DARKEST DAYS 17+

Some games don’t offer enough content while others offer too much. This game does the latter way too soon. This may be a preemptive attempt to keep players happy or to keep them online forever. I for one would like to complete one or two missions before getting more added on and before my toon can handle them. The graphics look fine if a bit dated, the buildings seem spare inside, and the combat is fun (though solo players will find themselves swamped by the undead early on). I prefer soloing so it would be nice if there were a way to turn off invites; the perpetual red dot is annoying. This new iteration of State of Decay and DayZ features the storyline of the first and the wonky controls of the second. It also crashes a lot after using the storage. Since this is Beta it gets a tentative three + stars for now. Some of the issues mentioned may be driven by monetary incentives. I get that devs should be reimbursed for their investment so, in fairness, I’ll add that this is a decent & free mobile game with great potential.

Hello Survivor,

Thank you for your feedback! DARKEST DAYS will continue to provide a more immersive and exciting survival experience for everyone.

It's very laggy and choppy, making it almost unplayable on an iPhone 12. After about 5 minutes of play, you'll notice this issue. You can randomly encounter a nonstop zombie horde, which can occur even during the game's initial mission, likely due to a bug. The AI partner is quite stupid, and the hitbox is either very small or doesn't register correctly. This game is region locked so I can’t play with my friends that live in other countries, would be nice if there were in an invite or join session feature. This game is probably the best open-world zombie survival game available on the App Store right now, easily deserving a 5-star rating (will eventually update rating), but it's filled with bugs that they might fix eventually. Essentially, it's like State of Decay with some online multiplayer features.

Been playing the game since launch and so far, the game is fairly good. The combat isn’t bad but the only thing that may struggle you is the larger numbers of enemies, so the game tries to promote bringing a npc along who often times serves as an aggro role. The base building is good but the game does make weird resource scaling between each level of facility upgrades. The game does an interestingly good job at keeping multiplayer a bit controllable, as someone who has played games like LifeAfter and Undawn and a few others, it feels good not having players bother me every 5 minutes. There is a noticeable amount of lag but lowering settings seems to mitigate it. Overall, a fairly decent game with some weird quirks.
