If you've been craving some intense zombie-slaying and apocalypse-surviving action, you'll be thrilled to know that 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 right at your fingertips.
It's easy to spot where Darkest Days gets its inspiration from: you're thrust into the heart of a zombie-infested world, tasked with fending for yourself. You'll scavenge for equipment and weapons, form alliances or rivalries, and build a base to withstand the relentless onslaught of the ravenous dead.
Numerous games have attempted to replicate the atmosphere of classic zombie films, such as Project Zomboid, Seven Days to Die, and State of Decay. Darkest Days follows suit, incorporating many of the beloved mechanics that made these titles so popular, for better or for worse.
Rule #1: Cardio—Darkest Days provides a refreshing twist to the typical zombie survival experience on mobile. While tower defense and strategy games have been the norm, Darkest Days introduces a familiar yet distinct third-person shooting and survival gameplay. Dive into both single-player and multiplayer modes, explore a variety of biomes, hop into vehicles, and start your journey from Sandy Creek.
Whether Darkest Days will distinguish itself from its predecessors remains to be seen, but it's undeniable that we haven't yet seen something quite like it on mobile. With its more intimate survival gameplay, it has the potential to become a fan favorite in the long run.
