Another highlight for the year 2023 is the real-time strategy mix Last Train Home, which lets you replay the battles of the Czechoslovak Legions and the associated Trans-Siberian Railway. You play the story from the perspective of the occupants of the train.

The train is the hub of the story, where goods are stored, the wounded are cared for, skills are improved and the crew is divided into individual positions. The respective battles are fought on the open field of the respective travel stops, as is familiar from real-time strategy games.

There is no clear tutorial for getting started, all instructions for controlling the game are displayed as extra boxes on the side, so it is advisable to have some experience in real-time strategy titles such as Command and Conquer or Men of War. A high difficulty level is selected by default, but this can optionally be downgraded.

The game offers beautiful, long-lasting story-like depth with lots of tactics and management. The maintenance of the train, the mood and health of the crew so that they do not abandon the journey, and the planning of goods and resources all have to be done at the same time - it seems difficult, but it is not. Although the game is very challenging, it is all the more rewarding when your own way of thinking and tactics lead you to your goal.

Last Train Home is aimed at somewhat experienced players, but beginners who like a challenge will also enjoy it. The mechanics are comparable to classics such as Command and Conquer or Men of War. For all skeptics, there is also a demo to try out on Steam.
