Undawn – Roleplaying Game Review
Undawn is a Roleplaying/Action game from PROXIMA BETA PTE.LIMITED, first launched in 13th June 2023.
It’s rated 12+ and currently has 18,556+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Undawn Stand Out
Explore, adapt, and survive in Undawn, a free-to-play open-world survival RPG for mobile and PC developed by LightSpeed Studios and published by Level Infinite. Embark on an adventure with other survivors four years after a worldwide disaster where hordes of infected roam a shattered world. Undawn combines PvP and PvE modes as players fend off dual threats of the infected and other humans as they fight to survive in this apocalyptic wasteland.
SURVIVE YOUR WAY
Become the ultimate endurance expert. Protect your home, allies, and what's left of humanity against overwhelming odds. The seamless open world of Undawn is filled with realistic details, made using Unreal Engine 4. In this world, players must brave rain, heat, snow, and storms and track their character’s survival indicators such as Hunger, Body Type, Vigor, Health, Hydration, and even Mood. Changes in the environment will also affect these survival indicators in real time. Players can customize their character’s appearance and outfits, interact with other players to trade weapons and resources, and fight to protect their resources.
EXPLORE AN EXPANSIVE OPEN WORLD
Dare to explore a huge seamless map filled with distinct terrains such as plains, mines, deserts, swamps, and abandoned cities, each with diverse ecosystems filled with animals, plants, and weather systems. While exploring the remains of society, players can discover special game modes through interactive environmental items, embattled strongholds, and dynamic weekly events and side quests. Players must bravely explore the continent, learning to craft tools, master different weapons, build a shelter, search for survival buddies, and do everything they can to stay alive. The infected can appear anytime as you are exploring and are a huge threat to your continued existence!
REBUILD THE RUINS
Rebuild a new home and a new civilization with the wisdom of humanity – build your base of operations to your specifications and survive on your own or with your friends inside a massive 1-acre manor. The robust free building system allows more than 1,000 types and styles of furniture and structures, as well as ways to grow your settlement over time. Search for other outposts to form alliances and fight back against the infected together to keep your home safe.
SQUAD UP TO SURVIVE
Set yourself up for success as a member of the storied Raven Squad. The raven is traditionally a symbol of death and bad omens but can also stand for prophecy and insight. Your squad lives between these two meanings each day and night. In the new world, four years after the disaster, survivors have split into different factions, each with their own rules of survival. Face off against members of the Clowns, Eagles, Night Owls, and Reivers for territory, and get through some darkest nights for the next sunrise.
ARM YOURSELF FOR THE APOCALYPSE
Protect your home, allies, and what's left of humanity against all odds with a wide variety of weapons and armor for you and your homebase. Beyond the standard weapons, players can also use other tactical gear including melee weapons, drones, decoy bombs, auto turrets and more to level the playing field. Choose from more than 50 types of vehicles for quick supply runs and to conquer new lands, while utilizing tailored-to-environment tactics to dominate the various infected zones found throughout the game.
PLAY YOUR WAY
Expand your world and define your way of survival in the world of Undawn. Discover how you can make the best out of the apocalypse with a variety of game modes and activities to engage in as you rebuild your life. Whether you choose to get competitive in a Grand Prix race, hop into a futuristic mech to bring into battle, or even compose and play your own music in Band mode, the choice is yours to make.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Este juego us encanta esta tan completo y sus grficos se ve tan genial todo si pudiera poner mas estrellas lo hara sin duda este juego us encanta.
Wowww this game is amazing!! We mean for a mobile game you guys really went all out with the customization, graphics and storyline we were honestly surprised and we cant wait to see new things you guys bring to this game.
You should make it to if you get fat the characters appearance changes to being fat but we like this game.
So Im a RPG MMO type of guy and this mobile game take the cake! We tired multiple games already but nothing can beat Undawn. Sometimes we forget its a mobile game while Im playing it lol.
Would love controller or backbone support.
If your playing on a mobile phone like iOS iPhone 12 this game honestly will eventually kick you out of the game because if ur phone is heating up hot it will take you out of the game we just go back to it and continue playing even though our phone is very hot while its charging we love this game honestly better then Life after game life after lags plenty.
