The game review begins from Coen heading to the cathedral in search of a powerful weapon, but on the way in the fight against some bandits. This early meeting shows the combat system that will be in the blood of Dawnwalker, and players exploit the sword to fight. With a sword, Coen can attack in different directions to hit enemies and avoid blocks. During defense you will have to consider the direction in which enemies come to attack so that you can evaporate it. In addition, Coen has different abilities to exploit this combat meeting introducing biting dust, which stunns enemies, and burning blood, a hex that cooks the blood of the enemy and burns the skin. The arterial attack is another skill and in this case the enemy decapped. Then Coen falls enemies, which allows him to find a better weapon. It also eats food to supplement your health. A successful meeting was also leveled by Coen, which is a skill point that can be spent on one of three skill trees; Man, vampire and common.
In Dawnwalker’s blood, players will have to make decisions that will affect how the world around Coen reacts to him. When he approaches the city where the cathedral is, which causes the guards to have a wave, but if he did things that upset vampires or people, the guards could be much more aggressive and not let him in. Interestingly, engaging that one of the main things you will have to do is storm the Greisberg Castle, in which the Lord’s vampire is vampire to cross them, and it seems that you can try if you play if it was the first thing. defiant. When you wander the streets, there will be scenes that having nothing to do with Coen, but they can open recent tasks. Rebel Wolves said that there are many paths in the game, which each of them influenced relations with various characters, and the selection of the tasks made during the performance of the tasks. You can also abandon the tasks and choose different paths.
Exploration in Dawnwalker’s blood will vary depending on the time of day. During the day, Coen is human, so he can only discover like a man, and most places are open to him. At night, something changes like when the sun sets Coen, is a vampire and has recent movement skills, such as jumping on the roofs with ShadowStep. Coen also receives a focus mode that emphasizes interest and loot points. As a vampire, Coen’s health is represented as a level of desire and needs blood to supplement this health. This means the need to feed people, but if you feed on some people, it may have lasting consequences for history. During feeding, you can decide how much blood to be lowered. Taking a little, which makes the victim unconscious, but taking it all, he will kill them. This decision can only be made if Coen was not hungry, at which moment he simply drops the victim. You may not exploit people as a source of blood, and animals are an alternative.
Another skill that Coen has is a sesshift, and this allows him to go on the walls and through the ceilings, which makes it challenging to reach places as a man, much easier to reach at night. In the form of vampires, the fight is also different, because Coen uses its claws, not a sword to attack, but still follows the same directional mechanics. In this scenario, he stands in front of blood guards, soldiers who exploit vampires’ blood to become stronger. They are double enemies with forceful attacks, so you must be wise fighting them. If you want, you can go to exploit the sword instead of claws in the form of vampires. Blood of Dawnwalker is to be released in 2026 on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X.
