Darkest Days Launches: Zombie-Shooting Mayhem Hits Mobile

If you've been craving some intense zombie-slaying and apocalypse-surviving action, you're in luck because 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 from your mobile device.

It's easy to see where Darkest Days gets its inspiration from, as you're thrust into a world overrun by zombies and left to fend for yourself. You'll need to scavenge for equipment and weapons, form alliances (or rivalries), and build a base to withstand the onslaught of the ravenous dead.

Many games have attempted to capture the essence of 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 games popular, for better or worse.

Rule #1: Cardio
Darkest Days offers a refreshing departure from the typical mobile zombie survival experience. While tower defense and strategy games have dominated this genre on mobile, Darkest Days introduces a familiar yet unique third-person shooting and survival gameplay. You can engage in both single and multiplayer modes, drive vehicles, and confront zombies across various biomes, starting from Sandy Creek.

Whether Darkest Days manages to distinguish itself from its predecessors remains to be seen, but it's clear that we haven't yet seen something quite like it make a significant impact on mobile gaming. With its more intimate survival gameplay, it has the potential to become a fan favorite in the long run.
