Crimson Dawn is positioned by its creators as a Hack & Slash RPG. In this game there is no need to click on opponents, because the hero attacks opponents on his own. He chooses his own goals and uses his arsenal. The types of attacks depend on the weapons and artifacts the fighter has. The player has minimal control over his character. The gamer can only move his player using a gamepad, mouse or keyboard and decide exactly how to upgrade him. The user is also allowed to customize races. Before each outing, he can choose locations and modifiers. The stronger the monsters and bosses are, the more valuable the reward the user will receive in case of victory.

The name of the project can be translated into Russian as Crimson Dawn. That's what this video game refers to as a phenomenon that increases people's fighting abilities, but has a bad effect on their sanity. The longer the hero was exposed to it, the more time he will need to recover in the city after the sortie. It is the spiritual successor to Vampire Survivors in terms of gameplay. Its purpose is to maneuver between crowds of monsters while the warrior deals with them himself. In this game you can hire characters, improve them, upgrade their weapons and spells. In the story, the user leads a group of mercenaries who are trying to get to the Crimson Oracle and stop evil. All fighters and equipment have upgrade trees.
