Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days

Mechanics

Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days is a side-scroller. We are mainly engaged in roaming the city in search of resources necessary for survival, building shelters and rescuing other survivors during the gameplay.... or getting rid of them to loot their possessions. Survival in Walton City is not easy, as its streets and buildings are infested with the living dead; other evil people, who feel like fish in water in this brutal world, can also pose a threat to the heroes. Although we can defend ourselves from individual opponents using found (or self-created) weapons, an encounter with a whole group of them can end tragically for us. For this reason, most of the time we operate quietly, trying not to attract the attention of adversaries; if necessary, we can also escape. Although we unlock new skills as we progress, allowing us to face more and more challenges, we are motivated to take our next steps prudently by the fact that the death of characters here is permanent.

No matter how well we would do, as time goes by, more and more enemies appear in the various districts of Walton City, making it increasingly difficult to sweep the city in search of supplies. In addition, even if we take proper care of the defense of our hideout, as we progress the growing threat from "walkers" will still force us to abandon our current camp and move to a slightly safer place.

Although the group we have to take care of is made up of a variety of people, it is in vain to find among them the "tough guys" known from zombie movies or games. The need to take care of the physical and mental health of our charges also plays an important role here, so that in the moment of trial they are not paralyzed by fear or fatigue.

Technical aspects

Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days features good quality graphics. Above all, the atmospheric locations, often bathed in darkness, are to be liked.
