There is no app for The Last Stand: Dead Zone on Android or iPhone, and no APK. This edition is played in the browser, and it is built for a computer. It does open in the browser of a phone or tablet and it has touch controls, but it has a lot of interface and we cannot promise a smooth experience on small screens. Other games and apps with similar names exist for phones, and they are not this one. This page sorts out what works, what to expect and how to avoid the wrong download.
Here is the game: open it in the browser of your computer, or try it on your phone or tablet, create a free account of your own and see how it feels.
Build your compound, recruit survivors and head out to scavenge a city overrun by the infected. It plays in the browser and your progress is saved to your account.
In beta: parts of the game may still be missing and errors may appear.
On a computer, The Last Stand: Dead Zone works in the browser with a mouse and a keyboard, and that is the way it is meant to be played. On Android and iPhone there is nothing to install. You can open the same address in your phone's browser and log in with the same account, but the interface is dense and was designed for a large screen, so a computer is the recommended device.
There is no APK and no listing in any phone store for this edition. If someone offers you one under the name of this game, it does not come from us.
The name is common. Searching for it on a phone brings up listings for other games, among them titles called The Last Stand, one called The Last Stand: Union City and others called simply Dead Zone, made by other studios. They have their own accounts, rules and support, and they are not this browser edition.
We do not judge them. We only want you to know which game you are installing. If you installed a different game by mistake, its own developer is the one to ask for help.
Any desktop or laptop with an up-to-date browser will do. The mouse suits the click-to-move controls of the missions, and the keyboard gives you shortcuts for everything else: W, A, S and D or the arrow keys move the camera, Shift speeds it up, the wheel zooms, Space turns a building you are placing and Esc cancels.
In missions, R reloads, Tab jumps to the next survivor, the keys 1 to 9 and 0 pick one directly, and right click uses the active gear. Our guide on how to play The Last Stand: Dead Zone covers all of them.
The game supports touch screens. A tap works as a click, dragging moves the camera, pinching zooms and a long press acts as a right click.
What has not been verified is how pleasant it is on real phones and tablets of every size. The menus are crowded and some features rely on keys, such as R to reload, which you can also do by tapping the weapon, and Tab or the number keys to switch survivor. Treat the touch experience as a beta feature, and do not expect it to match a game designed for a phone.
If you want to try, use an up-to-date browser, hold the phone sideways to get more room and keep a steady connection, because your compound lives on the server. Expect small buttons and a dense screen, and be patient on the first load, which has to fetch the game's files.
A tablet is a better bet than a phone because of the larger screen, though the same caveats apply. The game is in English only, so the labels in our guides are the ones you will see.
Your compound, survivors and progress are saved on the server and tied to your account, so you can start on a computer and continue on a phone, or the other way round. Only one session per account can be open at a time, so close the game on one device before you open it on another. Constructions and the return of your survivors run on timers, so you can close the game and come back later.
The Last Stand: Dead Zone here is only played in the browser. Do not install an APK, a launcher or an app from a video description, a file-sharing page or a mirror site that claims to be this edition. Our page on downloading Dead Zone explains how to spot fake files and why there is nothing to install. The safest way in is the game's own address, deadzone.fbgamesweb.com, or the card on the FB Games home page.
If something fails on your phone, log in and open a ticket from the Support page of the game's site, saying which phone and browser you use. That helps decide what to fix first.
Three steps and you're in.

You play in your browser, with no Flash and no downloads, on a computer and, depending on the game, on your phone too.
Not for this edition. The Last Stand: Dead Zone is played in the browser and has no app. Other games with similar names exist on phones, but they are different games.
There is no iPhone app either. You can open the game's address in your iPhone's browser, but it is built for computers and a computer is the recommended device.
No. We offer no APK, and any file that claims to be this edition as an APK is not ours. Do not install it.
You can open it and it has touch controls: tap to click, drag to move the camera, pinch to zoom and long press to right click. It has a dense interface and we cannot promise it works well on every phone.
No. Those are other games that share part of the name and come from other studios. This is the browser edition of The Last Stand: Dead Zone from FB Games.
It opens in a tablet's browser. The larger screen helps, but the same caveats as on phones apply, and a computer remains the recommended way to play.
Yes. Your progress is saved on the server and tied to the account. Only one session can be open at a time, so logging in on one device ends the session on the other.
Yes. Playing is free. Remember that the game is in English only.
No. It needs an internet connection, because your compound and progress are saved on the server.
