NHN Corp's latest release, *Darkest Days*, brings a fresh yet familiar twist to the zombie survival genre on Android. This gritty open-world zombie shooting RPG offers players a unique experience, setting it apart from NHN's previous titles.
Darkest Days: A Familiar Yet Engaging Formula
*Darkest Days* plunges players into a world ravaged by a brutal zombie virus outbreak. As one of the fragile survivors, your mission is to navigate this nightmare and piece together the origins of the catastrophe.
Your journey begins in Sand Creek, a haunting locale filled with desolate streets and pervasive decay. An eerie sense of being watched adds to the atmospheric tension. The expansive map encourages exploration, taking you through varied landscapes such as dusty desert villages, frozen islands, and dilapidated resort towns. As you traverse these areas, you'll gradually uncover the mystery behind the virus.
One of the standout features is the ability to utilize various vehicles. From family cars to emergency vehicles like ambulances and police cruisers, finding and driving these can be a game-changer. Not only can you mow down zombie hordes, but you can also upgrade these vehicles to withstand multiple crashes and swarms.
The zombies in *Darkest Days* are notably aggressive and unpredictable. Their erratic movements and hunting behavior make encounters intense. You can take them down one by one with precision shooting or use explosives in a panic.
Shelter-building adds depth to the survival aspect. You can construct a comprehensive base, complete with facilities and recruit random survivors to help gather resources and support you in combat.
Engage in Solo or Multiplayer Modes
Whether you prefer to go solo or team up, *Darkest Days* offers both options. Join forces with others to battle endless zombie waves or tackle massive mutant monstrosities for valuable loot. The game also includes PvP zones where you can compete with other players for rare resources.
Season 1: Fake Champion Luna
With the global open beta launch, *Darkest Days* kicks off Season 1 titled "Fake Champion Luna." Players can recruit Luna Bloody, a kendo expert, into their shelter. Engage with her storyline to discover why someone with her skills is surviving in an apocalyptic world.
