Today it is worth talking about a fairly well-known series of mobile and flash games The Last Stand: Aftermath. The 2007 version is now available on mobile. The storyline is dedicated to survival among crowds of zombies. But at the same time you need to fight with other players. And now there is a full version for PC and major platforms.

About passing

The actions of the gameplay take place in conditions when the world has been in a zombie apocalypse for 15 years. Of course, the player will have to make all sorts of sorties for provisions. But you need to be careful, because the enemy can be anywhere. It is simply impossible not to look for resources.

The peculiarity of the game is that suicide volunteers are used as the main characters, so after the death of the main character, the player starts the passage for another. These volunteers are already infected with the virus, and there is not much left for them, so they are, one might say, just sacrificing themselves.

Initially, the outskirts of the area are available to the player, and there are a lot of locations. It can be like shops or residential areas, parking lots and so on. You can travel by car and make stops everywhere in search of gasoline. Also in the process, you can look for weapons and ammunition, bandages and provisions, resources for construction and medicines to restore the character.

In some cases, even crafting workbenches come across, for example, you can make bandages from rags and a bottle of alcohol, and an antidote from herbs. Crowbar repairs weapons that wear out over time.

Rare story missions deserve special attention. Initially, you need to find a strange transmitter that is covered with incomprehensible matter, and it needs to be studied in the enclave. Next, you need to find the source of the signal, but first you need to leave the safe area. These territories have not been surveyed, as no one returned alive. But if everything works out, new regions with rare tasks will be available. And the enemies there will become stronger.

Game design for The Last Stand: Aftermath

One for all

Of course, in this game there is also global progress, which is carried out in a couple of ways. For example, during a sortie, you can find documentation that adds knowledge points. And there in the camp you can buy improvements. So the skills in combat are improving. This is an efficient crafting method.

Also, there are large bags in the locations that need to be carried to the car and then supply points will appear. Sometimes the player has the choice to immediately pick up cool equipment or get a certain number of points. They provide an opportunity to purchase various kinds of bonuses, for example, more ammunition in the arsenal or new weapons.

Possibilities

One of the main features of the game is the pumping of each hero individually in the process of outings. This is due to the fact that all volunteers are infected with the virus, and it is constantly evolving, so that mutations appear. And you can pump damage or defense, increase stamina, speed, improve melee combat, and so on.

But each mutation is a step towards the character’s death. There are special injections that inhibit mutations. There are stations on the map where, if you have the required components, you can make them yourself.

It does not do without minuses, but they are insignificant. For example, bugs that do not allow you to go through the rubbish scattered in the room. Sometimes the character falls through the textures. Well, you need to constantly start the game over, it would be better if there was an opportunity to save.
