A recent 25-minute gameplay deep dive for Rebel Wolves’ RPG, The Blood of Dawnwalker, reveals a dark fantasy experience shaped by choice, combat, and exploration. Players take on the role of Coen, a character who shifts between human and vampire. Daylight grants swordplay, investigation, and nuanced dialogue options, while nights bring supernatural powers like climbing walls, teleporting, and unleashing vampiric claws.

Combat is dynamic, mixing directional attacks, magical abilities, and finishers. Both stealth and direct fights are viable, with elite human guards and monsters providing serious challenge. Exploration is non-linear, allowing for multi-path approaches to quests: no strict division between side and main objectives, just a “narrative sandbox” of stories. Dialogue sequences adapt to your actions, and lore is woven into both investigations and confrontations. The world features medieval settlements, ruins, and secrets, with a day-night cycle fundamentally impacting gameplay.

The footage showcases dialogue depth, tense battles, and rich world-building earning Dawnwalker early comparisons to The Witcher, but with distinct vampire mechanics.
