Multiple outlets publish hands-on impressions after roughly four hours with The Blood of Dawnwalker, a debut AAA vampire-themed role-playing game from Rebel Wolves. Reviewers describe an experience that strongly evokes The Witcher 3 in tone and structure, including combat and quest design, with some character-driven elements and branching outcomes discussed across previews. Eurogamer highlights a mix of combat, romance, and intrigue seen early in the game. TechRadar characterizes the early build as feeling like a “true” Witcher 3 successor and says the opening hours demonstrate ambition while leaving testers eager to continue. IGN similarly frames the first-session play as promising for players looking for a next major RPG, while also drawing attention to systems and moments encountered in the early portion. Kotaku and PC Gamer add that the game borrows from The Witcher 3 “for good and bad,” pointing to both strengths and potential downsides compared with its inspiration. The Mirror agrees that the early impressions support expectations for a “badass” vampire RPG. Overall, sources converge on the same early-game theme: a Witcher-like RPG foundation combined with vampire setting and player choice.
