If you're a fan of gritty, atmospheric zombie games, NHN Corp's latest Android release, **Darkest Days**, should be on your radar. This zombie survival shooting RPG offers a fresh take compared to NHN's previous titles, diving deep into a world ravaged by a brutal zombie virus outbreak.
Darkest Days Uses the Same Old Formula
Set in a world that's crumbling after a devastating virus, **Darkest Days** puts you in the shoes of a fragile survivor trying to piece together the events that led to this nightmare. Your journey begins in Sand Creek, a town with desolate streets and pervasive decay, where you can't shake the feeling that you're being watched.
The game boasts a vast map, allowing you to explore dusty desert villages, frozen-over islands, and dilapidated resort towns. As you traverse this expansive world, you'll slowly uncover the origins of the virus.
One of the standout features of **Darkest Days** is the use of vehicles. From family cars to emergency vehicles like ambulances and police cruisers, you can find and use various rides to navigate the treacherous terrain. Once you're behind the wheel, you can mow down zombie hordes and upgrade your vehicles to withstand more than just a couple of crashes or swarms.
The zombies in **Darkest Days** are not your average shamblers. They're aggressive and move in erratic patterns, making them feel like they're truly hunting you. You can take them down one by one with precise shots or opt for a more explosive approach when panic sets in.
A key highlight of the game is the shelter-building mechanic. You can construct a full base with facilities and recruit other survivors to join your cause. These random survivors can help produce resources and provide backup during fights, adding a layer of strategy to your survival efforts.
