First Berserker: Khazan Pre-Order Bonus (DLC)

This DLC is purely an accessory to the base game, so let me be upfront about what you are actually getting: five armor pieces that make up the Fallen Star Set. Specifically that is Fallen Star's Resolve, Fallen Star's Mark, Fallen Star's Scar, Fallen Star's Tattered Clothing, and Fallen Star's Shackles. You unlock the set by clearing Mission 2 (the Blade Phantom boss fight) and opening the rewards barrel inside the Crevice hub. That is roughly an hour or two into the game, so there is no prolonged wait. The set depicts Khazan's appearance during his exile to the snowy mountains after being falsely accused of treason, which is a genuinely nice bit of narrative flavor given the story's opening. As an RPG obsessive I appreciate when bonus gear ties to lore rather than just being a random shiny skin dropped in from marketing. The set does carry functional stat bonuses and, importantly, it scales. You can upgrade and reforge it, meaning it will not just gather dust by the time you hit your third or fourth boss encounter. That said, the community consensus on places like the Fextralife wiki is pretty candid: this is primarily a fashion set. Other armor sets you find in the natural course of play, like the Ashen Wolf set, will outperform the Fallen Star in both raw defense and bonus returns fairly quickly. Think of it as a stylish training wheels option for the brutal early hours rather than a late-game meta pick. To understand the value here you also need to understand what the base game is. The First Berserker: Khazan is a hardcore action RPG from Neople, published by Nexon, set 800 years before the events of Dungeon Fighter Online. You play a betrayed general possessing a body re-animated by a netherworld spirit, cutting your way through a mission-based structure that draws heavy comparisons to Nioh. Three weapon classes, each with dedicated skill trees, drive a combat loop built around a strict stamina system, Spirit accumulation, and parrying to break enemy poise. The boss fights are, by wide reviewer agreement, among the most demanding the Soulslike-adjacent space has served up in recent years. The Fallen Star set gives early players a small defensive cushion against that particular brand of cruelty. The practical reality of a pre-order bonus DLC like this is that the "exclusive" label is doing a lot of heavy lifting. It is confirmed to be unobtainable through in-game means after release, which gives it a genuine scarcity angle. If you care about having the full cosmetic wardrobe or want to represent Khazan's fallen-general aesthetic on a second playthrough, this has value. If you are chasing build efficiency past the opening act, you will replace these pieces regardless. Worth picking up if you are already buying the base game and can get it at little or no extra cost, but it is not the kind of DLC you reorganize your budget for. Monika, Scout Team
