The levels are also scattered with notes and other collectibles that help shape what was there.
But there are no hour-long monologues or anything like that;Khazanis a very action-heavy game at its core.
Admittedly, thats a really funny way to shrug off the repetition.
Another element taken fromNiohis the way the loot works.
There are three weapons in the game: Dual Blades, Greatsword, and Spear.
Each of the three has their own unique weapon trees filled with skills.
The combat centers around dodges and parries.
When taking on enemies, taking in their attack patterns is the optimal answer to their onslaught.
However, the actual levels themselves arent too insurmountable, its the boss fights that are the real test.
Theres no arduous, five-minute jaunt back to the fight.
This removes the need to kill the pacing by going somewhere else to grind.
These thoughtful changes made repeated battles far less of a chore than the genre typically forces it to be.
While not for the faint of heart,Khazans brutal combat makes a definitive mark on a well-trodden genre.
