Dawn of Defiance

Dawn of Defiance is Traega Games' Greek-mythology-themed survival crafting game, playable solo or in co-op with up to 4 friends — build structures, craft gear, and fight through the Underworld's Crossroads. It's a small-group survival title rather than a persistent, many-player shared world, so it's catalogued here as a related-but-distinct genre.

Catalog note

Not a persistent MMO

  • Dawn of Defiance is a co-op survival crafting game — small private sessions with up to 4 players, not a persistent shared world.
  • It's catalogued here as "Survival crafting (co-op)" — a related but distinct genre from the persistent-world MMOs this site otherwise covers.
  • It's included in this directory because it's commonly searched for by people trying to figure out whether it counts as an MMO — this page exists to give you a straight answer.

Real MMOs to check out

  • This entry is intentionally excluded from MMOFinder's platform, genre, and catalog-wide statistics, since it isn't a persistent-world MMO.
  • For a persistent, many-player crafting and survival world instead, look at MMOs like Albion Online or New World.
  • If you came here specifically to check whether this game is an MMO: it isn't, by the definition this site uses (a persistent, shared, many-player online world) — but it may still be worth playing on its own terms.
