The Last Kids on Earth and The Staff of Doom

About

The Last Kids on Earth and The Staff of Doom lets you play as one of four teen survivors in a zombie-infested town trying to stop a slime monster queen from claiming a powerful weapon. Battle hordes of enemies using each character’s distinct abilities and call in help from summoned allies like a warrior ogre or a talking dog. Upgrade gear, fortify a treehouse base, and customize a vehicle called Big Mama to survive escalating threats. The game blends action RPG combat with crafting and base-building, with options for solo play or up to four people teaming up locally for the story or endless waves of enemies in Horde Mode. The standout here is the couch co-op focus, which makes it ideal for group hangouts. With over 30 hours of main content and optional challenges, the game balances accessibility and depth. Players praise the colorful characters and chaotic battles, though some note the open world feels smaller than promised. Available on PlayStation 4, PC, Xbox One, and Switch since June 2021.
