The Last Stand: Aftermath

这个游戏最大的敌人其实是自己 无论是炸弹还是榴弹碰一下就没了 还有汽油桶比人家埋的地雷还厉害

Let me preface this by saying I bought this when it was discounted, had I paid full price I would not have recommended it. It is a fun game, like a faster paced Project Zomboid, get in, loot, plan ahead, and as you do more runs your character(s) will become stronger and you will find the game easier even with difficulty modifiers. Coming from PZ, this game was right up my alley and had tons of fun for the price tag. However, I cannot ignore its flaws, which to me are quite glaring. First off, while the paths you take are randomized, the locations you visit are not. You will recognize locations and know what is inside them, and this takes away from the whole "rogue" element. And, there is a certain portion of the map with zombies that act like traps, without going into too much detail for spoilers, almost like a swamp area. I hate this place. The zombie traps force you to move slow, which is hard due to this area also introducing hyper-armor fast-running zombies that will chase you. The "trap zombies" I feel are also cheap, their locations are not shown fast enough when running so often times, they will seemingly pop up underneath your feet. Secondly, for the swap area, the map geometry has gotten me killed so many times. The smallest of craters act as huge hurdles for your character if they happen to walk into it, and without a clear way up, you often have to run around the perimeter to find a way up, again, often times with zombies on you, and spitters that can perform AOE attacks in said craters. Many HECU buildings also have geometry issues, you cannot run inside, you often have to walk. Points of interest can spawn out of bounds, so I'd imagine if you are unlucky enough this can soft lock your run. Sometimes, zombies can become invisible, either not popping up until you are near enough (couple feet) or not all (lost my last run to this). Trader not being valuable until the late game runs, which is when you are also at your strongest and do not need his services. I am well aware that support for this game has probably ended, so I do not expect these to be fixed. TLDR: Although the game has pretty large issues, it is still a damn fun game from start to finish, just be prepared for some moments where you lose runs entirely due to glitches.

I'll try to make this short and sweet. This game has what games are missing now. It might look simple from the outside but it's full of substance. I love that it isn't easy on you. I've been playing on keyboard and mouse and honestly even though its not recommended it's fun! I do miss the customization from Union City, and being able to keep track of your survivors that did the best would be cool, also being able to name and customize them. Also adding more weapons and multiplayer would also be amazing! I rate this game a 4/5 or a 9/10 however you wanna look at it. Thank you for making a quality game. I hope this gets the praise it deserves.

I really wish they had instead done something like the Last Stand Dead Zone but single player like since this does seem like it gets stale quickly. The other rouge-lite that comes to mind is Dead Cells but it had more challenge and content, but the main issue to me is this feels completely different than what the Last Stand has been. For example, Dead Frontier with the ability to build up your character properly without a time limit other than supplies as you head out seems way more like the previous Last Stand game style than this one. It really feels like the best strategy to this game is farm the start area to get points to upgrade all skills quickly since the infection timer is a hard stop no matter what on early runs. Then hope you get well enough RNG to make it to the end while clicking through the soulless story text that pops up which was fine for the flash games but feels out of place here since your choices have no impact. This game doesn't even feel worth getting on sale, even with a bundle of the legacy collection.

过于重复，过于看重运气了。且roguelike缺乏深度

I gave it a chance because I grew up playing all the flash games of the Last Stand but this... This was just atrocious. Felt clunky, I hate that the damn melee weapons keep braking. The stupid exploding guy is stupid because you can seem to get away from the gas. If they came back out with like the side scrolling adventure or the defense style gameplay I'd play this franchise again but this game was not it.

I find the game to be enjoyable/fun. There's something about being chased by a hoard of zombies and bashing and running your way out of being killed, only to beef up your character by being infected so you can get supplies/knowledge to pass along to the next character because you are going to die ... a lot ... and that's OK. You were never going to survive this anyway. "It's not about winning so much as it is taking as many of those undead b@stards with you as you can." - Rick Grimes probably.

I could never find the right balance of graphics settings to make this enjoyable. And while I can't figure out exactly why, something about this game just doesn't feel right to me - but the graphics/perforance issues may be contributing to that.
