Steam reviews

What players say

Most players recommend this Witcher-style vampire RPG for its story, atmosphere and choice-driven quests, though many note performance problems and the time limit.

Most reviewers, and Steam's 88 % positive total, recommend The Blood of Dawnwalker. Many players praise the dark medieval atmosphere, the writing and voice acting, the quests that react to earlier choices, and the Witcher 3-like structure. Combat draws mixed reactions: some enjoy the parry and counter rhythm and the night-time vampire form, while others find it repetitive or camera-dependent. The main complaint is the 30-day system, since many players feel that skill training, fights and travel all consume days and discourage exploration. Some players also report stuttering, crashes and movement glitches on Unreal Engine 5, though several say later patches helped. Recent reviews are a little warmer on the game and its patches than the early helpful ones.

Praised

  • Story and writing

    Players praise the mature writing, the morally grey choices and the voice acting that carries the story of saving a family.

    Many players
  • Atmosphere and world

    Players enjoy the dark, plague-stricken medieval Europe, the detailed towns and forests, and the lore they find by exploring.

    Many players
  • Consequential quests

    Reviewers say side quests are well designed and that choices visibly change the story, with several possible endings.

    Many players
  • Combat and time mechanic

    Players like the sharp, weighty combat mixing swordplay and vampire powers, and the time limit that makes choices feel meaningful.

    Some players

Criticised

  • Performance and bugs

    Players report stuttering, crashes, janky animations, clipping and movement problems, though several say a patch improved things.

    Many players
  • Time limit and skill cost

    Reviewers dislike that training skills, fighting, and travelling spend in-game days, which discourages exploring and completing content.

    Many players
  • Combat repetition and camera

    Players find combat repetitive, especially against several enemies, with a lock-on and camera that pick targets poorly.

    Some players
  • Repetitive content

    Players point to repeated room layouts and fights in puzzles, and to a lack of stealth.

    A few players
Who it suits
Players who love Witcher 3-style story RPGs, vampire fiction and choice-driven quests, and who are happy to plan their days carefully.
Who should skip it
Players who want free exploration without a clock, or who dislike combat repetition and are sensitive to unfinished technical performance.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with under 20 hours are mixed, citing the time limit and early combat difficulty, while players with 20 to 200 hours mostly recommend it, praising the late-game builds and story.
