About the Game

Playing 3 Played 1 Completed 4

The action takes place in the 14th century, during a time of plague, famine and chaos. The world of the game is on the verge of collapse, and a new order is already brewing in the shadows under the control of vampires, ready to strike at weakened humanity.

Players take on the role of Cohen, a human-vampire hybrid who must save his family in 30 days and nights. He fights with melee weapons by day and uses his vampiric powers at night, but his bloodlust threatens to consume his mind. Each in-game day and night out of the available 30 brings the hero closer to his goal - saving his family - but every decision has consequences, and time becomes an important resource.

The game is inspired by Eastern European culture and architecture, from Polish log houses to Romanian fortified churches. The "bloodlust" mechanic can be a problem for Cohen: if you don't feed for a long time, the character can lose control and even attack loved ones.

The hero's opponent is Brensis, an ancient and charismatic leader of vampires who sees himself as the messiah of a new order. He actively interferes with the player's actions, introducing prohibitions and creating various obstacles. However, in this world there is no clear evil or good: people, feudal lords and vampires - everyone is fighting for their place.

The game is created on the Unreal Engine 5 and developed by the Rebel Wolves studio, founded by former key developers of CD Projekt. The project is led by Konrad Tomaszkiewicz, director of The Witcher 3, and the team also includes key creators of The Witcher and Cyberpunk series - screenwriter Jakub Szamalek, quest designer Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz and art director Bartlomiej Havel.

Review The Blood of Dawnwalker

Score: 8.4/10

The Blood of Dawnwalker is a big RPG with repetitive combat and bugs, but interesting side stories. There isn't much time, and your choices aren't always important, but it's still a fun game to play. Recommended for fans of vampire themes.
