Released on November 28, 2023, Last Train Home is developed by Ashborne Games and published by THQ Nordic. As previously mentioned, it is set during the Russian civil war. Your task is to guide a group of Czechoslovak soldiers back home onboard an armored train.
But as you might already expect, bringing these soldiers home is easier said than done. You have to keep morale up and your soldiers in fighting shape.
The landscape the train is passing through does not make it easier for you either as it goes through the landscape of Siberia. Even worse, danger is always lurking around everywhere.

Steam Reviews for Last Train Home
Last Train Home has more than 1,600 user reviews as of press time on Steam. These user reviews are generally described as "Very Positive" by the platform.
"The story may appear simple at first with the objective of getting your troops back home through the Bolshevik civil war in Russia after fighting in the Great War, but you gradually get more and more invested as it progresses," user Erectus says in a review.
"It is magnificent because you're not fighting for glory or riches, you're fighting to get every single troop under your command back home in one piece after taking part in one of the most horrific conflicts in human history," Erectus adds.
"The combat missions are in real-time, and you can create your own squads with scouts, riflemen, machine gunners, grenadiers and medics," user Ge0force says in a separate review. "The combat mechanics are rather basic, but the missions are very well designed and have a decent variety of objectives."
