About Crimson Dawn
Crimson Dawn is a bullet hell survival game inspired by Vampire Survivors. Each run for one of several unique characters makes you stronger by unlocking new talents, weapons, and combinations. Create your own build in the Hub and survive all 5 stages.
All weapons and spells attack automatically, so all you have to do is avoid enemies and try to survive.
You decide how many quests you want to take on and what you’re willing to risk. More quests mean stronger monsters—or maybe even bosses—but also better loot.
This is your home and the only place to take a breather between battles. Rest at the Inn, visit the Blacksmith, or exchange resources at the Market.
During fights, you earn materials and coins. Use them to get new abilities, upgrade weapons, or even unlock new characters. Each quest you complete will earn you even more resources.
Every weapon in the game has its own upgrade tree, as well as its own game mechanics.

- Roguelite horde survival game with RPG progression system;
- Level up your characters and upgrade their weapons and spells;

This game leaves a lot to be desired but for less than 1 euro it's okay. Shame the developer left it in early acess and released it as it is. There are a few bugs here and there, nothing too serious. The biggest problem is the lack of content. With only 3 maps, 5 characters and the overall repetitive grindy nature it's definitely not for everyone. On the flipside it doesn't take that long to beat.26 found this helpful
Not recommended - it has the same core issues as every single game in the genre - uselessly short pick up range, weapons that do not even close to enough damage, utter repetitiveness, forced to lose unless you use certain broken weapons while the rest are borderline useless and being at the mercy of the unreliable level up upgrade system to give you the bare minimum to survive. Case to point, after a couple of easy-ish waves on the first level already the game suddenly spawns nigh-unkillable mole enemies have a high likelihood of killing you even if you maxed out your starter weapons. NEAT. This game adds extra annoyances such as enemies spawning next to you and item drops stopping after a certain point. Also the health of the basic enemies is increased over time despite zero changes in their looks. You are not really getting stronger as the game progresses and instead you are given an unreliable level up upgrade mechanic that allows you to slightly remove some of your power restrictions. It is a Janitor Simulator. What you actually end up doing is jannying up to clean up all of the dropped garbage and clocking in the hours to progress in the game. The skill is not a factor in …1 found this helpful
Crimson Dawn is a fun but basic survivors like. It's pretty clear that this game was left unfinished and you can feel it as you play. It doesn't add anything new to the genre but what is here is entertaining enough if you just want to play basic bullet heaven mechanics. I like that the hub is a little town but again it feels like there was to be more content here that simply doesn't exist. I had fun with what is available in the game. I got it on a deep discount for about .60 cents. I'd recommend this game if you can get it for super cheap as it will give you a few hours of entertainment. I would not recommend it at full price.
goood game but max 10h gameplay
good but limited content
[h1]One Afternoon Fun.[/h1] Crimson Dawn is a really short adventure which honestly feels pretty incomplete. Perhaps even discontinued, because there is only two unique level and the third one while looks significantly better, there is heavily copied elements from Vampire Survivors, and there is a strange to explain unorganized chaotic atmosphere. Overall this is one of the most generic or even basic Hordes Like game out there, and the only reason it slips into the bottom of my recommended category, is because the price is actually really low. So if you are looking for something new to shake up one of your afternoon, and the game is on a sale, its possible you will like it for a few hours.

Somehow the arts doesnt pulse that certained "loved while made" aura, its hard to explain. Everything looks so generic and grey.
