If you've been craving some intense zombie-slaying and apocalypse-surviving action, you're in luck because Darkest Days is now available on both iOS and Android. This open-world survival action shooter brings together the best elements from top releases in the genre, right at your fingertips.
It's easy to spot the inspirations behind Darkest Days as you find yourself plunged into a world overrun by zombies, left to fend for your life. You'll need to scavenge for equipment and weapons, form alliances or rivalries, and build a base to withstand the relentless attacks of the undead.
Numerous games have attempted to replicate the thrill of zombie films, such as Project Zomboid, Seven Days to Die, and State of Decay. Darkest Days follows suit, incorporating many of the popular mechanics from these titles, with varying degrees of success.
Rule #1: Cardio
Darkest Days breaks the mold of typical mobile zombie survival games. While tower defense and strategy games have long dominated this space, Darkest Days introduces a refreshing twist with its third-person shooting and survival gameplay. Dive into both single-player and multiplayer modes, drive vehicles, and confront zombies across diverse biomes that stretch out from your starting location, Sandy Creek.
Whether Darkest Days will carve out its own niche among its predecessors remains to be seen. However, it's clear that we haven't yet experienced something quite like this on mobile platforms. With its focus on more intimate survival gameplay, Darkest Days has the potential to become a long-term favorite among fans.
