This has a crumb of something interesting going for it. There's no progression and it hard ends immediately. The skills are very basic but you can tell that if given time this may become something much better later on. It's commendable that this is free so it gets a recommend simply for that. It's not good. You'll probably play it less than the time it takes to install but it has potential.

Not bad, no controller support or options but it's free. Basically 3rd person Vampire Survivors Musou.

Going to give it a 95% — would dawn again. 'Blade of Dawn' is a free gamejam project that honestly surprised me in a good way. It delivers a short, fun, and surprisingly engaging experience. The gameplay loop is solid and enjoyable, with combat and skills that feel powerful and satisfying. There’s a quite a bit more content here than you’d expect from a small project, and the character designs are genuinely beautiful. The atmosphere also gives the game a strong identity. On the technical side, I didn’t run into any bugs, However, the controls do occasionally feel a bit laggy, and the sound design is pretty generic and could use more personality. There’s was also no tutorial, but thankfully the game is simple enough that it’s easy to pick up the controls quickly. The biggest downside is length — a full run only took about 20 minutes to complete, so it’s definitely on the short side. That said, for a free game, it feels fair rather than disappointing. Who would I recommended it to? Anyone looking to try out free indie games or support new developers. This is a quick, enjoyable experience that shows real potential. Final Verdict: A sharp little experience that doesn’t overstay it…

Amazingly addictive for such a simple game, not something you play for hours, and hours, but it will be fun for the first 2 or 3 if you wanna get on the leaderboards, don't use your T skill ever, they do not count as kills, as it also doesn't give you XP nor heal you when you get the perk for it, it spawns mobs that tank enemies for you but they're useless, since you can use the 2 levels you lose spamming it to get 2 hp perks and become nearly immortal, the game is quite not balanced xD
