The Last Stand: Aftermath aims to break completely new ground , offering a fresh roguelite take on the series, whilst retaining the atmosphere that made the original so striking.

Choose a survivor to set forth and explore the ruins of civilization, finding fuel to travel to new locations and gathering supplies to craft weapons and more. You'll need to stay on your toes, since hordes of zombies still roam the streets, and you're no superhuman.

In a unique twist, however, the survivor has been infected and must strike out to make the most of their final days by gathering supplies for those who will come after them, and hunting for the truth behind the renewed danger of the zombie virus, before they themselves succumb. But when one survivor dies, the player will immediately take control of another, who will benefit from the progress made by their predecessors.

The Last Stand: Aftermath looks to pose the question: how much can you give before you are gone forever?

You're going to die, but not until you're good and ready.

Con Artist Games have launched a Kickstarter campaign, looking to raise $50,00, which lets backers support the team as they take on the last leg of development.

Fans will be offered a plethora of ways to support the game with Con Artist Games planning to offer an exclusive beta of The Last Stand: Aftermath directly after the end of the Kickstarter campaign in mid-October.

"Aftermath is a culmination of years of ideas mixed with the series' long history, so hitting all of those notes has been an exciting challenge" said Chris Condon, game director at Con Artist Games. "It is important to us to deliver the best possible version of Aftermath to fans of the series, so Kickstarter makes a lot of sense to help us get to the finish line."
