During the initial 15 minutes of the game, spectators observe a damaged and bruised Khazan being revived by an enigmatic figure called the Blade Phantom. In the opening scenes, Khazan navigates snowy terrains, engaging any adversaries he meets along the way. As the story progresses, he faces stronger enemies in a cavern, where players need to strategically dodge, counter, and defend against incoming attacks to stay alive. The 15-minute gameplay segment concludes with an intense showdown against a massive, ferocious boss monster, adorned with fur and spikes.

According to Kim Hyeon Rae, the Lead Narrative Designer, in an interview for Unveil the Universe, the world depicted in The First Berserker: Khazan shares similarities with medieval Europe. He explains that the story revolves around the emperor of the Pell Los Empire, who was consumed by jealousy over the people’s admiration for Khazan and Ozma due to their achievements. As a result, the emperor betrayed them.

In a straightforward manner, Lead Combat Designer Lee Won Tae characterizes Khazan’s battle approach as “bold and decisive,” using his immense power to overpower opponents. As players progress through the game, they will acquire distinct types of weapons, each offering unique gameplay experiences. The rest of the video delves into other aspects of The First Berserker: Khazan, covered by other developers.
