Last Train Home

The game has some good elements but the overall gameplay is more stressful than fun.

A real-time tactics game set around a traveling train during wartime, combining squad-based combat missions with a strategic train management layer. The tactical missions are excellent, with strong unit design, meaningful stealth options, and satisfying execution of combat encounters. However, the train management and survival systems are comparatively shallow and often feel more like a pacing interruption than an engaging strategic layer. While the campaign structure is generally solid, the pacing between missions can feel slightly slow due to the emphasis on the less engaging management systems. Despite this, the strength of the tactical gameplay is enough to carry the experience through to completion. Overall: Excellent tactics core weakened by underdeveloped strategic layer (3.5/5)

時隔三年二刷不同路線。總結遊戲體驗不好不壞，半價購入會是個好選擇。 關卡缺乏記憶點，儘管後期有出現潛行跟據點防守，可是無法讓人印象深刻，不如刪減部分關卡，減少無謂的作業感。 資源太多，沒體會過飢寒窘迫，也沒觸發過追兵。後期更可以直接無視探索資源點，以最高速列車直達終點。 劇情推進也顯得單調，人物特性跟支線劇情可以有更多互動，可以轉換遊玩心情。 戰鬥也能更優化一些，尤其近戰模式。部分車廂跟火車頭也存在無意義的設計。 滿等偵查兵太不平衡，可以無壓力單兵通關。也因此往往缺乏激烈壯闊的戰鬥畫面。

Huge disappointment for me and in a short amount of hours. When I bought and started playing Last Train Home I was hoping for a more somber or dark experience led by a struggle for resources when combat is so brutal and around every corner. Instead you get an awkward forceful dialogue experience where characters literally say Marvel-movie tier quips and battles go on endlessly as you slowly move around maps boringly stealthing every combat mission. The trainride map is designed in a way that as long as you put units places you will never come close to running out of resources either, and random events essentially "fake" hardships. Or of course get into actual "loud" combat and just dakka+zurg everything because you'll have a large squad and boredom will catch up. I mean I've got 10 dudes and pausing takes more time, so why not just right click everything? It works even on hard mode. If you're really, really, really into the Commandos series of games but you don't enjoy the charm and mechanics in terms of moving around a map and slowly stealth killing literally everything, then this is going to be your favorite game. For me the stealth mechanics were boring and tiresome after just 5 hours and it seems that every battle was catered off of exploiting the basic stealth mechanics rather than loud combat. Use recon's easily exploitable "discover anything" ability, move one person around and slowly kill the very-obviously-choreographed patrol lines. It takes like 45 minutes and it's a chore every time rather than feeling fun. And even when you play loud combat it's very simple, clunky, and lacks immersion or impact. Especially when afterward your troops will be goofily talking or saying quippy dialogue. Aside all of this the train management is abysmal. There's no easy way to list your troops or filter them by basically any metric that makes it easy/quick to manage. It's trial and error for the most part and on top of it you can't rename troops or give them nicknames or even color codes so that you can easily remember "ah, this guy is good at repairing" etc. -- you just have to tediously look through a lot of screens every time if you don't have immaculate memory. I never felt a pressure for any of the resources given unless I was doing it to myself, like thinking I would need more bandages or medkits later. And at the end of the day your time is the main resource. Do you want to spend literally an hour slowly stealth killing everything or fly through a mission but get some troops hurt in like 10 mins? I picked the latter after doing the former two or three times because it was that awful. Anyway, overall incredibly disappointing for a game I thought would really engage with me. A really unique concept but without active grit or immersion to be found and a very boring and chore-like gameplay loop.

Кондуктор! Нажми на тормоза! Вы когда-нибудь управляли паровозом? Нет?! Нууу, что же вы так... Я это к тому, что управление этой игрой такое же интуитивное. Надо поставить пулемёт - ставь. А вот как?..и время тикает, т.е. не успеешь-не будет тебе пулемёту. И противник тебя порешит. Посадил бойца за пулемёт, а как его оттуда извлечь-не понятно. Пока разобрался, что боец от него не отлипнет, пока всех на карте не перестреляет...И так по всей трассе/игре. Игра явно должна быть пошаговая. И фигурки не такие масенькие. Сыро однако. Короче. НЕ РЕКОМЕНДУЮ. Нервы дороже стоят. И видюха чего-то шумит, как тот паровоз...

Ерунда, жаль потраченного времени и денег

Душненько

Good game, wonderful graphics, interesting gameplay, it just sometimes feels like work than playing :)

Real time Xcom with Commandos style mission gameplay. Absolutley fantastic.
