But instead of aid, he found himself cast away, thrown to the slums with the other survivors: the mutants. Now, enemy to both sides, he sets off on a journey to harness a hidden power within…

Dark Dawn successfully combines the old and the new, as a 2D side-scroller action game with modern, stylistic graphics. It boasts a wide variety of locations, weapons and enemies. All of these are affected by a unique Day/Night mechanic that mirrors the time zone of the player. When played at night, the game is more difficult, with the mutants becoming stronger and ammo and power-ups appearing less frequently. Korak can collect money to upgrade his weapons and gain passive abilities to defeat the horde of mutants.
