna get dunked by complex systems immediately. You can crank it up when you’re feeling brave.

Oh, here’s the kicker—there’s “Hardcore.” Only for those who’ve slayed in “Challenge” mode. Picture this: UI gets stripped away. No health bars, nada. Even your camera goes wacky to make things tense. Plus, they’re adding this new Combo tab in the game’s Encyclopedia. Handy for picking up fancy moves as you go, right?

Aside from the hardcore stuff, we’re getting some fixes and boosts. Skill Preset, Gear Presets, and sorting your loot? Easier now. Storage? Yes, please—it’s bumped from 100 slots to a whopping 500. And loot? Bosses now drop essential crafting stuff every time. Oh, and Augment of Wisdom drops more too. Something about the online demo: it’s taking a break. The game’s changed so much since day one that they thought, nope, can’t keep the old demo up.

Honestly, this update? A whirlwind of tweaks and tweaks-on-tweaks. Like, are you ready for it?
