About the game
The First Berserker: Khazan is based on the universe of Dungeon & Fighter, a well-loved franchise by Nexon. The story focuses on the hero Khazan, the ancestor of all Slayers, and his fall from grace after defeating the Berserk Dragon Hismar. Wrongfully accused of treason, Khazan becomes an outcast, but he fights to reclaim his honour.

- Hardcore combat: Inspired by Dungeon & Fighter, battles feature frantic hack-and-slash gameplay combined with tough challenges.
- Customisation and growth: Players can choose weapons, armour, and perks to match their play style while upgrading Khazan’s abilities.
