The First Berserker: Khazan is a solid soulslike from Neople that caught me by complete surprise. It’s tightly designed and polished with several mechanics that separate it from a traditional soulslike. It’s available now on PC and consoles and runs quite well no matter what system you’re playing on.
It has support for multiple inputs on the PC version and you’ll have a fun time whether you’re playing on a keyboard and mouse or controller. Here is a reference to the complete controls of The First Berserker: Khazan for every supported input type.
