About

Last Stand

Features
Read full description

The outbreak has overrun the city. You're the last one standing — and someone is still on the radio. Last Stand: Outbreak is a fast, top-down zombie survival shooter set in a moody low-poly 3D world. Move with one finger, let your weapon fire automatically at the nearest infected, and hold the line as wave after wave closes in from the dark. A STORY OVER THE RADIO • General Barnaby "Tin Knees" Grubb (ret.) keeps you company from his fortified retirement home — grim, gruff and surprisingly funny • He teaches you to move, dash, throw frags and pick upgrades as you play, and points at the right button every time • Follow his transmissions as you take the city back street by street, and earn promotions from Rookie to General SURVIVE THE HORDE • Walkers, runners, brutes, spitters, chargers, splitters and crawlers — every type hunts you differently • Dash through a closing gap or lob a frag grenade into the thickest part of the crowd • Use wrecked cars, crate stacks and barriers as cover — and shoot red barrels to blow the horde apart • Chain kills into streaks for bonus scrap STREET EVENTS • Supply drops: hold the ring while the crate opens for scrap, gems and a rare-or-better upgrade • Rescues: walk survivors to the Bingo Brigade's van before the dead catch up • Hotwire: start an abandoned pickup and plow through the horde • Blackouts: the lights go out, your torch burns brighter and every kill drops double loot TAKE DOWN BOSSES • Every level ends with a boss wave: Alpha Brute, Twin Runners, Acid Behemoth and Grave Herder • Later levels send several bosses at once • Arrows at the edge of the screen show where a boss is coming from BUILD YOUR SURVIVOR • Pick one of three upgrades as you fight — piercing and burning rounds, faster fire, dodge, extra revives and more • Common, rare, epic and legendary upgrades stack into your own build • Earn a permanent upgrade for every level you clear • Unlock the Shotgun, Semi-Auto Rifle and Automatic Rifle, and upgrade each one with scrap • Open supply chests in the shop for even more permanent upgrades MAKE THE FRONT PAGE • After every run, the Sallowmere Gazette prints a front page about it: a headline, a photo from the street, your numbers and your loadout • Share it with friends straight from the game PUSH DEEPER • Every level demands more kills and hits harder than the last • Earn up to three stars per level with a flawless clear • Five atmospheres: Midnight, Toxic Dusk, Blood Moon, Ashfall and Deep Freeze • A daily supply crate rewards you for coming back MADE FOR PHONES • Quick sessions and simple one-finger controls • Grubb's Radio widget for the Home Screen and Lock Screen: the general's line of the day, your streak and today's supply crate • Leave mid-run and your street stays on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island • Progress and unfinished runs sync across your devices with iCloud • High Quality 3D mode with real-time shadows and bloom, or a lighter mode to save battery How long can you hold the line?
