Replayability:
This DLC adds onto the base version of The Last Stand. Is adds a new playable character class to the game along with new gear and abilities. It shares the same replay value as the base version.
Add ons for this new Hero:
Wargear:
Glyph of Living Metal:
Crypteks often seek to improve on existing Necron technology where they can. This glyph provides additional Health and Health Regeneration.
Nanoscarabs:
In addition to the already significant regenerative properties of the Necrodermis, Nanoscarabs can make the Overlord nearly invincible to minor damage.
Phylactory:
Hundreds of spider-like machines are housed within a scarab-shaped charm and instantly released to repair the bearer’s wounds if he would take a fatal blow.
Raiment of the Overlord:
Ceremonial raiment of the most powerful of Necron nobility.
Raiment of Resurrection:
A Resurrection Orb is capable of raising allies from near fatal injuries. This ancient and powerful device is an iconic piece of technology and only wielded by members of the Necron Regency.
Abilities:
Nanoscarab Repairs:
Instructs dormant Nanoscarabs to begin repairing critical damage.
Phase Shift:
Phase out of reality and rematerialize a short distance away.
Voidblast:
Discharge energy from either the Staff of Light or Warscythe at a target, blasting it backwards and dealing damage.
Mindshackle Scarabs:
Inflict mind-stealing scarabs into the target squad, causing it to fight for your cause for a duration.
Nightmare Shroud:
Fill the feeble minds of nearby enemies with courage-obliterating images of despair causing them to flee.
MGR Gaming’s Conclusions:
The DLC is a tad on the pricey side, considering that it only adds a new Hero to one specific game mode. However, The Last Stand is quite fun and popular to play; whether this is solo with randoms or with personal friends.
The Necron Overlord brings forth quite the powerhouse of wargear and abilities that will more than just turn the tide of battle.
If you truly love The Last Stand or the Necron army, then this is a must have buy for you. This new Hero will really add a fresh and potent mix into the fray. As I highlighted above; There is a lot of wargear and abilities to mix and match up together to create the ultimate death bringer for you!
