'Last Train Home' Gets Deluxe Edition, Explains Train Customization/Upgrades - Trailer

by Rainier on Nov. 21, 2023 @ 10:30 a.m. PST

Last Train Home is a World War I survival RTS where players command a legion of soldiers who are desperately trying to make their way home amidst the chaos of civil war.

The Great War is over, but the fight continues. Command a legion of soldiers who are desperately trying to make their way home amidst the chaos of civil war. Lead them through the unforgiving wilderness onboard an armored train. Manage your crew and resources and try to survive.

Venture into an unforgiving landscape aboard an armored train, traversing the perilous frozen expanse of Siberia. Your journey will bring your men to their limits as you face relentless challenges and make life-or-death decisions at every turn. In this gripping tale, survival hinges upon your tactical prowess, astute resource management, and honed combat skills. Will you lead your crew to salvation?

Last Train Home offers a meticulously crafted world, designed to immerse players in the somber atmosphere of post-war Russia. The haunting landscapes of icy plains, tattered cities, and war-torn villages will serve as the backdrop to your odyssey. Engage in strategic real-time battles, use cunning tactics to outmaneuver adversaries, and secure your soldiers' survival. Every choice you make will carry weight, shaping the fate of your men and determining whether they will ever see their homeland again.

A small city on wheels - that's what the armored train is for the Legionnaires. Beyond being a means of transportation, it functions as a mobile home base.

Unleash its true power by enhancing both the carriages and locomotive, ensuring its peak performance and durability. 

In the hospital car, doctors tend to the wounded and sick, while in the kitchen car, cooks can provide essential sustenance. Workshops are dedicated to preparing ammunition or crafting warm clothing.

Players must diligently care for the train, conducting repairs, making improvements, and acquiring new cars to unlock its full range of capabilities.

Without your train, all hope fades, and the suffering and loss of all those under your command will have been in vain.

Digital Deluxe Edition & Launch Discount

With the release of Last Train Home just around the corner, it's time to discuss a special discount for all passengers boarding the train during its first week: From November 28th to December 5th, 2023, Last Train Home will be available at a 15% discount, bringing the price down from the regular SRP of $39.99 / €39.99 / £34.99 to only $33.99 / €33.99 / £29.75—cheaper than most actual train tickets, we assume.


Also taking advantage of the week-long discount is the Digital Deluxe Edition. For $54.99 / €54.99 / £47.99 (minus 15% in the first week, i.e., $46.74 / €46.74 / £40.79), you will receive the first DLC of the game, the aptly named Legion Tales, upon its release. This DLC promises an immersive encounter with the Czechoslovak Legionaries through a set of exclusive replayable real-time missions. Stay tuned for more detailed DLC insights! Additionally, the Digital Deluxe Edition includes the official digital soundtrack and Last Train Home's art book.
