Last War Survival introductory game

The base buildings either increase the production of resources or are used for military upgrades and administration.

What is the aim of Last War Survival?

Aim of Last War Survival is to inexorably expand your base over the course of the season, constantly strengthen your team and fight for valuable rewards in PvE and PvP modes. The game combines building, strategy and tower defense elements with intense endless battles and competitions against other players. Each season (such as Season 1 - The Crimson Plague) brings new challenges, rewards and map mechanics. Your goal is to win through Tactical gameplay, strong alliance play and clever resource management to be one of the dominant players of the season - including exclusive rewards.

The following is a brief summary of the key objectives of Last War Survival:

1. build and continuously expand the basis

You start with a small, destroyed base. By liberating sectors, constructing new buildings (e.g. farms, barracks, research centers) and upgrading your infrastructure, you make your base more resilient and productive.

2. research and technology

Research is crucial to improve your economy, military strength and resistance to the zombie virus - especially in seasonal content such as "The Crimson Plague". You develop virus resistance, strengthen your heroes and unlock new tactical possibilities.

3. fight zombie hordes (PvE)

In PvE mode, you defend your base against ever-increasing waves of zombies. In "Survival Mode", your troops compete against zombies in endless battles that yield rewards and resources - the further you get, the better.

4. build up heroes & troops

You recruit legendary heroes (via recruitment systems or tickets), collect equipment and develop their skills. You can also improve troops and vehicles to stand up to stronger enemies.

5. join the alliance & grow together

The game places great emphasis on Alliance game. Together with other players, you capture cities and military bases, defend territories, benefit from shared technologies and take part in events such as "City Wars" (city and land conquests).

6. dominate PvP & rankings

PvP modes such as Arena, Challenge or City Wars are available later in the game. Here you compete with other players or alliances worldwide - for rewards, resources and influence on the map.
