If you've been craving some intense zombie-slaying and apocalypse-surviving action, you're in luck: Darkest Days is now available on both iOS and Android. This open-world survival action shooter encapsulates the best elements from top releases in the genre, delivering an immersive experience right at your fingertips.
It's evident where Darkest Days finds its inspiration, as you're thrust into a world teeming with zombies and must fight to survive. You'll need to scavenge for essential equipment and weapons, forge alliances (or rivalries), and build a stronghold to withstand the relentless attacks of the ravenous undead.
Numerous games have attempted to capture the essence of classic zombie films, with titles like Project Zomboid, Seven Days to Die, and State of Decay leading the pack. Darkest Days follows suit, adopting many of the beloved mechanics from these predecessors, aiming to deliver a similar thrill, with its own unique twists.
Rule #1: Cardio
Darkest Days breaks the mold of typical mobile zombie survival games, which often lean heavily on tower defense and strategy. Instead, it introduces a refreshing blend of third-person shooting and survival gameplay. You can dive into both single-player and multiplayer modes, explore a variety of biomes, and even commandeer vehicles to combat zombies starting from your initial base at Sandy Creek.
While it remains to be seen if Darkest Days can truly distinguish itself from its forerunners, it's clear that the mobile gaming landscape has yet to see a game quite like this. With its focus on more intimate survival gameplay, Darkest Days has the potential to become a fan favorite in the long run.
