Eleven months since the roads went quiet. You've got an old fire station, four walls, and whoever's still breathing. Hold the line. DEADZONE: Last Line is a zombie tower defense game built around a base you actually keep. Nothing resets between runs — every wall you patch, every survivor you bring home, and every upgrade you buy stays exactly where you left it. HOLD THE LINE Drag defenders onto the ground beside the road and let them work. Every kill pays scrap on the spot, so you're always deciding: reinforce what's holding, add another gun, or patch the barricade before the next wave hits it. Eight defender types, four upgrade tiers each, and you can watch every one of them change as it digs in. When a wave gets out of hand, call in a RALLY, a FLASHBANG, an AIRSTRIKE or NAPALM. RUN THE CITY Fifteen sectors, each one its own place to hold: a gas station, a strip mall, the docks, a refinery, a stadium and more, alive with fire, water, sirens and smoke. Pick one, spend fuel, and go — fuel refills on its own, so there's always another run waiting. Every sector you clear becomes a permanent scavenging route that keeps sending supplies home even with the app closed. THREE STARS ON EVERY SECTOR Clear it. Clear it without letting a single infected through. Then go back after dark and hold it in Nightfall. Forty-two stars across the city, each one opening a supply crate — and unlocking the colors your squad fights in. BUILD THE OUTPOST Two work crews, eight buildings, real choices. The Barracks buys squad size. The Workshop buys upgrade tiers and unlocks new defender types. Early upgrades take seconds; later ones take hours — the outpost keeps growing whether you're watching or not. A NEXT UP line on the base screen always tells you the one thing worth doing next. A NEW CHALLENGE EVERY MONDAY One sector, one rule, one crate — the same run for every player, all week. Take five different contracts on a cleared sector to master it and its route pays out more, permanently. GO ALL NIGHT Cleared a sector? Send it into Nightfall — endless waves that never stop getting worse, with a boss every fifth one. There's no winning it, only holding as long as you can before pulling out with everything you found. A different rule rotates in every week — sometimes it's just a bigger payout. BRING THEM HOME Every mission has a chance to recruit a survivor, and each one brings a permanent bonus to the outpost. Keep a field manual of every infected you've faced and every defender you can field. FAIR BY DESIGN Every ad is optional and skippable, and nothing is locked behind an ad or a purchase. Every sector can be beaten for free. Gems, recruits and supply crates are optional ways to go faster or deeper; recruits are random, and the exact odds of every survivor are shown in the game. No energy timers.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Wasteland Conquest at none against DEADZONE's shown. DEADZONE's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 177 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