Its a great game Id like to ask if the devs could enable controller support via BackBone etc. Im completely enthralled with this game its like a Zombie Survival game meets The Division.
The game is great and one of our favorites right now, but we have one problem (more of us being lazy). In the homestead it would be nice to have a clear all button or something. Its a bit tedious to have to tear a house down piece by piece. Aside from that its one of the best games ive played in a while. Oh, and this is just something for fun, but have you ever considered adding a radio feature to the vehicles (kinda like in GTA).
Necesito ayuda! Perd mi cuenta de una tableta Android ahora quiero abrir mi cuenta en una iPad y no us deja necesito vincular mi cuenta de Android a iPad y estoy por un nivel alto.
We love this interactive RPG, but we wish they would make a VR version and if there is, we are going to be forever happy.
The game is great, the graphics are stunning, the mechanics gameplay are good, but putting controller support like the backbone controller and this game will feel even better the gameplay.
The game is great we just started and we enjoy it alot. Only adjustments id say is needs to be able to use our backbone controller to play for even better experience.
We cant even amazing how awesome and complicated this game is. It was very hard to put down and we recommend it to those who like RPG games. We were on it for at least 10000 hours.
We will play more with controller support.
Please please add controller support. This game is amazing and would be some much better with controller support as touch screen can be iffy and not as easy as have buttons on controllers.
We like this game and we were wondering if their is going to be a revenent variant playable character like half zombie half human like playable character. We like the game and wondering what is in store for the future for it & also like to see if the abandon cars and military vehicles on the side of the rd can be claimed in a future update and would like to see it.
First person to download the app: hope the Undawn community has an amazing day tomorrow.
It is a good game but it is also dark you have to watch kids get eaten by a zombie but everything else is good.
Since the new update game very glitchy please fix it we love this game.
Its a blast and very detailed and involved for a mobile game.
This game is so much fun. It would be even better if we were able to use a Backbone rather than having to use the screen, with the Backbone It would feel like you have much more of a real system game playing.
Amazing game but there is something very annoying when we move the screen Im also changing what direction Im going but sometimes our game just lags and doesnt do that also when we walk sometimes they send us to the place we were before we wanna walk nope it just keeps us there but developers if your reading this could you fix those bugs please theres a bright future for this game we know it.
To start Undawn is such a beautiful game on mobile and it really cranks that to another level on any type of pc. The way the game is set out to be is perfectly executed imo. The idea of fighting zombies and players with addition to the many events and designing has you always having something to do. Whether youre F2P or P2W, PvE or PvP you will find fun in Undawn. Yes there sometimes is a feeling of repetition in daily events but its daily events thats the intention. And in most mobile games you will always have a P2W system its unavoidable. Yes it can be annoying but over time the devs have tried making it more balance. In PvP events such as Elite Eliminator and Training Matches players now have balanced stats and it becomes more skill based. As of this writing 10/9 the top player in our server merge is 61k rating we are 37k which is only top 900 and we have hit the highest tier for PvP. Whether youre mobile or pc you can still make it in the PvP side of things. If you queue mobile you will get mobile matchmaking for the most part also one major PvP event every week the finals for it is mobile only so the advantage of playing pc all the time will only go so far if youre not experienced with mobile controls. P2W does not also make you invincible you could have 20k more rating then 3 other people but you will not 1v3 them. There is a ton of skill in the PvP side if youre F2P with skill and play with the metas you will be just fine. On the PvE side of things, we dont know what more you could ask for. Between fighting zombies and a ton of map missions and exploration and building your homestead and upgrading roles there is always something to do even we as a PvP player have spent hours designing and redoing our homestead just because Undawn has a great sense for it and just as the PvP side even a P2W PvE player or F2P has their perks the homestead items are seemingly endless and the devs continue to add more and more new things and from a camp perspective a well rounded PvE player helps so much even in one of the PvP camp events. Speaking of Camps the community you will meet is beyond any community Ive ever met everyone is so nice even in global chats. You can add a roommate to do even more quests and build friendships and unlock even more items. In conclusion Undawn might be the best mobile game Ive played in quite some time. Take it to your pc or labtop and it gets that much better. This review only scrapes the surface of what Undawn has brought to the table. A massive and maybe confusing at times but extremely beautiful and well thought out game beats the cash grab that it may well seem like. With continuous additions, new maps, PvP balancing, endless missions, home designing, a real grind (yes ALOT of grinding if youre fully F2P) and world events (July 4th had literal world fireworks) this game is unlike many Ive played in its genre and theyll continue to push new content out and were only on season 2. If youre hesitant about trying it out Id take that step into doing it right now before the servers hit level 90 at the end of the month and a brand new season and map release. Do not let the P2W side scare you away theres a niche for everyone in Undawn.
