If you've been craving some zombie-slaying, apocalypse-surviving action, you'll be thrilled to learn that **Darkest Days** is now available on both iOS and Android. This open-world survival action shooter encapsulates the best elements from top releases in the genre, all accessible right from your mobile device.
It's easy to spot where **Darkest Days** draws its inspiration. You're thrust into a world overrun by zombies and must fend for yourself. Scavenging for equipment and weapons, forming alliances (or rivalries), and establishing a base are crucial to surviving the relentless onslaught of the ravenous dead.
Numerous 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, blending familiarity with fresh gameplay elements.
Rule #1: Cardio - Darkest Days breaks the mold of typical mobile zombie survival games. While tower defense and strategy games have traditionally dominated this genre on mobile, Darkest Days introduces a refreshing third-person shooting and survival experience. You can dive into both single-player and multiplayer modes, drive vehicles, and confront zombies across various biomes, starting from your initial location in Sandy Creek.
Although it remains to be seen whether **Darkest Days** will distinguish itself from its predecessors, it's clear that we haven't yet seen a game quite like it on mobile. With its more intimate survival gameplay, it has the potential to become a fan favorite over time.
