A few days before the release of The First Berserker: Khazan, journalists published their reviews of the game. On Metacritic, it scored 80 out of 100, with reviewers highlighting both strengths and weaknesses.

The combat system received the most praise, as it skillfully blends blocking, dodging, and counterattacks. Thanks to this, fights feel dynamic and deep, sometimes resembling a choreographed dance. The ability to combine weapon skills makes battles feel almost like a fighting game.

Reviewers also praised the well-designed bosses, each featuring unique mechanics that require tactical thinking to overcome. Another highlight was the game's visual aesthetic. It boasts a dark fantasy setting with anime-inspired visuals and intricately detailed locations.

However, The First Berserker: Khazan also has its downsides. Critics pointed out repetitive level design, dull environments, a weak story, and a poorly executed introduction that fails to properly showcase the combat system.
