Darkest Days is out now, bringing zombie-shooting mayhem to mobile

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 encapsulates the essence of top releases in the genre, bringing the excitement directly to your mobile device.

It's clear where Darkest Days finds its inspiration, as you're thrust into a zombie-infested world where survival is your top priority. You'll need to scavenge for essential equipment and weapons, form alliances (or rivalries), and construct a robust base to withstand the relentless attacks of the ravenous dead.

Numerous games have attempted to capture the thrill of zombie films, with titles like Project Zomboid, Seven Days to Die, and State of Decay leading the pack. Darkest Days builds on these foundations, incorporating many of the mechanics that have made these games beloved, for better or for worse.

Rule #1: Cardio
Darkest Days breaks away from the typical mobile zombie survival experience. While tower defense and strategy games have long dominated this genre on mobile platforms, Darkest Days introduces a fresh approach with its third-person shooting and survival mechanics. Dive into both single-player and multiplayer modes, navigate through various biomes, and utilize vehicles to take on the undead starting from your initial location in Sandy Creek.

Whether Darkest Days will stand out from its predecessors remains to be seen, but it's evident that we haven't yet seen a game quite like it make a significant impact on mobile. With its focus on intimate survival gameplay, Darkest Days has the potential to become a fan favorite in the long term.
