Last Train Home: Survival Strategy Game Review
Embark on a journey across the sprawling, treacherous Siberian landscape in Last Train Home. Developed by Ashborne Games, this premium game marries a perfect blend of simulation and strategy in one title, highlighted by an intriguing and poignant storyline. In it, the player must guide a group Czechoslovak soldiers through the dangerous railways, with their vessel and solace an armored train. The situation in Last Train Home escalates as the fleeing soldiers find themselves caught between a brutal civil war between Russia’s Red and White Armies. Survival becomes a challenge — the player must manage scarce resources and ensure morale remains high.
The premise of Last Train Home certainly stands out as it’s unlike your typical war-setting game: guiding the Czechoslovak Legion back from the chaotic Eastern front through the turmoil of the Russian Civil War. Its unique blend of survival simulation, role-playing, tactical battles, and historical narrative holds together seamlessly. In an unusual twist, your goal isn’t winning the war — it’s getting out of it. That said, selecting your battles is of paramount importance. As you deploy your squad, the key to victory lies in accomplishing a range of real-time missions, each with diverse objectives that demand combat skills and meticulous planning.
