Darkest Days Launches: Zombie-Shooting Mayhem Hits Mobile

If you're craving some intense zombie-slaying and apocalypse survival action, you're in luck because Darkest Days is now available on iOS and Android. This thrilling open-world survival action shooter brings the best elements of top releases in the genre right to your fingertips.

Darkest Days draws inspiration from classic zombie-themed games, placing you in the heart of a world overrun by the undead. You'll need to scavenge for essential equipment and weapons, form alliances—or rivalries—and establish a fortified base to withstand the relentless attacks of the ravenous dead.

The game takes cues from popular titles like Project Zomboid, Seven Days to Die, and State of Decay, incorporating mechanics that have made these games beloved by fans. Whether these elements will work for or against Darkest Days remains to be seen.

Rule #1: Cardio—Darkest Days breaks the mold of traditional mobile zombie survival games. While tower defense and strategy games have typically dominated this genre on mobile platforms, Darkest Days offers a refreshing twist with its third-person shooting and survival gameplay. You can dive into both single-player and multiplayer modes, navigate various biomes, and even hop into vehicles as you battle the undead from your starting point in Sandy Creek.

While it remains to be seen if Darkest Days can truly distinguish itself from its predecessors, it's clear that we haven't yet seen a game quite like this make a significant impact on mobile. With its more intimate survival gameplay, Darkest Days has the potential to become a long-term favorite among fans.
