This game is great. It's just great. I enjoy both XCOM and management sims. It's not incredibly XCOM-ish in that it's not turn based--the combat is pausable realtime--but you have a consistent cast of characters with certain capabilities, they level up, you need to build a balanced team, and when someone you really care about is downed... man. It hurts. At the same time, you need to gather resources and build up your train as you travel. You can build upgrades for the train itself, you can upgrade weapons and combat disciplines, and you can trade at different stops along the way. If you like management and min-maxing, and OH BOY if you like trains even a little, then step right this way. So yeah. Guns, trains, and if you do a good job, trains with guns on them. But the story is pretty good too. You really feel alone and outnumbered. You really feel like you need to take care of this group of people. You need to be clever, and patient, but also aggressive to wring every scrap out of the environment so that your people will be warm, and fed, and have full clips, and get to the end of the line on time. And then halfway through the game you realize that you can steal a tank. I had a great time playing this game. I suspect its appeal is a bit niche, but if you're reading the description thinking, "Hmmm, I bet this is interesting," then you're right. I hope you have as much fun as I did.

Great all around, except for the combat imo. First off, the main point of the game, which is resource management. You control a train, and have several different resources such as fuel, food, ammo, people, and things like metal for upgrades. The whole resource management part of this game is very simple yet very engaging. Send your soldiers out for supply runs as your train powers across the country side on a gorgeous overworld map. This section is a little reminiscent of The Wandering Village visually, which I really enjoy. Although, the part where this game starts to shine is its harsh choices. Can you spare food to a war-orphaned child, or do you keep it for your men as your limited supplies dwindle? A bit like more depressing games such as This War of Mine. Most of the time though, making the "good guy choice" isn't actually that costly, and so there isn't much incentive to be a bastard constantly even on the harder difficulties. The part I dislike about this game is the other half of it. The combat. Its simple and straight forward, which is fine, but the game acts as if you're able to conduct grand strategies that could rival a general. You cannot. Put your guys behind cover and hope they hit their targets. Its fine, and admittedly satisfying, but its SO costly in ammo and medical supplies that you are forced to use stealth a majority of the time, which sucks. And yet, they base so much of the game around it. The stealth in this game reminds me of old flash games, as you literally spend maybe 90 percent of it avoiding HUGE enemy vision cones. Your options include sneaking (which makes you move silently but does not conceal you at all even behind cover), throwing a rock to distract a guy (which is what I spend a majority of the time doing), and using binoculars to see beyond your vision cone. The only thing that really counts as stealth in this game is the fact you can hide in bushes. Every single combat encounter I get into, I groan, roll my eyes, and consider closing this game. If they had ONE more stealth feature, the ability to hide undetected behind cover, I would seriously consider this game a masterpiece. I know this seems like such an odd reason to stop short of giving this game that title, but if you try the combat for yourself, you'll see what I mean. Imagine playing Metal Gear Solid and Solid Snake cant crouch, lie down, hide behind cover, or use any stealth gadgets but the game still focuses HEAVILY on stealth, because thats how this feels. I would argue that maybe 10 of my total hours have literally been cheesing the shitty stealth systems in this game. All in all, this game is VERY solid. A definite 8/10. If you can look past my one complaint, its wonderful and beautiful. It deserves at least a try from anyone who gives it a passing glance.

This is a great example of how to fascinate the gaming community with the history of your country in an intelligent and modern way. The amazing atmosphere of "Last Train Home" will make you follow the plot with bated breath. I would like to see more of this kind of game, where the creators' emotions and passion are so palpable. Dear Czech friends, you have done a great job. Sincere congratulations!

I am Czech. I am a history buff and I love this game. Right up my alley with the mood, theme, gameplay and everything. The live action scenes are absolutely superb and completely absorb you into the story. You will create a relationship with your soldiers over time and the story that unfolds is an amazing experience. Congratulations to Ashborne for creating such an amazing piece of art and game. There are of course some things I would love to see changed or improved. Firstly, the vertical fighting doesn't work well - I got into situations where enemies could shoot me from below, but my soldiers couldn't shoot down from a bridge. Next up are some little inconsistencies with breaking sneaking mode. Sometimes a stealth kill puts you out of stealth, sometimes it won't break it. Same goes with synced shots. Probably my biggest complaint would be the speed of or rather the absence of quick load. The game is sometimes very complex and I just wanna try if something works and load the game quickly if it doesn't. Loading the game takes quite some time. I would also like to rename squads or at least colour them or change icons. This game is definitely worth your time and money even if you're not really into the genre.

Awesome Game. The only game I bought this year without being disappointed. It's just great. The levelling system, The scavenging, the mood. Scarcity. The feeling of the train as a only forward moving basis. The looming treat of starvation and cold or running out of fuel. Watching the train Progress trough the landscape. Meaningful decisions to be made, the mysterious family. I even followed the story. I mean, I played elder scrolls and still have no clue about that story. The learning curve is not too steep, it's forgiving to mistakes in the begin. One easily learns it as one progresses. Neath UI, everything is beautifully drawn and presented. They just got the mood right. Not as dark TWoM. I wish there was a way to extend it. Unfortunately it's over. Totally worth the time and money.
