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 brings together the best elements from top releases in the genre, all accessible right from your mobile device.
Darkest Days clearly takes inspiration from iconic zombie films and games, thrusting you into a world overrun by the undead where survival is your top priority. You'll need to scavenge for essential equipment and weapons, forge alliances or rivalries, and build a secure base to withstand the relentless attacks of the ravenous dead.
Many games have attempted to capture the essence of zombie survival, with titles like Project Zomboid, Seven Days to Die, and State of Decay setting the standard. Darkest Days builds on these foundations, incorporating popular mechanics that have made these games beloved, for better or for worse.
Rule #1: CardioDarkest Days breaks the mold of typical mobile zombie survival games. While tower defense and strategy games have often dominated this genre on mobile platforms, Darkest Days introduces a refreshing third-person shooting and survival experience. You can dive into both single-player and multiplayer modes, drive vehicles, and explore various 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, it has the potential to become a fan favorite in the long run.
