The Final Moment is a strategy action game that is set in a fictional world plagued by a rare zombie virus. The virus turns humans into flesh-eating zombies that stop at no end until all of humanity is extinct. As the prescribed investigator for the task force, your job is to fortify your defenses so that a zombie breach does not happen. Further, you can also recruit different heroes as part of a special task force whose sole purpose is to reclaim humanity and eliminate all zombies! In this beginner’s guide, we will be sharing some knowledge on the core gameplay mechanics.  

Understand the Gameplay Mechanics of The Final Moment

At it’s core, The Final Moment boasts a more tower-defense style of gameplay wherein the entire battle sequence is automated and players need to interfere manually only to operate the machine gun. The machine gun is a powerful weapon that blasts entire waves of zombies. Players can use this machine on the zombies by simply clicking at the zombies on the screen. The gun will automatically fire rounds after rounds. Keep in mind, the zombies keep getting stronger as you clear initial waves, so you will be needing more than a few guns to keep them at bay. 

The entire city is unlocked after you complete the tutorial. The city has many buildings, each with some use case in the game. For example, the Institute of Biochemistry is developing a cure for the zombie virus. Heroes are the bread & butter for your teams in combat. Heroes come in different rarities, with the highest being Red and the lowest being Orange. The higher the rarity of the hero, the stronger their base stats and abilities. 

The Final Moment is a gacha game and employs a recruitment system via which players can recruit new heroes. The currency is called “Treasure Chests”.  These chests also come in different rarities. The higher the rarity of the chest being opened, the higher probabilities of summoning a rare hero. Each time you open a chest, you will gain points that go towards acquiring the next rarity chest. The different types of chests available in the game are as follows:

• Soldier Rank Chest – 100% chance to obtain soldier rank materials upon opening. Gives 1 chest point for opening them.
• Building Chest – Chance to obtain building shards, orange building shards, purple building shards, and hero shards. Gives 5 chest points for opening them.
• Skill Chest – Chance to obtain skill shards, purple skill shards, and hero shards. Gives 5 chest points for opening them.
• Hero Chest – Chance to obtain red hero shards, purple hero shards, and orange hero shards shards. Gives 10 chest points for opening them.
• Ultimate Chest – Chance to obtain red and orange items. Gives no chest points for opening.

Coming to the battle mechanics, they are quite simple to learn. You will need to build a strategic formation of up to 3 heroes, each complete with their own set of soldiers. Players can deploy up to 3 formations in battles along with their machine gun. The gun can also be levelled up and upgraded to not only increase damage but also improve the fire rate and firepower. The heroes in your formations will act automatically according to their set AI (Artificial Intelligence). The only things in your control are the machine gun and the ability to strategize and organize your formations. 

Learn about the Different Buildings

The Final Moment combines a ton of genres to keep the game afresh and interesting. One of the more important avenues of growth for any beginner remains to be the buildings in your city. Players can reap a ton of resources if they understand the importance of each building along with their uses:

• Playground – Playground is a commercial building that can be built to earn some extra dollars. Dollars are the freemium currency of the game, and designated by the cash icon on top of the screen. They are required to purchase goods, upgrade buildings, and construct buildings.
• Building Center – The building center is the core area from where you can manage all your other buildings. Players can view all of their residential, industrial, and commercial buildings from this place. You can also upgrade and upstar the buildings in 1 click from this center.
• Textile Factory – This is a rare industrial building that generates some amount of dollars each second. The rate of production and output intervals can be improved by upgrading its rank. 
• Convenience Store – This is a rare commercial building that generates some amount of dollars each second by cultivating and selling Lumber. The rate of production and output intervals can be improved by upgrading its rank.
• Institute of Biochemistry – This is a rare building that allows you to manufacture and create serums to combat the zombie virus. A legendary hero, Ada is infected and can be acquired after you manage to collect 12 bottles of serum to disinfect the person. 

Playing The Final Moment on a bigger screen of your PC or Laptop with BlueStacks without worrying about battery drainage is highly recommended.
