Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead is a post-apocalyptic zombie survival roguelike game with procedural world generation. It is heavily focused on crafting and exploration.
The game is set in near-future New England after a catastrophic event killed most of the human population and spawned various monsters and hazards.
Surviving is difficult: you have been thrown, ill-equipped, into a landscape now riddled with monstrosities of which flesh eating zombies are neither the strangest nor the deadliest.
Unlike most roguelikes, it has no goal: the player is free to explore the procedurally generated map, clear areas of monsters, work with NPCs, and build shelters and vehicles.
The gameplay is mainly based on day-to-day survival, and the game tracks parameters like hunger, thirst, morale, illness and temperature which the player must manage to stay alive.
There are several other things in the game such as NPC Quests and Secret Structures.
Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead is heavily focused on crafting with many basic necessities such as clothing and food being craftable from raw items that are found lying around.
There are several professions and scenarios to choose from during character creation, as well as a variety of positive and negative traits.
The game also provides the player with a robust platform to construct structures and build/modify vehicles.
The game includes vehicles, bionics, mutations, realistic fire and smoke effects, real-life seasons and a wide array of combat and crafting skills.

this version is nowhere near the most recent release of CDDA, and plays fairly differently from the modern PC release, but this is an absolutely fun app despite this seeing as the alternative is a paid version (which i recommend for its price tag). i've had no issues regarding the commonly stated "screen is too small" bug and i use an iphone SE gen 2, the commonly stated language bug does exist, but the fix is as easy as going into the settings menu and turning the option which says it's in russian, to english (look for "Опции", then tab along to "Внешний вид", then look for "Язык: Русский" and change it to english).
overall an enjoyable game regardless of the language issue which is easily fixable, good game
Waste of time
Don’t say the game works on my phone only for the game to say my screen size is too small.
Downloaded it on an iPad and the same message comes up!!!! How big do you expect my screen to be?
I will not be downloading from this developer again as they don’t reply to messages
Not optimised for mobiles.
All I will say is that this game is not optimised for mobile devices. Conquered moving around easily enough, BUT the system would not let me pick any items up wether I was stood on top of them or next to them. I gave up in like 5 minutes.
Doesn’t load
Just says things in russian which i think says that my phone is too small while the app store tells me it works on this phone
Great
Once you learn the controls the game has loads to it
Bad would not recommend
Game quality is terrible genuinely made better games in year 8 computing class
Couldn’t get past the main menu
I got to the main menu and well.... it was all in Chinese letters and I couldn’t understand how to even start and it had something’s in English but a lot of was in Chinese
Amazing, but crashes a lot...
This game is so in depth and brilliant, you can have hours of fun without putting it down once. However there are a few bugs like sometimes it can’t find a specific spawn location. It could also do with an update to add more things like the pc version has. It could also do with a fix as the game crashes often meaning you sometimes lose lots of progress. Apart from the crashes this game is very good.
Difficult
Takes a while to learn but overall good game
THIS GAME HAS SPRITE CRANBERRYYYYYY
And also a bunch of cool references like fallout references, the thing, Michael Jackson (if a bit op) and a family guy reference among other things... it’s a great game
