Last Train Home is a real-time strategy and tactical game developed by Ashborne Games, released in 2023 for PC. Inspired by the historical ordeal of the Czechoslovak Legion following World War I, it tasks players with guiding a unit of soldiers across the frozen expanse of Siberia aboard an armored train, navigating the violent crossfire of the Russian Civil War between Red and White Army factions. Gameplay operates across two interconnected layers. In the field, squads are deployed in real-time tactical missions with varied objectives, where soldiers can be leveled up, equipped with better gear, and assigned specialist skills. Aboard the train between engagements, players manage the crew in non-combat roles — crafting supplies, tending to the wounded, maintaining morale, and upgrading carriages and the locomotive. Resources are scarce throughout, and decisions made during the journey carry lasting consequences for the soldiers under the player's command.
Embark on a desperate mission through the depths of a war-torn wasteland. Your goal is to guide Czechoslovak soldiers back home onboard an armored train, but the path ahead is fraught with peril. Caught in the middle of a brutal civil war between Russia's Red and White Armies, your unit must remain in fighting shape, managing what little resources you have and maintaining morale at all costs. Venture through the bleak and unforgiving landscape of Siberia, where the freezing cold and the merciless environment will push you to your very limit. Resources are scarce and your crew is exhausted, but you must keep pushing forward. As you journey through the heart of the conflict, the horrors of war will surround you. The fate of your legion rests on the actions of a few key soldiers, as you engage in real-time battles that will determine the outcome of your mission. You must choose your tactics wisely, using every skill at your disposal to safeguard your troops and complete your mission. With careful training and development, your squads will become a seasoned legion of comrades, brothers and sisters, ready to face any challenge that comes their way. The decisions you make along the journey will determine the fate of your comrades. Inspired by historical events, of the Czechoslovak Legion and their determination to return to their newly formed republic following The Great War, this mission will test your courage and your will to survive. The Last Train Home is in your hands.
