If you've been craving some intense zombie-slaying and apocalypse-surviving action, you're in luck! Darkest Days is now available on both iOS and Android, bringing you an immersive open-world survival action shooter right to your fingertips. This game combines the best elements from top releases in the genre, offering a thrilling experience that's perfect for mobile gaming.

It's easy to spot where Darkest Days finds its inspiration—you're thrust into the heart of a zombie-infested world, tasked with surviving against all odds. You'll need to scavenge for equipment and weapons, forge alliances (or rivalries), and build a base to withstand the relentless attacks of the ravenous dead.

Many 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 builds on their successful mechanics, embracing both the highs and the challenges these games have presented.

Rule #1: Cardio
Darkest Days breaks the mold of traditional zombie survival games on mobile. While tower defense and strategy games have typically dominated this genre on mobile platforms, Darkest Days introduces a refreshing mix of third-person shooting and survival gameplay. Whether you're playing solo or teaming up in multiplayer mode, you can hop into vehicles and explore a variety of biomes, starting from Sandy Creek and venturing further afield.

Although it remains to be seen whether Darkest Days will outshine its predecessors, it's clear that mobile gaming has yet to see a game quite like this make a significant impact. With its more intimate survival gameplay, Darkest Days has the potential to become a fan favorite in the long run.
