The release of the vampire action-RPG The Blood of Dawnwalker is approaching, and the developers are giving interviews. Recently, the project's game director, Konrad Tomaszkiewicz, spoke about the combat system.
During a conversation with Edge Magazine, he compared the parrying mechanic to Guitar Hero – at first, players might find it difficult, but they will get used to it over time:
The parrying system is a bit like Guitar Hero. At first, you can't hit the right button, and later you start performing all sorts of very complex compositions.
Such a comparison is quite understandable: in The Blood of Dawnwalker, during combat, you will have to monitor the direction of attacks to successfully parry them.
But the developers took into account that not everyone might like this – players will have the option to enable "auto-block" to parry attacks even when choosing the wrong direction.

Russian localization has not yet been announced for the game, but there were earlier rumors that it might eventually appear.
