If you've been craving some intense zombie-slaying and apocalypse-surviving action, you're in luck—Darkest Days has just launched on iOS and Android. This thrilling open-world survival action shooter brings together the best elements of 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 zombie-infested world and must fend for yourself. Scavenging for equipment and weapons, forming alliances (or rivalries), and building a base are all part of your strategy to survive the relentless onslaught of the undead.
Numerous games have tried to capture the essence of classic zombie films, such as Project Zomboid, Seven Days to Die, and State of Decay. Darkest Days builds on these foundations, incorporating many of the popular mechanics that made these titles stand out, adapting them for mobile play.
Rule #1: Cardio
Darkest Days breaks the mold of typical mobile zombie survival games. While tower defense and strategy games have traditionally dominated this space, Darkest Days introduces an engaging third-person shooting and survival experience. Dive into both single and multiplayer modes, hop into vehicles, and confront zombies across diverse biomes starting from Sandy Creek.
Whether or not Darkest Days manages to distinguish itself from its predecessors, it's clear that mobile gaming hasn't seen anything quite like it before. With its more intimate survival gameplay, Darkest Days has the potential to become a beloved staple in the long run.