Overall the game is great. Would definitely enjoy it better if we were compatible/worked with the PS DualShock Controller. We know you all can make it happen.
Love this game we spend money on it but it started please help it keeps crashing we love this game we spend money on it crashing we just uninstalled it and reinstalled it to see if it works please help us need help our game keeps crashing.
Honestly this games gets a 10/10 our cousin put us on this game an we cant stop playing.
As someone who doesnt write reviews this game needs controller support do it via plug in and play is preferred but will take a Genshin style approach.
Im actually shocked with how well this game is made. Its like a Zombie apocalypse Genshin impact and Im here for it. We came into the game with a very low expectation or performance. Its the best mobile rpg we have ever really seen. We definitely recommend this without a doubt.
Since the new update of the game, our chat is bugging us, how can we fix this problem.
The game is fun and very interesting, we recently just got it and we personally feel the game would be more enjoyable with fun controller support while Im using a backbone on mobile or just casual playing on our pc.
Before it got shut down, we were an Apex lover, and then it shut down, we looked for games and deleted game after game, not knowing that this game would dawn on us . Ive only played for about 10 minutes, but fell in love. It is realistic and super fun, we have to admit that we really dont like games that have tasks, but this game is the best. Only question is, can we possibly go into first person view, we prefer it better, but if not, that is totally fine we are not deleting the game because of that.
Pvp needs to be balanced like this shi is crazy.
So far the graphics are outstanding and the zombies are just awesome and the weapons we only can play when im able to but when we do it remembers where and what we were doin havent got much on the quest still confused a little but so far im loving it opened place still at beginning but heck to still be there still show how good the game is didnt know it was cross platform but im on phone and moving and looking around has no lag or nothin im gonna continue playing till yall take it away cause we love zombies and this is the right game for us thanks.
We love it but we give 5 star on the game but every time undated is coming we need to erase almost everything from our phone please fix that.
We absolutely love this game, but it would be so amazing to be able to play this with our Backbone controller on our phone.
Plz add shoulder aim it will be much better along with the rest of the settings.
This game is so much fun to play.
The game is a lot of fun. We enjoy it and would give it 5 stars if we hadnt already played it under another name. (Life after) but it would seem that everything now is just a near carbon copy of another cross platform by another name. Self similar repetition fed as something new. Im not sure how anyone is getting away with this but evidently no one has any issues with it. So 4.5 stars we says.
We have never voluntarily looked to put in a review. But we really have to say thank you and this game is a class above many.
Undawn is fantastic! To be honest we dont even remember downloading the game but we opened it up one day and fell in love! The game is beautiful, the story is probably good but we skip that usually(not related to the game we do that in every one) it has a lot of options from pvp to pve, fishing, crafting, cooking(lvl 12 already cause cooking is fun lol) give it a try at least and Im sure you will enjoy it. We also like that its not p2p, theres stuff you can buy ofc but not necessary. Anyways, happy gaming! Gretel – 1003 Seinz Hill.
This game has completely taken over our life. Ive never liked survival games with other live people, but this one is the best Ive ever played on our phone.
PVP is laggy, events are laggy frame rates even after adjustments, please update it. Use some kind of game engine like Call of duty mobile pleaseeeeee. Mobile players will never beat PC players.but Mobile is more convenient for traveling. Great game.also RNG is ridiculously hard after spending $200 no lambo at all. Need compensation.
