If you've been craving some intense zombie-slaying and apocalypse-surviving action, you'll be thrilled to know that 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 at your fingertips.

It's easy to spot the influences behind Darkest Days, as you find yourself thrust into the heart of a zombie-infested world, tasked with fending for your survival. You'll need to scavenge for essential equipment and weapons, forge alliances or rivalries, and build a fortified base to withstand the relentless attacks of the ravenous dead.

Numerous games have attempted to capture the essence of classic zombie films, with titles like Project Zomboid, Seven Days to Die, and State of Decay leading the charge. Darkest Days follows in their footsteps, incorporating many of the beloved mechanics that made these games stand out, for better or for worse.

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 devices, Darkest Days introduces a refreshing twist with its third-person shooting and survival gameplay. Dive into both single and multiplayer modes, commandeer vehicles, and tackle zombies across diverse biomes, starting from your initial location at Sandy Creek.

Whether Darkest Days will carve out a unique niche among its predecessors remains to be seen. However, with its more immersive survival gameplay, it has the potential to become a long-term favorite among fans of the genre.
