Reviews for "The Last Stand."
Ach memories, still good game!
This game is so revolutionary at its time and it is incredibly fun to play when you want to play a casual zombie shooter game. I got to say the details in this game is so good that it immersed me the very first second I fired my weapon. It is short however so if you are waiting for your rice to cook, or to simply pass the time; this game is for you. If you are still searching for games like this. Last Stand 2 is a great sequel and it adds more features that spices up the gameplay more. This game has aged well and is still one of my favorites in Newgrounds.
Still as good as I remember. Once you have the Barret, you're pretty much going to obliterate zombies! The rifle is powerful, but once you have the M4 and the AK47, you can mow down zombies enmasse!
I still got the skills to beat this game!
I wonder if the devs will ever make a zombie survival game in the vein of 7days to die or Ark survival evolved? Where you can build your own base, and can defend it from zombies.
Overall, this game is fan-fucking-tastic! A great game that defined the era beautifully for flash games
I beat the game 90%+ of the time without cheat with this strategy:
- Day 1-2, Dedicate 7 hours per day to find survivors (usually will get 2); repair barricade as required.
- Day 3-4, Once you have 3-4 additional survivors (they help with hordes and cut down time on repairs), start looking for weapons, but put at least 4-5h per day to find survivors to replenish lost ones.
- Day 4-11, use UMP45 as primary. You want to keep 6-7 survivors.
- Day 12, usually get rifle (the best weapon). You can keep finding other weapons for curiosity, but keep using that darn rifle as that is how you win your game!
Night horde tips:
- ALWAYS take out the fastest ones first, then the closest ones. Key is to remove them before they accumulate by the barricades and cause damage. That way you don’t really have to repair much.
- I seldom have to switch weapon during a horde. My usual primary weapon as the game progresses: default pistol –.357 revolver –UMP45 –rifle. You usually find the rifle which is the best weapon before M4A1 and AK47. Chainsaw is a good backup for when zombies accumulate by the barricades (it should seldom happen).
- Initial hordes: aim for head. Aim for legs for soldiers/police/fatties.
- With the rifle, aim at the legs when far and the head when close. Rifle is one-hit kill for usual zombies (anywhere) and can down multiple zombies at once. Not sure if it depends on the computer, but aiming the rifle in front of the zombies (instead of right on target) seem to get the best results.
- Do not stand right against the barricade as it hinders movement. Be prepared to go up and down to cover “dead spots”. Sometimes you need to stand a bit lower and shoot "up".
