" you ask. Well, you can only earn so many skill points through each boss, while Lacrima is just for buffing stats, but it's nice to successfully deflect a tough boss combo for the first time and get a little message saying "Skill point obtained"—it made me feel far more content taking my time to learn each boss.

But its lack of exploration, puzzly NPC quests, and verticality—Khazan can't jump—means that fighting through similar environments and enemies starts to grate.

Khazan does a fantastic job showcasing its anime-esque art style with dramatic boss sequences and cutscenes, but some of its areas feel strangely drab and I can't work out if this is just because of the colour palette. It's not like the game is badly optimised or anything and it ran perfectly for me, but sometimes it does feel a bit like the only places you ever visit are mines, ruins, and caves.

Despite somewhat samey missions and a flat protagonist, Khazan's combat and boss design are some of the best I've seen in a soulslike.

Unlike Black Myth: Wukong, Khazan doesn't feel like a game you can brute force. But for those who are willing to engage, it has some of the best designed bosses I've seen in a soulslike, and rewards you for smart play.

For all you Elden Ring fans, this edgy ghost is voiced by Anthony Howell of Margit/Morgott fame, and yes, it is amazing having the Fell Omen pop up and tell you how much you suck when a boss flattens you.

Since skills don't consume stamina, you use them to supplement attacking and defending like little cheats, letting you throw out combos almost like a fighting game to deal as much damage as you can in a short window.

Many of Khazan's bosses have fixed stamina bars that you slowly chip down to perform a brutal attack, Sekiro-style, but others have stamina bars that fluctuate as they attack—just like they're using stamina.

Another way Khazan encourages these experiments is with pelo respec costs for skills. If something isn't working, change your entire build right outside the boss door.
