If you’ve been itching for a new post-apocalyptic adventure, here’s your shot — DARKEST DAYS just fired up its global test servers, and guess what? Absolutely anyone can jump in. Whether you’re gaming on Steam, iOS, or Android, the client is up for grabs and free to download. No regional hoops to jump through, no waitlists — it’s a straight-up free-for-all.
The game’s already climbing the mobile charts, sliding into the top 60 in the RPG category on the App Store. That said, its reception on Steam has been a bit…frosty. PC players haven’t exactly rolled out the red carpet, with a wave of negative reviews calling out aggressive monetization, clunky mobile-first mechanics, and rough connectivity. But in our own test runs, connection was stable and ping wasn’t an issue — so your mileage may vary.
So what’s DARKEST DAYS actually offering? Think classic zombie apocalypse, but with a twist. You’re not just surviving — you’re building. Level up your survivor, kit out your hideout, build a garage full of deadly wheels, and take the fight to the undead. There are raids with towering mutant bosses, and for the more competitive types, a PvP arena where team shootouts get downright chaotic.
Honestly, it feels like one of those games that could go either way — it’s got the bones of something great, but still needs polish, especially for the PC crowd. But hey, if you’re on mobile and just want to squad up and blast some mutants, it might hit the spot.
Tried the test servers already? Got thoughts, gripes, or glorious zombie-kill stories? Let’s talk it out in the comments — we’re all ears.
