The Last One Hack 2013

The Last One is a new zombie survival RPG on Facebook from Russian developer Progrestar. At the time of writing, the game is enjoying a feature spot in the “New Games” section of Facebook’s App Center. The Last One casts players in the role of a customizable zombie apocalypse survivor, and tasks them with completing a variety of different tasks in order to ensure they continue to survive in this dark future. These tasks include rebuilding businesses to provide income of money and food, clearing out infected areas of zombies and hidden items, and taking down powerful “cadaver” bosses in cooperation with other players. There is also a PvP component to the game, allowing players to battle against each other. A lot of the player’s time in The Last One is spent exploring ruined areas of the city, hitting zombies with various blunt instruments and searching caches for hidden items. These parts of the game resemble an isometric-perspective action RPG as the player character walks around and engages in combat. Zombies follow the player around and will attack if they get close, but suffering an attack appears to carry absolutely no penalty whatsoever — attacking a zombie, however, costs a varying amount of energy, as does searching caches or destroying barricades. The fact that you can simply stand still while a zombie apparently repeatedly tears chunks off you while remaining completely unaffected doesn’t do much for the atmosphere and sense of tension created by The Last One game — without any risk of failure, you might as well be harvesting crops in a farming sim or collecting taxes from businesses in a citybuilder.
