First Berserker: Khazan is an upcoming single-player action RPG from the cutthroat universe of Dungeon & Fighter (DNF).

Known for its dynamic, anime art style and distinct combat system, the DNF series combines the fast-paced, high-energy action of old-school brawlers with classic RPG elements, and has earned a loyal global fanbase. The reveal trailer introduced audiences to the story of Khazan, an exiled general armed with hardcore hack and slash skills that players can develop and customize to take full control of their gameplay experience

In this hardcore action RPG, thrilling combat takes center stage with every step of Khazan’s quest for vengeance against those who orchestrated his downfall, marked by intense, aggressive and ever-changing styles of battle.
