The Last Stand: Aftermath is a rougelite with a unique concept which keeps each run feeling fresh. Each character, despite having nearly no dialogue, still feels distinct and gives you the sense that each volunteer who sacrifices their life in the name of the community is important.
Richard Allen · Dec 10, 2021 Reviewed on PS5Read full reviewThe Last Stand: Aftermath, the fifth game of the series, is not a masterpiece but doesn’t need to be an enjoyable game. Yes, zombies, by now, are all played out and there is very little one can do to revitalize the genre. But still, this game strikes enough right notes to make something worth your while. The rogue-lite mechanics work beautifully and don’t feel too frustrating, and the fact that you get mutations and that those are useful to your journey is something that is not seen often in these narratives.
RON · Dec 08, 2021 Reviewed on PS4Read full reviewThis is a fantastic return to form for the well-established series after the mess that was Dead Zone. It brings back familiar elements from the first entries in the series while using its newly implemented roguelike aspect to put players in very tense situations where the next decision may very well end in death.
Ule Lopez · Nov 22, 2021 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewIn terms of the survival genre, The Last Stand: Aftermath doesn’t do anything groundbreaking; its presentation is rough around the edges, and its gameplay sits comfortably in a territory filled by countless other zombie-filled survival games. But throw in the roguelike elements and the continual draw to find better gear or unlock better upgrades, and you’ve got a deeply satisfying gameplay loop that will keep you coming back time and time again.
Kim Snaith · Nov 17, 2021 Reviewed on PS5Read full reviewThe Last Stand: Aftermath may be a bit light on its gameplay loop, but there are enough unique mechanics to interact with in this zombie roguelike.
Robert Grosso · Nov 16, 2021 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewThe Last Stand: Aftermath is supposed to be challenging, though, so some of the quality of life mechanics I want to see are probably absent by design. As it is, The Last Stand: Aftermath distinguishes itself from other zombie survival/roguelite games by virtue of its unique new character respawn idea and the incredibly detailed and believable post-zombie apocalypse world it imagines.
Mark Steighner · Nov 16, 2021 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewWhat looks like a simple arcade affair, The Last Stand opens up into a much deeper roguelike adventure. It seems like it’s putting a lot of eggs in one basket, but once it pans out and you get used to it, it’s a very engrossing game. Just don’t get too fond of the volunteers, they don’t stick around long enough to form a bond with.
Greg Hicks · Nov 18, 2021 Reviewed on PS5Read full reviewThe Last Stand: Aftermath is a fantastic roguelike zombie shooter. It’ll make you think, in detail, about every decision, if only as planning is such a key part of the experience. Some games in this genre focus on the need to ‘act now, think later’, but having experienced it this way, going back to old habits is going to be hard. Aesthetically it’s a little rough around the edges, the music is sub par and it’s not scary, but everything else is such a joy that you’ll genuinely forget about the bits that don’t work.
Ethan Palmer · Nov 16, 2021 Reviewed on Series X|SRead full reviewNa The Last Stand: Aftermath som sa tešil, i keď som mal trochu obavy, že to bude len tuctová zombie akcia. Napokon sa ukázalo, že má zaujímavé survival prvky a mechanizmy a v prvých hodinách je radosť objavovať jej zákutia a pravidlá. Neskôr však, bohužiaľ, hre dochádza dych, opakované prechádzanie lokalít je už nuda, príbeh je príliš plytký na to, aby vás motivoval skúšať to stýkrát a bez akejkoľvek spoločnosti.
