Underworld Gang Wars
What is Underworld Gang Wars?
Underworld Gang Wars (UGW) is a free-to-play mobile battle royale developed by Mayhem Studios, a Bengaluru-based studio that is part of Mobile Premier League (MPL). It was announced in May 2022, when pre-registration opened on Android. The game is built around an explicitly Indian setting rather than a generic military one: it takes place on the fictional island of Dhantara, divided by the river Maya, where two rival gangs — the Velvets, led by Boris, and the Bhokal Toli, led by Tyagi — fight for control of the territory. Map locations draw on recognisable Indian places, including a racecourse, slums, a mandi and apartment blocks, and part of the weapon set is modelled on Indian arms such as the katta. It is worth noting that some third-party listings categorise UGW as a blockchain title, but the studio's own website and store pages describe a conventional free-to-play game; no official token, NFT collection or on-chain asset ownership is documented on first-party channels.
How to play Underworld Gang Wars
Play follows standard battle-royale conventions. Players pick one of the two factions and drop into Dhantara solo, in duos, or in squads of four, scavenging weapons and equipment and fighting until one side or player remains. Progression is season-based, with new seasons introducing challenges and cosmetic weapon skins, and leaderboard performance can earn the in-game "Don of the Era" title. The Android build is designed for lower-spec hardware, listing requirements of Android 4.1 or higher and around 2 GB of RAM, and a separate beta client has been used to test builds and collect player feedback ahead of wider releases.
Is Underworld Gang Wars worth playing?
As a shooter, its main distinguishing features are the regional setting, faction-driven narrative framing and modest device requirements, which make it accessible on budget Android phones. Players arriving with crypto expectations should set them aside: the publicly available material describes cosmetic and seasonal progression rather than earning mechanics, and any "UGW token" claims should be checked against the studio's official channels before acting on them.

Our verdict on Underworld Gang Wars
Underworld Gang Wars is a free-to-play mobile battle royale from Mayhem Studios, the Bengaluru outfit Mobile Premier League set up in 2022 to build a home-grown answer to the imported shooters that dominate Indian phones. Its pitch is specificity: matches play out on the fictional island of Dhantara, split by the river Maya between two gangs, the Velvets under Boris and the Bhokal Toli under Tyagi, across hotspots modelled on forts, ghats, a mandi and apartment blocks, with weapons that include the improvised katta.
What works is the framing and the reach. The faction rivalry gives a genre with almost no narrative furniture something to hang on, and the Android build targets roughly 2 GB of RAM, which puts it on budget handsets that other shooters price out. What does not work is the timeline: after seven million pre-registrations, alpha playtests and a closed beta, the game has spent years in staged testing rather than a settled global launch, and progression is cosmetic and seasonal.
The crypto framing here is a listing artefact. First-party channels document no token, no NFT collection and no on-chain ownership. Treat any "UGW token" claim with suspicion.
