The tactical battles are excellent, but what I really liked is that the strategic side is just as good. Managing the train, your people, resources, where you go next etc all actually matters, and the two sides of the game work really well together. I thought the story was great as well and I just found the whole thing really enjoyable. If I had one criticism, it probably goes on slightly too long. But even that isn’t a massive issue, because if you lean in a bit early on and build up a decent stock of resources, by the time you start thinking “right, I’m ready for this to end now”, you can basically put your foot down and blast through a lot of the later journey with the train. So yeah, slightly overlong maybe, but not enough to really hurt it. Excellent strategy, excellent tactics, great atmosphere and story. Very easy recommendation.

I enjoyed Last Train Home quite a bit. The Good - Very atmospheric; brings you into a part of history that not a whole lot of games do. - Graphics are good enough that sometimes you just want to look at your cool train for a while. - Combat is fun and dynamic. You can switch between stealthy and aggressive approaches, and they both work pretty well overall. There are fun chaotic moments, like when your scout turns a corner and finds a whole enemy patrol, then shoots one of them and runs like hell. Things like machine guns and grenades feel as dangerous as they are in real life. - The train management is cool and engaging. The fact that you have to take care of your soldiers out of combat, and that you have to use the same couple dozen guys to do the shooting and the cooking and fix the train and so on, makes it feel very real. The Not-so-good - Difficulty is a little weird. I played on the default setting, which is sort of implied to be the hardest, though there are sliders with which you can make it harder. The train management was very challenging early on, but didn't really stay that way. It did get hard again for a bit when the weather got super cold, and I suspect if I hadn't been upgrading my train cars for a while my guys might have frozen to death. Combat was occasionally difficult, but you can win like 90% of all the fights by some combination of 1) stealth kills with your scouts and riflemen, and 2) setting up your machine gunner and kiting enemies into his kill zone. - The train management screens are somewhat clunky and unintuitive. - The leveling system for the soldiers is overly complicated. - Multiclassing means there's no good reason to send a medic into combat. Why bring a soldier with a healing skill and a crappy gun, when you could bring one with a healing skill, a real gun, and grenades? The Weird - The game's moral perspective on the Russian Civil War is a little bizarre. Objectively speaking, both sides were pretty horrible and brutal in their tactics. In Last Train Home we see plenty of this from the Reds, but weirdly little from the Whites. It makes you wonder if the devs want to push some reactionary ideology, but the main ideology seems to be...mostly harmless Czechoslovakian nationalism? With a little Pan-Slavism thrown in? Well, sure, why not, but you don't have to whitewash the White Army for that.

As a fan of base-building, pause-and-play tactical RTS games, history, and games with educational value, I can cautiously recommend this one to people with similar tastes. The game has its flaws—and quite a few of them. If you're not interested in the historical setting, you're probably better off looking elsewhere. Pros Pause-and-play RTS gameplay keeps the feel of turn-based tactics without slowing the game down. Covers a lesser-known historical conflict. Does a good job of showing the brutality of civil wars in general. Clearly inspired by games like This War of Mine and Original War. An original take on the "base" concept—the train. Cons After about 30 hours (around Chapter 4), the gameplay starts to feel repetitive. The story deserved more focus, stronger emotional moments, and a bit more cinematic presentation. As it is, it feels rather dry. The individual soldiers could have used more personality to make them memorable. In the end, they become little more than a class and a level. More specializations might also have made the player care about keeping them alive. The AI is extremely dumb, and the game is easy to exploit. Almost every mission can be completed with just two scouts using the distraction ability. Playing this way takes a bit longer, but it also makes the game far too easy—nobody dies, you barely use any ammunition, and so on. The optimal squad ends up being two scouts, two machine gunners, one medic, and then whatever other soldiers you prefer. If you decide to play the game, I strongly recommend choosing a higher difficulty and avoiding this exploit. Either don't use the distraction ability at all, or set yourself a limit—say, no more than ten distractions per mission. I hope the developers continue making historically authentic games like this. The only thing I'd encourage them to do differently next time is to make the storytelling a little more cinematic.

A focused strategic game about a topic which hasn't been explored in games yet. It is a mix of tactical combat, resource management, and "base" building. I enjoyed the concept of traveling through the Russian empire with the Czechoslovak Legions at the beginning of 20th century. They played a significant role in the Czech history but their legacy was kinda buried by decades of Soviet censorship. I look forward to the studio's next game - a followup to great The Guild sim.

This game is so good, but not perfect. As some people say it's very easy to exploit the AI once you have 5 snipers. But you can just not do that and play the game properly. I love the little stories and thd desperation. Really gives great immersion. If you are into tactics and strategy games with a great war story based on real life events to boot. You can't miss with this title.
