Vampires Dawn 3 serves the same niche as 16 years ago, consequently it's
a well-made sequel for fans despite some inherent flaws.

Game looks fantastic, I love the simple pixel graphics! Fights can be hard but if you love a challenge go for it. The story is very intense and gets crazier with every second.

A good one. I like the decisions you can take and they have great influence on your experience.

The combat is a great success and isn't a pushover by any means! There's a decent amount of strategy required and the turn based aspects really bring out the classic RPG feel that everyone remembers from 'back in the day'. The graphics style really suits it well too, and definitely something I keep wanting to come back to, to scratch that turn-based RPG itch!

Vampires Dawn 3 is a game that is characterized above all by a dramatic, brutal story and a strategically well-thought-out combat system. The two predecessors of the main story were released as freeware.
I really enjoy the strategic approach to the fights, even if the fights can be tough at times. The story is just as exciting as that of the predecessor and, thanks to the built-in narrator, can be understood even if you don't know the predecessor. When looking at the graphics, the developer deliberately opted for the older model of the RPG maker, as it best suits the style of the predecessor. However, there is some innovation, especially with regard to the character graphics and graphic effects.
Overall, I am very satisfied with the game, even if there are still a few wishes left unanswered here and there. However, the developer has been very cooperative in Steam since the release day, which is why I'm curious to see what else will happen.

I enjoyed it overall but it kinda felt a bit dusty in regards of the features. I played the other 2 games and it improved alot if you compare it to them, but those were released 15 years ago. A lot more has changed in the world of rpg games. I am missing more detailed features (for example city maps, area maps that you unlock by walking the paths, just the big world map is not enough). I also wish there was more variety in creating teams. You have a core team of the 3 main characters and then usually 1 slot for vampire soldiers and monsters. This is exactly the same as in the second part from 2005.

I love Vampires Dawn 1-2 and instantly purchased VD3 as it came out on Steam. The issue here is that you don't play as Valnar in this game. No, you play as the wild animal Asgar who is evil. This game has a good and evil system build in but the funny part of it is that it doesn't matter what you do, the ending is evil / bad. It's just a joke to have a good / evil system when you play as Asgar who has 0 character progression. So it doesn't matter what you do, he keeps evil.
Most mechanics in this game forces you to lose humanity to be able to use the strongest sword, skills and much more. So if you want to play good then you wont have access to most of the systems in this game.
Werwolf summon is only for people who have pre-ordered VD3. Since I have experienced so much bad stuff about pre-ordering, I stoped doing it and that means.... no werwolf for me. You can not even purchase that werwolf as DLC. Well have to use an save game editor right here.
The dialogs are the worst. A child has written the dialogs. No matter when your character start to talk it's 95% an argument. It just redicolously annoying to read how your party is arguing everytime they open their mouth and that stuff happen the WHOLE game.
You also lose allot of nice features you had in VD 1-2 like the mind reader.
1. You can not read npcs minds anymore.
2. It doesn't matter what you do, even when you transform into a bat infront of npc to leave a village, they never notice it nor anything else. Even in VD1 you had to be carefull about transforming into a wolf, bat etc.
3. You lose the wolf transformation. So you have to keep walking rlly slowly all the time.
4. Balaning. This games balancing is rlly trash. I have played many thousands of games and this game here has one of the worst balancing of all of them. You fight like 5 minutes against 1-2 enemy because they are immune to almost everything, every element and their HP is crazy high compared to your team. Most of the enemy don't even have blood to fill up your MP.
5. In VD 2 you had pictures of quests. NPCs which helped you to find the right npc to turn in your quest. Here you have to talk to every NPC untill you finally find the correct npc to turn in the quest.
6. You are a mighty Vampire who can ripp humans in half but a small grass / flower stops you from moving ? Why you can not walk through small bushes, flowers, gras ? Never will understand that.
7. In VD 1-2 you had so many skills to use, to combine, fuse etc. In VD3 there are just a hand full of skills and they are almost all of them useless since the enemy are IMMUNE to it.
8. Bugs, there are allot of bugs. Some of them are annoying and some of them are funny.
9. You can not heal your summons. I know you never could but this is annoying.
10. Even the trashy cheat system build in in this game, costs humanity when you use it.
The only thing I liked in this game are the graphics and the music. The music is rlly epic but the fact that you have to play as Asgar is just stupid. I hate Asgar so much. He is evil, dumb, arrogant, selfish, egotistical and much more. Definitelly won't buy VD4.
