Dive into the gritty atmosphere of NHN Corp's latest Android release, *Darkest Days*, a zombie survival shooting RPG that sets itself apart from the company's previous offerings. This game plunges you into a post-apocalyptic world ravaged by a brutal zombie virus, where you're a survivor trying to piece together the puzzle of what happened.
Darkest Days Uses the Same Old Formula
In *Darkest Days*, you start your journey in the hauntingly desolate streets of Sand Creek, surrounded by decay and the constant feeling of being watched. The expansive map invites you to explore a variety of environments, from dusty desert villages and frozen-over islands to dilapidated resort towns, as you slowly uncover the origins of the virus.
The game introduces an engaging element with its vehicle system. You can scavenge and commandeer everything 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 rides withstand the chaos of multiple crashes and swarms.
The zombies in *Darkest Days* are not just another faceless enemy; they're aggressive, with some moving unpredictably and hunting you down. Whether you choose to shoot them down one by one or resort to explosives in a panic, the encounters are intense.
A standout feature is the shelter-building aspect. You have the opportunity to construct a fully operational base, complete with facilities and recruited survivors who can aid in resource production and provide backup during fights.
