From Sekiro’s swordplay to Dante’s weapon madness—these games scratch the same brutal itch as The First Berserker: Khazan

The final swing of Khazan’s mighty weapon doesn’t mean your battle is over. If The First Berserker: Khazan left you hungering for more stylish combat, meaty combos, and adrenaline-fueled boss fights, these five action games will keep that bloodlust burning.

1. Devil May Cry 5

Developer: Capcom | Platforms: PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S

If Khazan felt wild, Devil May Cry 5 is an untamed beast. This game isn’t just about action—it’s a masterclass in stylish, high-octane combat. With over 20 weapons and characters that can switch them mid-combo, the creativity is endless. Where Khazan limits you to three preset weapons, DMC5 lets you juggle swords, nunchucks, and missile launchers in a single, seamless combo.

Then there’s the “Devil Trigger”—a form-switching mechanic that’s a clear cousin to Khazan’s Phantom Form, but deeper and flashier. DMC5 oozes confidence, polish, and variety. It’s the gold standard for action games—and a must-play after The First Berserker.

2. Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice

Developer: FromSoftware | Platforms: PC, PS4, Xbox One

If The First Berserker gave you a taste of tough parries and tense duels, Sekiro is your next test. It’s one-weapon focus—the katana—makes for a combat loop built around perfect timing and posture management. While Khazan asks you to chip away at health bars, Sekiro rewards precision with one-hit kills.

The similarities between the two are no accident—Khazan clearly draws from Sekiro’s intensity. But FromSoftware’s creation is the harsher teacher. With sprawling worlds and punishing difficulty, it’s more cerebral, but every win feels earned.

3. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order

Developer: Respawn Entertainment | Platforms: PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S

Think lightsabers lack heft? Think again. Fallen Order may trade medieval blades for plasma swords, but its combat shares Khazan’s DNA—tight timing, flashy finishers, and one-on-one boss fights.

You’ll start as a learner, but by the end, you’ll wield your sabre with the precision of a Jedi Master. It also shares Khazan’s level structure: long, linear missions, gradual upgrades, and cinematic backdrops. Throw in boss fights that test your skill and a world full of secrets, and Fallen Order delivers the same thrills in a galaxy far, far away.

4. Black Myth: Wukong

Developer: Game Science | Platforms: PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S

Wukong is built around boss fights—lots of them. While many are cinematic and power-fantasy driven, others demand real skill. Like Khazan, the fights here are the highlight, even if the moment-to-moment combat lacks combo depth.

What Wukong trades in fluidity, it returns with magic. You can clone yourself, freeze time, and more. The maps are also massive, with fewer but larger missions. The game’s mythological setting and flashy visuals give it its own identity. It’s not Khazan, but fans will feel right at home with its explosive encounters.

5. Dark Souls 3

Developer: FromSoftware | Platforms: PC, PS4, Xbox One

Dark Souls 3 may not match Khazan’s spectacle, but its roots run deep in the same soil. What it lacks in special abilities, it makes up for in grim atmosphere, varied enemies, and brutal boss design.

Each area is dripping in gothic beauty, with secrets around every corner. While Khazan leans linear, Dark Souls 3 sprawls, offering shortcuts, hidden bosses, and rich lore. It’s more methodical, less combo-driven, but just as satisfying. This is the godfather of the genre that Khazan clearly reveres.

Whether you loved the raw combat of The First Berserker or its cinematic boss battles, these five games offer something equally intense. From stylish mayhem to soulslike hardship, there’s a next step here for every Berserker fan.
