The Last Stand: Union City - A Good Flashgame?!

Hey guys and gals, it’s been a while since my last blog post. I’ve been caught up with school and studying for the PERT (Post-Secondary Education Readiness Test), the entrance exam to SAS (School for Advanced Studies) at Miami-Dade College. With a moment to breathe and enjoy some good old games, I stumbled upon something which I hadn’t seen in a very long while, dare I even say… Ever.

I can say that the way The Last Stand has progressed is worthy of saying that I’d pay to play it. In the first game, your basic goal was to survive x-number of nights. In between nights you could look for survivors, whom would help you during the night, or search for better guns. In the second game, you were able to explore around predefined maps, looking for weapons and such which used up an energy style system, and then during the night you would try and survive. The major point of the first two games was that you were tied to a barricade, which you had to try and protect from the oncoming zombies. In the third game, you play in a side-scrolling style, carrying weapons and using them like in the old games. But that isn’t the best part my friends, the best part is the RPG system which is in this game.

The RPG system in “The Last Stand: Union City” is the BEST one I have ever witnessed in a flash game. The depth and fluidity is just phenomenal, containing no room for argument what-so-ever. All I can honestly say is to go check it out for yourselves. Do not worry though, the three games don’t really have to do with each other so there is no tie-in story to worry about. Enjoy the game and let Con-Artists know that they have made a great game. Thank you for reading and enjoy the game.
