If you're a fan of gritty, atmospheric open-world zombie games, NHN Corp's latest release on Android, Darkest Days, is a must-try. This zombie survival shooting RPG stands out from NHN's previous offerings with its unique take on the genre.
Darkest Days: A Familiar Yet Refreshing Experience
Set in a world ravaged by a brutal zombie virus outbreak, Darkest Days places you in the shoes of a fragile survivor navigating a nightmarish landscape. Your journey begins in Sand Creek, a haunting location filled with desolate streets and decay, where you'll sense the constant presence of lurking dangers.
The game boasts a vast map, allowing you to explore diverse environments from dusty desert villages to frozen islands and dilapidated resort towns. As you traverse this expansive world, you'll piece together the origins of the virus that led to the apocalypse.
Transportation plays a crucial role in Darkest Days. You can scavenge and utilize various vehicles, ranging from regular family cars to emergency vehicles like ambulances and police cruisers. These vehicles not only help you navigate the map but also serve as powerful weapons against zombie hordes. With upgrades, your rides can withstand multiple crashes and swarms, enhancing your survival chances.
The zombies in Darkest Days are not your typical shambling corpses. They exhibit aggressive behavior and erratic movement patterns, truly feeling like they're hunting you. Whether you're shooting them down one by one or resorting to explosives in a frenzy, the encounters are intense and demanding.
One of the standout features of Darkest Days is its shelter-building system. You can construct a comprehensive base, complete with facilities and recruit survivors to join your cause. These allies not only help in resource production but also provide crucial support in battles.
Multiplayer and Seasonal Content
Beyond solo play, Darkest Days offers robust multiplayer options. Team up with other players to tackle endless zombie waves or take down massive mutant monstrosities for valuable loot. For those seeking a more competitive experience, PvP zones allow you to battle other survivors for rare resources.
With the launch of the global open beta, Darkest Days has kicked off Season 1, titled "Fake Champion Luna." This season introduces Luna Bloody, a kendo expert whom you can recruit into your shelter. Engage with her storyline to uncover why someone with her skills is navigating the apocalypse.
