Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days Review

In this episode of Before You Buy by Gameranx, we delve into the world of "Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days," a thrilling 2D survival game that plunges players into a zombie-infested apocalypse. Reminiscent of the gritty realism of "This War of Mine" and the strategic depth of "State of Decay," this game challenges players to navigate a world teeming with undead threats while managing resources, survivors, and base defenses. Set in the rugged backdrop of Texas in the 1980s, the game offers a unique setting that adds depth and character to the gameplay experience.

As players venture out into the dangerous world to scavenge for supplies, they must carefully balance their survivor's needs, mental health, and physical well-being. Each decision made can have a lasting impact, as the game features perma-death mechanics that add a layer of tension and consequence to every choice. The game's early access status provides a glimpse into its potential, with room for improvement in areas such as stealth mechanics, combat systems, and quality of life features.

Despite its early access issues, "Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days" shines in its visual presentation, atmospheric world-building, and the potential for emergent storytelling moments. The game's developers, Pickpock, have shown a commitment to listening to player feedback and refining the game based on community input. While the game may still be a work in progress, it holds promise for future updates and enhancements that could elevate it to new heights of survival gaming excellence. So, buckle up, grab your weapons, and prepare to face the undead hordes in this thrilling and challenging survival experience.
