Retrohero The Last Stand, a game that hearkens back to a simpler, yet no less dangerous, time, has arrived on the scene. While the critics are still, well, critiquing, it's clear this one is for the purists, the folks who appreciate a good, old-fashioned fight for survival, you see.
Now, what is this Retrohero The Last Stand all about, you ask, Imagine a world overrun, a land where the shambling undead, well, shamble with alarming persistence. You are the Retrohero, a lone, brave soul, perhaps a bit blocky in appearance, but with a heart of pure courage. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to establish your final stronghold, fortify your defenses, and repel wave after relentless wave of these, these creatures. You'll spend your precious daylight hours scavenging for vital supplies, patching up your barricades, and perhaps even finding new, more powerful, firearms. When night falls, the real test begins, as you stand as humanity's, well, last stand, against the encroaching darkness. It’s a true, retro, test of your grit and your trigger finger.
For those ready to embrace their inner pixelated champion, the controls are, admirably, quite familiar.
To Move, you'll use your standard WASD keys or the arrow keys.
To Aim and Shoot, your trusty mouse will guide your heroic efforts.
To Reload, a quick press of 'R' should do the trick.
And to Switch Weapons, the space bar is your faithful companion, you know.
As for the intrepid developers behind this classic-style conflict, my intelligence suggests it's a dedicated studio known as Pixel Frontier Games. They've clearly poured their hearts into recreating that nostalgic feel, and that, my friends, is a welcome sight.
And the best part, for all you aficionados of enduring struggles, Retrohero The Last Stand is available to play for free on animals-pets. And yes, it's designed to work on both your desktop computer and your mobile devices, meaning you can mount your last stand wherever you happen to be, even on the shortest of commutes, you see. That's the way it is.