Pros: Zombies, Open Accessible World, there is Always something to do. Our absolute favorite is Homesteads! The Open World is not PVP enabled you can farm resources without being ganked. All PVP is instanced and the reward do not favor Pay2Win in all PvP game modes. There are competitions that do favor pay2win but there are few of them. Cons: As in all MMO Mobile Games it is the norm to expect. Poor return rate Gachas and Pay2Win. 90% of the Gachas are Cosmetic or Homestead Furniture. The Gachas with the most atrocious rates are the ones that can give stats to players. IMO its fair for Free2Play when P2W players pay the highest price to Win. The kindest Communities are Free2Play Camps. The most Toxic Camps are Pay2Win. Whats Fair: Whales or Players with a lot of disposable income are gated to keep their growth in Check. Whales cannot clear a map of other players if they are outnumbered or out-skilled. If you read the critical reviews carefully you will see a bot like pattern and/or players who have not played to the Current max level of 70 as of Aug 24, 2023. They will not give a fair review of the game. Please Try the Game, you will enjoy it enough to make so e really cool friends! Server Experience: Seinz Hills 1003.
We signed up for this game way back when it was first announced and was happy to finally play it. We played from the day it was released then up until about a month ago. The open world is huge and offers a lot of exploration. Theres hundreds of completion items to discover like military crates, journals, picture challenges, etc. You can spend hours just doing those alone. The story is interesting but we mostly skipped out on the expository dialogue, as did most other players we interacted with. Weapons and armor systems are good, but upgrading is a grind if youre f2p like us. Every time we finally upgraded to a new piece of armor or higher tier weapon, the levels increased and we had to get back on the grind to get the newly unlocked better gear. We ended up quitting because the game started to feel like a chore. We wasnt enjoying playing anymore. The daily quests are repetitive and it got tiring doing the same four missions over and over again. The pressure to constantly be active in your camp was another drawback. For once, Id like to play a game like this without having to be in a camp. Wheres the fun for us solo players? The level up system for armor and weapons was just too grindy. We spent the majority of our time out mining resources just to upgrade one or two pieces of gear at a time. It was the same with leveling our character stats. The best we could get ours to was tier B. But just drop a bunch of cash on the in game currency and you could level up easy. No thanks. Im disappointed that we got burnt out so quickly with this game because there is so much good in it. The vast open world and the boss fights are awesome. Its everything else that detracted from the game for us.
Game didnt load for us. Looks great though good job.
Dear game developer and maybe you can make it so we have a horse that we can ride around on battle and like shot from its back and all that and maybe we can somehow befriend a wolf in a task or something but you cant call it the wolf just comes up to you sometimes if you go in that area again.
UPDATE: level 95 now. Silver is impossible to get. You need silver more than you need gold. Honestly. Theres soooo many ways to get gold. But theres no way to farm silver. The rewards arent balanced at all. We get the same rewards at 95 as we were at like lv 40. But everything needed now is like 5x more than it was at lv 40. You need soooo many armor plates and alloys but so hard to get them unless you just fork up $3 a day doesnt sound like much but it adds up quick. Idk bout everyone else but on top of all the silver Im buying with rc we cant afford $3 a day for that too. In august on our budget calculator we spent $192 on Undawn. All of that was for unbalanced rewards given out. Money should be spent more on outfits and charisma. Make better outfits people wanna buy. Then give us enough rewards to do most everything else. No complaints really other than severe weather events for supplys, homestead garden and boss not running every 4 hours for people of all time zones. We cant maximize the gains because of they run only for 1-2 times a day and usually around 12-1pm central or 6-7pm central daily. If youre busy at those which most people are you cant hit the 20 supply cap max which is a huge loss to players. Free supplies are everything. Because who has 4 hours to spend farming supplies. We know we dont. Everything else is awesome. Add more content for 24 hours too please. We rotate nights and days. If Im on nights we miss every event.
We really do hope controllers are supported eventually because we really enjoy playing these type of games with our backbone, but unfortunately we really only see ourselves playing this on our PC if we can't really use our backbone reliably on our phone.
