If you've been craving some intense zombie-slaying and apocalypse-survival 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 accessible right in the palm of your hand.
It's easy to spot the inspirations behind Darkest Days as you find yourself thrust into a world teeming with zombies, where you must fend for yourself. Scavenging for equipment and weapons, forming alliances or rivalries, and building a base are essential to surviving the relentless onslaught of the ravenous dead.
Numerous games have attempted to capture the essence of iconic zombie films, such as Project Zomboid, Seven Days to Die, and State of Decay. Darkest Days follows suit, incorporating many of the mechanics that made these titles so beloved, for better or worse.
**Rule #1: Cardio** - Darkest Days breaks the mold of typical mobile zombie survival games. While tower defense and strategy games have typically dominated the genre on mobile platforms, Darkest Days introduces a refreshing twist with its third-person shooting and survival mechanics. You can engage in both single-player and multiplayer modes, navigate through various biomes, and utilize vehicles to tackle zombies starting from your initial location, Sandy Creek.
Whether Darkest Days will carve out a unique niche among its predecessors remains to be seen, but it's clear that nothing quite like it has yet made a significant impact on the mobile gaming scene. With its more immersive survival gameplay, it has the potential to become a long-term favorite among fans.
