Other games like The Last Stand: Dead Zone?

[Sketchazoid]

I was looking forward to playing this game until I realized it was nothing like Dead Zone. My wife and I when we first met got addicted to that game and it was something we had a little bond over. So we were both looking forward to Aftermath. Turns out Aftermath is more akin to a roguelike I guess (or that's how it was described to me) and the features I enjoyed about Dead Zone will obviously not be present and the original game was shutdown.

Not that I won't give Aftermath a shot. I played a few minutes of the demo and it seems fine, but I am no where near as excited as I was. So rather then add to the countless threads already asking whether or not Dead Zone will make a return or if they will add in features from Deadzone, instead I would like to ask if there is similar games to Dead Zone?

- base building obviously
- micro-managing
- tower defense
- sending survivors out on missions
- I even liked the whole time gate aspect. A game I could sort of play throughout the day while I do IRL stuff.
- looting, resources, upgrading, etc

It doesn't need to be in the same style of Dead Zone. It could be anything from a FPS to and RTS.

Yes. I enjoy finding unique weapons and armors, craft infamous and legendary gear in Dead Zone The Last Stand. I was hoping it be something similar but with upgraded graphics. I would have been happy if they let us do that but the loot respawn cool down should be faster.

they can auto generate NPC groups where we can interact with. We can visit their base and help out or raid them. Don't even need multiplayer. They can also allow NPC hostile groups to try to raid our base also. That and along with zombie horde raiding our base. So us trying to keep a group alive, building defensive structure and protect ourselves, finding food and rare/unique gear would have been awesome.

I don't like the idea of having my survivor(s) getting killed. I'm one of those people that enjoy developing a bond with my character as I level up him/her to make'em stronger. So when I found out that our survivors are doomed from the start, I just sort of loss all motivation to try this game. I should have watched a demo before buying this game. I bought the bundle so it has the other dead zone games (including union city). I never played the previous dead zone games.

I know there's a survivor zombie game that might not be similar to dead zone the last stand but try Survivalist Invisible Strain. It's available on steam for cheap. It does have multiple players so you and your wife can play it. You can build a base pretty much anywhere. Fence it up and equip your survivors with weapons to fight off the undead and raiders.
You can also recruit more survivors to your group. You can grow your crops to feed your survivors. You can also hunt rabbits for food. Skin it and cook it up.

Thank you everyone for the awesome recommendations. Turns out there were a lot more games like Dead Zone than I thought. Still pretty excited for Aftermath, just with tempered expectations now. :)

thanks for posting this, and thanks also to all that wrote recommendations, I also expected that aftermath was a game something closer to dead zone. I will look into the games that fellow gamers suggested.

You're welcome. Glad I was useful in some capacity, and that there are like minded people.

Dead Age 2. Base management, Faction reputation, Choices, Some branches in story, Looting, Crafting, Party fighting. Game has some flows in balance, like rifles are considered weakest weapon. But overall I liked the game.

nobody said project zomboid? by the looks of it they are very similar

[MrFluffymuffin]

I've played every game suggested. None of them are anything like Dead Zone, yeah some may be similar, but none of them even come close to how dead zone played and felt.

This is the problem I've come across. I played DZ during the beginning back when it was on FB and later in it's life on NG (I really wish I played it more), I've played most of the games everyone reccomends but none of them scratch that specific itch like DZ. Pretty much no game really comes close to the specific *feel* that DZ gave.
