About

In Darkest of Days, players travel back and forth through the annals time to relive some mankind’s most dire hours, when human society was at its lowest points. By fighting through terrible events such as The Battle of Antietam, the bloodiest conflict of the Civil War, and the volcanic eruption in Pompeii in the year 79, the player attempts to save certain key individuals who were never meant to become involved in these truly monstrous events and thereby change human history for the better.

    Yet potential isn't enough to make a game worth playing. The gameplay never follows up on the intriguing premise, wasting its memorable final levels by forcing you to crawl through a dozen dull ones before you get to them. The ideas were there, but Darkest of Days doesn't deliver where it counts.

    Technical problems are also prevalent, and they frequently overwhelm the game experience

    Please do not play this. It is not just bad, it's painful. Sometimes a bad game is worth playing just to see how horrid it is, but I do not advise you try such an experiment with Darkest of Days. It is capable of ruining an entire evening, and I am actually ashamed that I now have an Achievement on my Xbox Live profile that reads, "Completed Darkest of Days."

    Darkest of Days also features very little content - there is only a single-player story mode to wade through that has very limited replay value. This game features a great concept, but poor execution does its worst to keep the game's appeal as limited as possible. Those of you that are very forgiving may have some fun with this game, but anyone now permanently jaded by games like Gears of War and the recent Call of Duty titles should give this title a wide berth.

    La campaña es aburrida y ciertamente breve, no tiene multijugador y se vende a precio de videojuego completo. ¿Alguien da más? Darkest of Days es un triste ejemplo a evitar. Buenas ideas mal acabadas, quizá por escasez de presupuesto o por desidia de sus desarrolladores.

    Darkest of Days partait bien grâce à un concept original et porteur et même quelques bonnes idées. Rien que pour ça, on lui aurait pardonné sa réalisation faiblarde. Mais si on peut excuser ce qui tient à des problèmes d'argent, le reste passe plus difficilement.
