If you've been eagerly awaiting some intense zombie-slaying and apocalypse-surviving action, you'll be thrilled to know that Darkest Days is now available on iOS and Android. This open-world survival action shooter combines the best elements from top releases in the genre, all accessible right in the palm of your hand.
It's easy to see where Darkest Days draws its inspiration. You're thrust into the heart of a zombie-infested world, left to fend for yourself. Your survival depends on scavenging for equipment and weapons, forming alliances (or rivalries), and constructing a base to withstand the relentless attacks of the ravenous dead.
Numerous games have attempted to replicate the thrill of zombie films, such as Project Zomboid, Seven Days to Die, and State of Decay. Darkest Days follows suit, incorporating many of the popular mechanics from these titles, for better or worse.
**Rule #1: Cardio** - Darkest Days breaks away from the conventional mobile zombie survival experience. While tower defense and strategy games have typically dominated this genre on mobile, Darkest Days offers a refreshing shift to third-person shooting and survival. You can dive into both single-player and multiplayer modes, utilize vehicles, and confront zombies across a variety of biomes, starting from Sandy Creek.
Whether Darkest Days can distinguish itself from its predecessors remains to be seen. However, it's clear that we haven't yet seen something quite like it make a significant impact on mobile platforms. With its more intimate survival gameplay, it has the potential to become a fan favorite in the long run.
