I am now certain The Blood of Dawnwalker's time limit should've just been a setting, after hearing about Rebel Wolves' attempts to thread the needle
"We changed the main game, besides the prologue, because we were afraid that people [would] complain too much that it's too restricted."
After a successful launch for The Blood of Dawnwalker that faced some criticism over its timer mechanic, developer Rebel Wolves is preparing the game’s first major update for early October, according to game director Konrad Tomaszkiewicz. The update will introduce an easier difficulty mode, catering to players who prefer a less challenging experience, as well as a new difficulty level dubbed “Demanding” or similar.
The easier mode aims to alleviate frustrations with navigating around obstacles and escaping combat, as the current system can feel clunky.
Combat will also see some adjustments, including the camera automatically switching to another enemy when using a stun ability. This change was implemented after players noticed unintended interactions during gameplay reviews. Additionally, stunned enemies will require three hits to remove the stun effect, though this may be subject to change based on player feedback.
Performance issues on PC were a concern, largely due to the numerous hardware configurations. Rebel Wolves is actively seeking input from players regarding their systems to address these concerns. The developers also hinted at the possibility of a “New Game Plus” mode, which could include new enemies for added variety, but no further details were provided at this time.
