Earth's Dawn for PS4, PC and XONE is an arcade action game with role-playing elements created by Japanese studio OneorEight. It was previously released in Japan and titled Earth Wars, but thanks to Rising Star Games was also made available to players in the West.
The Earth is on the brink of destruction as a race of hostile aliens known as the E.B.E. Launches an invasion. They ravage everything in their patch and are completely resistant to human weaponry. Eventually, however, it turns out that the aliens can be harmed with weapons based on their own technology. As a member of an elite team created to stop the invaders, you have to face the overwhelming forces of the enemy.
Earth's Dawn for PS4, PC and XONE is a 2D side-scroll beat 'em up game, similar to e.g. Shank. The gameplay is mostly combat-focused, and to succeed you need to perform lethal combo attacks. The system was designed in such a way that new players can quickly get a hang of the rules, but the difficulty level increases as the game progresses, so there's also some challenge for the more experienced players. Along the way, you gather experience, thanks to which you develop your skills and increase you efficiency. The skills are selected from the skill tree, which allows you to fit your character to your preferred playstyle.
The visuals of Earth's Dawn for PS4, PC and XONE, despite its typical Japanese style, is dark and unsettling. Thanks to many special effects, it looks very well in action and draws your attention.

Video Chums: 7.1 / 10 by A.J. Maciejewski
Earth's Dawn is a solid 2D action game that unfortunately suffers from repetition and irritating difficulty spikes.
Hardcore Gamer: 3 / 5 by Chris Shive
Earth’s Dawn has many good ideas going for it, but unfortunately doesn’t execute them in a way that brings excellence to the action RPG genre.
COGconnected: 88 / 100 by Stephan Adamus
On paper, it’s a generic story but as the game goes on it serves to be just interesting enough to make it give the player some extra drive.
