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 games in the genre, delivering an immersive experience right to your fingertips.
It's clear where Darkest Days draws its inspiration from—you're thrust into a world teeming with zombies, tasked with surviving against all odds. You'll need to scavenge for equipment and weapons, forge alliances or rivalries, and construct a base to withstand the relentless onslaught of the undead.
Many games have attempted to capture the essence of zombie films, with titles like Project Zomboid, Seven Days to Die, and State of Decay setting the standard. Darkest Days follows suit, incorporating many of the beloved mechanics from these games, offering a familiar yet fresh experience.
Rule #1: Cardio—Darkest Days breaks away from the typical mobile zombie survival formula. While tower defense and strategy games have dominated this genre on mobile devices, Darkest Days introduces an engaging third-person shooting and survival experience. You can dive into both single-player and multiplayer modes, commandeer vehicles, and confront zombies across various biomes, starting from your initial base at Sandy Creek.
Whether Darkest Days can distinguish itself from its predecessors remains to be seen, but it's safe to say that we haven't encountered a game quite like this on mobile yet. With its more intimate survival gameplay, it has the potential to become a fan favorite in the long run.
If you're eager to battle the ravenous, brain-hungry undead beyond Darkest Days, be sure to explore our curated lists of the top 20+ zombie-themed games available on iOS and Android!
