If you've been eagerly awaiting some intense zombie-slaying and apocalypse-surviving action, you're in luck—Darkest Days is now available on both iOS and Android. This thrilling open-world survival action shooter brings together the best elements from top genre releases, all right at your fingertips.

It's clear where Darkest Days finds its muse—you're thrust into a world overrun by zombies and must fend for yourself. Scavenging for equipment and weapons, forming alliances (or rivalries), and building a base are essential to surviving the relentless attacks of the ravenous dead.

Many games have tried to replicate the chilling atmosphere of zombie films, like Project Zomboid, Seven Days to Die, and State of Decay. Darkest Days follows suit, adopting the mechanics that made these titles so beloved, with all their highs and lows.

Rule #1: Cardio

Darkest Days breaks the mold of typical mobile zombie survival games. While tower defense and strategy games have been the norm, Darkest Days brings a refreshing third-person shooting and survival experience. You can dive into both single and multiplayer modes, drive vehicles, and battle zombies across diverse biomes, starting from Sandy Creek.

While it remains to be seen whether Darkest Days will carve out its own niche among its predecessors, it's undeniable that the mobile gaming scene hasn't yet seen something quite like it. With its more immersive survival gameplay, it has the potential to become a fan favorite in the long run.
