Last Train Home: Legion Tales

Last Train Home: Legion Tales is the first major expansion to Last Train Home, a cross between an RTS and a survival game released in November 2023. Like the base game, it was developed by Ashborne Games.

Plot

Last Train Home: Legion Tales continues the story of the base game, about the Czechoslovak Legion trying to escape the civil war-torn Russia aboard the titular train.

The story consists of previously unknown events narrated by the war veteran Zoltan. The player must keep in mind the narrator is unreliable, as Zoltan's memory isn't what it used to be.

Mechanics

Last Train Home: Legion Tales doesn't change the mechanics in any major way. Once again, the game is a cross between an RTS and a survival game, tasking us with completing objective, thinking tactically and managing limited resources.

The DLC adds 10 new missions, each of which tells a different story and is set in a new area. Objectives can be completed in various ways, depending on our playstyle. There are also optional challenges to check out; those are worth doing, as they reward us with currency used to purchase various squads.

The expansion is meant to be accessible both to new players and to veterans of the base game.

Technical aspects

Last Train Home: Legion Tales is a non-standalone expansion, requiring the base version of Last Train Home.
