NHN Corp's latest venture into the realm of mobile gaming, Darkest Days, brings a gritty, atmospheric open-world zombie survival shooting RPG to Android users. Unlike NHN's previous releases, Darkest Days offers a fresh take on the zombie genre, enveloping players in a world ravaged by a brutal zombie virus outbreak. As one of the fragile survivors, you're thrust into a nightmare, piecing together the origins of the apocalypse.
Darkest Days Uses the Same Old Formula
Set in a world that has crumbled, your journey begins in Sand Creek—a place of desolate streets and pervasive decay, where you feel constantly watched. The expansive map invites exploration, guiding you through diverse environments from dusty desert villages to frozen islands and dilapidated resort towns. As you traverse these settings, you'll gradually uncover the origins of the virus.
Transportation is key in Darkest Days. You can scavenge and operate a range of vehicles, from family cars to emergency vehicles like ambulances and police cruisers. Once behind the wheel, you can plow through zombie hordes, and with upgrades, ensure your ride withstands the rigors of multiple crashes and swarms.
The zombies in Darkest Days are particularly menacing, displaying erratic movement patterns and a predatory nature. Whether you're taking them down one by one with precise shots or lobbing explosives in a frenzy, the tension remains palpable.
A standout feature of the game is shelter-building. You can construct a comprehensive base, recruit other survivors, and establish facilities. These recruits contribute to resource production and provide crucial support in battles.
