As a seasoned gamer with over a decade of experience under my belt, I must say that Dead by Daylight has always been a game that pushes the boundaries of horror and survival genres. But their latest chapter, Dungeons & Dragons, takes things to a whole new level.
Dead by Daylight, the horror game known for its out-of-the-box ideas, didn’t disappoint with Chapter 32, which is based on Dungeons and Dragons. While most horror games in the asymmetrical multiplayer genre stick to gritty realism, Behaviour Interactive often takes risks. So, although I was somewhat surprised by this collaboration, it fits with Dead by Daylight’s unconventional approach.
As a dedicated gamer, I can tell you from my personal experience that the idea of incorporating a fantasy-based tabletop role-playing game (RPG) might seem outlandish to an outsider. However, if we forget about preconceived notions for a moment, it becomes clear that Dungeons and Dragons is currently the most widely played tabletop RPG in existence. Furthermore, let’s not overlook the fact that fantasy, like many other genres, plays a significant role in horror stories. By immersing ourselves in these imaginary worlds, we can explore our deepest fears and unleash our creativity in ways that might surprise even the most skeptical observer.
1. “This chapter effectively conveys dark fantasy elements through the ominous introduction of The Killer, Vecna. Recognized for his relentless terrorization of Dungeons & Dragons players since ancient times, Vecna manages to resurface no matter how many times he’s defeated, continuing to wreak havoc. This theme aligns perfectly with the Dead by Daylight universe, where characters are trapped in an endless loop of fixing generators, escaping, being hunted, and killing each other.”
1. Vecna, in his eerie presence, is truly chilling to witness. Although he might not be the mightiest Killer across all of Dead by Daylight, there’s no arguing about how thrilling it is to control him or face off against him. My initial encounter as a Survivor sent a bloodcurdling shriek echoing through the night, and that scream was repeated numerous times throughout the evening. Even taking on the role of Vecna myself was just as electrifying. His ability to soar over obstacles like pallets and leap through windows significantly alters gameplay, and while seasoned Survivors may know how to respond, there’s no doubting that Vecna stands out as one of the most distinctive and engaging Killers in Dead by Daylight’s lineup.
1. What stands out about Vecna is the constant puzzle he presents. In addition to his flight capability, this character possesses three additional spells hidden within his bony frame: “Flight of the Damned” summons five purple specters that can harm and knock down Survivors if they’re in their path; “Dispelling Sphere,” an invisible area-of-effect object, disables Survivors’ magical items and reveals their auras; and “Mage Hand” materializes a gruesome hand to block and lift pallets. It may seem challenging both to keep track of and dodge all these abilities, but the developers have anticipated this issue and introduced new magical items for Survivors to counter Vecna’s cunning tactics.
1. Option: In hidden treasure chests, you can discover enchanted artifacts. Many of these items will empower you to detect Vecna’s presence in mid-flight or utilize one of his diverse abilities. However, certain artifacts offer additional advantages, such as The Hand and Eye of Vecna. The Hand allows Survivors to teleport swiftly from one locker to another, whereas the Eye grants Survivors temporary invisibility along with the Haste status effect upon leaving a locker for a brief period.
These elements make this chapter’s experience unquestionably superior. After investing more than a thousand hours into Dead by Daylight, I must acknowledge that the gameplay can grow monotonous with repeated encounters of the same perks and Killers. Behavior has attempted to alleviate this issue through features like Chaos Shuffle and the upcoming 2v8 mode. However, for those seeking thrills in the primary game mode, they are currently left to devise their own means to avoid monotony.

As a seasoned survivor of numerous apocalyptic scenarios, I can tell you that having the right equipment is crucial for success. Gone are the days when all we had to worry about was setting up generators to keep our bases running. With the abundance of magical accessories now available, Survivors like myself have new priorities.
As a long-time fan of Dungeons and Dragons, I can’t help but be intrigued by the unique duo of bards, Aestri Yazar and Baermar Uraz. Having spent countless hours immersed in this fantastical world, I find their characters to be a breath of fresh air, offering a captivating take on the beloved bard class.
As a long-time Dungeons & Dragons enthusiast with over two decades of experience under my belt, I must say that the unique cosmetic customization options for Aestri and Baermar in this game truly transport me back to the days of swapping character sheets with friends to create our dream D&D characters. Just like the Legion, 4 Killers transformed into one for gameplay efficiency, these two characters offer an exciting blend of interchangeable cosmetics that let players craft their perfect adventurer on a whim.
As a long-time fan of Dead by Daylight, I have to admit that the latest chapter has left me feeling both elated and disheartened all at once. Coming off the heels of what feels like years of anticipation, this chapter was nothing short of a masterpiece. The addition of Matthew Mercer as the voice actor for the new Killer, coupled with a map that is as stunningly beautiful as it is eerily haunting, made for an experience that was truly immersive and engaging.
Dead by Daylight Chapter 32: Dungeons and Dragons is available now for all platforms.
