Zombie RPG Darkest Days Launches on Android

NHN Corp delivers an atmospheric zombie survival experience with Darkest Days - their latest Android release that breaks from their usual mold. This gritty open-world shooter RPG plunges players into a visceral post-apocalyptic nightmare.

Darkest Days Follows Familiar Survival Blueprints

The game unfolds in a civilization shattered by a devastating zombie virus outbreak. As one of the few remaining survivors, you must navigate this dangerous world while uncovering the truth behind the catastrophe.

Your journey begins in the abandoned town of Sand Creek - its deserted streets radiating decay and hidden threats. The expansive map offers diverse environments to explore, from arid desert settlements to frozen islands and crumbling resort towns, each hiding clues about the virus' origins.

Vehicle gameplay adds thrilling variety - scavenge everything from family sedans to emergency vehicles, then upgrade them to withstand zombie hordes and environmental hazards. These machines become crucial survival tools, whether plowing through undead mobs or traversing the hazardous landscape.

Combat prioritizes tension and strategy. Zombies exhibit unnerving behaviors, with some stalking players in unpredictable patterns. You'll manage ammunition carefully, choosing between precise shots or explosive desperation plays when overwhelmed.

Shelter Mechanics and Multiplayer Elements

The base-building system stands out, allowing you to construct fortified shelters with functional facilities. Recruited survivors contribute resources and combat support, creating dynamic community dynamics in this bleak world.

Darkest Days accommodates both solo and multiplayer experiences. Team up to face endless undead waves, battle massive mutants for rare loot, or test your skills in PvP zones where players compete for valuable resources.

With the global beta launch marking Season 1 (dubbed "Fake Champion Luna"), players can recruit the mysterious kendo expert Luna Bloody. Unravel her backstory to understand why such a skilled warrior remains in this apocalyptic wasteland.

Available now on Google Play Store as a free-to-play title. For more post-apocalyptic gaming coverage, don't miss our feature on Once Human Android!
