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, all accessible right from your mobile device.
It's easy to spot where Darkest Days gets its inspiration from. You're thrust into a world overrun by zombies, where survival hinges on your ability to scavenge for equipment and weapons, forge alliances (or rivalries), and build a base to withstand the relentless attacks of the undead.
Numerous games have attempted to capture the essence of zombie films, with titles like Project Zomboid, Seven Days to Die, and State of Decay leading the charge. Darkest Days follows suit, incorporating many of the mechanics that made these games so beloved, for better or for worse.
Rule #1: Cardio - Darkest Days breaks the mold of typical mobile zombie survival games. While tower defense and strategy games have dominated this genre on mobile platforms, Darkest Days introduces a refreshing twist with its third-person shooting and survival mechanics. You can dive into both single-player and multiplayer modes, drive vehicles, and battle zombies across diverse biomes, starting from your initial location at Sandy Creek.
Whether Darkest Days will distinguish itself from its predecessors remains to be seen, but it's clear that we haven't yet seen a game quite like it make a significant impact on mobile. With its more intimate survival gameplay, Darkest Days has the potential to become a fan favorite in the long run.
