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 encapsulates the thrill of top releases in the genre, bringing it all to the convenience of your mobile device.

It's easy to spot where Darkest Days draws its inspiration from, as you find yourself thrust into a zombie-infested world, tasked with fending for your survival. You'll need to scavenge for equipment and weapons, form alliances (or rivalries), and establish a base to withstand the onslaught of the ravenous dead.

A multitude of games have attempted to replicate the immersive atmosphere of zombie films, such as Project Zomboid, Seven Days to Die, and State of Decay. Darkest Days follows suit, incorporating many of the mechanics that have made these titles so beloved, for better or worse.

Rule #1: Cardio
Darkest Days breaks away from the conventional zombie survival games on mobile. While tower defense and strategy games have typically dominated this genre on mobile devices, Darkest Days introduces a refreshing blend of third-person shooting and survival. Dive into both single-player and multiplayer modes, take control of vehicles, and confront zombies across various biomes, starting from your initial location at Sandy Creek.

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