  Overall, Last Train Home is a difficult, stressful, and wonderful experience. It is beautiful and brutal tale of perseverance and war that doubles as a strategy game. Aside from a few clunky feeling commands on the battlefield and the, easily circumvented, wait-time mechanic on the top-down map, there is really no issues with this gem. Despite the difficulty of the normal game mode, it would be a mistake to miss this train.

  War never changes; trains are always going to be running late, though. Last Train Home lets players experience the trials of band of soldiers on a 9000km journey home. This management game is no walk in the park and considering the subject matter this is for the best. If you’re familiar with RTS games then this is going to hit that sweet spot just fine. If you aren’t familiar with the genre but find the narrative compelling then be ready to play stealthy and fiddle with the difficulty settings. Last Train Home requires time but if you’re willing to persist and jump on the train, then this ride might find space within your real-time strategy game library.

  Last Train Home is a challenging survival/tactical game that will push you to your limits and back. It's a game that sells you an experience, which it unravels through its difficult yet satisfying gameplay as well as its expertly directed cutscenes. If you're someone that enjoys a real challenge, then Last Train Home is a definite must play.

  Last Train Home sets out to do what it wants to do, and that is to tell a story not told before in the Western gaming market. What we are all taught about in school regarding World War I is mostly related to the winning side; this is coupled with a viewing of All Quiet on the Western Front at the end of the curriculum for the same purpose of showing both sides. Seeing a newer perspective shed light on how the war affected different people. But more importantly, Last Train Home is still a videogame; if it doesn’t work as such, it falls into the category alongside 11-11: Memories Retold.

  Last Train Home será un hueso duro de roer para el grueso de los jugadores, pero precisamente ese es su encanto, ofrece un reto constante que una vez superado te dejará una sensación de plenitud emocional.

  Το Last Train Home συνδυάζει με πρωτοτυπία μια προκλητική (αλλά και προβληματική) στρατηγική εμπειρία, με ένα καθηλωτικό περιβάλλον και μια συγκινητική ιστορία. Η καμπύλη δυσκολίας ίσως αποθαρρύνει τους λιγότερο έμπειρους παίκτες RTS, όμως η άψογη δόμηση του κόσμου και το υβριδικό gameplay μοντέλο κατατάσσει το παιχνίδι στα απολύτως προτεινόμενα.
