Home Behind 2 is a sequel to the game ' Home Behind ,' in which the main character, who became a refugee in the country where the civil war began, runs 1500km toward Europe. However, the story has almost no connection with the previous work, and you can play it without any problems even if you have not played the previous work.
The fictional country 'Scaria' is the stage of Home Behind 2. The dictator Acadura has been under oppression in Scalia for nearly 30 years, and the civil war with the people who oppose it has continued for a long time, dividing it into east and west.
Meanwhile, a Scalia female student who was studying abroad in another country returned to Japan with the intention of joining the Revolutionary Army, but unfortunately she arrived at the west side under the control of Acadura.
The hero escapes at the airport led by a mysterious man. He was wandering around Scalia as a freelance revolutionary warrior.
That's why the main character's parameters are prepared, first determine the parameters and occupation. This time, start with the default settings.
Some parameters change depending on the hobby part.
The mysterious man Chris escaped the hero from the airport. Calling himself a 'prince', he will wander around Scaria with the main character.
The home screen of the game looks like this. The purpose of this game is to expand the squadron while exploring the country of Scalia and lead the revolution of Scalia to success. First, click the hero's face icon at the bottom of the screen to display the status.
Below the face icon is an equipment column. From the left, with 2 weapons, armor, and accessories, click the blank to equip, and then click the weapon you want to equip.
If the weapon icon is displayed in the equipment column, the weapon equipment is complete.
With Chris's equipment in place, click 'Start Search' immediately.
To explore, press the D key on your keyboard and the character will move to the right. However, the stage is one-way and you cannot move to the left. Items have fallen on the street and can be explored by clicking on them. Click on the wooden box that had fallen in front of you ...
It exploded and was damaged. You may be able to get items, but be aware that some of them have traps.
'If you have no legs to search,' the main character and his group search for the truck using the tire marks as clues.
I found an oasis on the way. Click 'Collect drinking water'.
The success probability is set for the action options, and a bar appears when you click it. If the yellow bar that moves automatically stops in the green area, it succeeds, and if it stops in the red area, it fails.
This time I was successful and I was able to get supplies. There are various resources such as funds, supplies, oil, stone, wood, iron, batteries, and by collecting them, you can prepare your own equipment, develop new equipment, and improve the status of members. ..
Along the way, you may meet government soldiers, revolutionary soldiers, mercenaries, etc., and of course you can fight against them.
The battle can basically proceed automatically.
During battle, if your character's 'morale' is high enough, you will be able to use special moves. The frame of the hero's icon glows gold, so click the icon and click the enemy.
Then, a grenade (Ryudan), which is a special move of the assault soldier, is fired.
I was able to defeat the enemy.
If you defeat an enemy, you may get weapons and armor.
Enemies are not the only people you meet along the way. I encountered a hunter who was prejudiced and angry with the Revolutionary Army, so I tried to appeal to the Revolutionary Army ...
The result was a big failure. The hunter's suspicion has been deepened.
If you proceed while collecting supplies like that ...
I found a truck. In addition, Harris, the owner of the truck, has joined the group.
The search is complete when you reach the sign on the far left of the stage.
After exploring and returning to home, trucks will be added. Click the icon ...
I was able to decide on the armament and crew of the truck.
Below is a map of Scalia. However, since there is no information, it looks like a sugoroku. By moving to the adjacent squares and exploring, you will gradually be able to see the geography of Scalia. If you move to an adjacent square, you can move by consuming time according to the speed of the truck. After the in-game time, the soldiers will be hungry and the troops will consume supplies, so I want to move as soon as possible. If you run out of supplies, all the soldiers will gradually weaken.
At the next exploration site, I found an unmanned private house.
When I went inside, I found a lot of supplies. Looting from abandoned private homes is painful, but resources are absolutely necessary to achieve the revolution of the motherland, so we will get rid of them.
If you proceed with the search smoothly like this, we will continue to move to the next square.
However, when I moved to the next city by truck, the message 'I encountered an enemy vehicle!' Click 'Battle' ...
It became a battle with an enemy motorcycle while running.
The truck equipment and personnel are poor, but the opponent is one motorcycle, so I managed to get rid of it.
If you win the battle with the enemy, you can get supplies, oil and so on.
In addition to fighting with enemies, mercenaries may suddenly come to apply for enlistment. If you click 'May it be worth it' ...
One more companion.
The unit grows little by little as it welcomes recruitment applicants.
It is possible not only to act as an exploration party for the members, but also to dispatch them to another mission.
During the exploration, I was asked if I would like to help the enemy I defeated in battle, so click 'I'll take care of you'.
If the treatment is successful, it is possible to recruit the soldiers who were the enemy until now to your army.
It is also very important to be sympathetic to the enemy, enlist in your own army, and strengthen your strength.
And in another exploration, you're ready to fight a duo of enemies.
If you check the parameters of the enemy, the 'constitution' of the status related to defense power etc. is considerably high at 8. This is expected to be a pretty strong enemy.
As expected, the expedition was wiped out before the opponent's health was cut by half.
If it is wiped out, the game is not over immediately, but you will lose all the resources and items that you have searched and collected in the field.
Also, when attacked by an enemy, the character's injury gauge will accumulate more and more. As the injury gauge accumulates, the upper limit of the physical fitness gauge will drop, so if possible, I would like to treat it immediately. Treatment can be recovered by using the herbs, antiseptic solutions, bandages, etc. collected in the search, but due to the limited amount, it is not always easy to treat.
However, if you proceed with the search like this, the facilities of the base will be gradually improved, and it will be possible to receive external missions and develop and create medical supplies and new equipment.
When I was searching for something that was going well, I met the following two people.
When I check the status, the 'constitution' is 10, and although the 'power' that is directly linked to the attack power is low, I have a feeling that the battle will be prolonged considerably. Thinking 'This runs away but wins', click the withdrawal button on the right of the center.
However, in this case, withdrawal is not 'withdrawal from battle' but 'withdrawal from exploration', and the resources collected so far in exploration will be exhausted. Rather than withdrawing here and losing resources, I decided to bet on the one who wins by pushing through the number because there are 4 allies and 2 opponents.
This strategy was a hit, and although my physical strength was considerably reduced, I managed to win the battle.
After a while, there was a hut.
'There was some food left in the pot,' he said. I thought, 'If you eat this, you will surely recover. This is exactly what a ship is for migration!' And click 'Taste the food left in the pot.'
Then, the action itself was successful, but ...
The message 'The wound is heavy and does not heal!' Is displayed, and the hero has died.
Since the main character has died, the game is over due to the failure of the revolution.
Home Behind 2 is called a 'roguelike game', but its content is only that the field to be searched changes randomly every time, the battle is almost automatic, there are no action elements or command elements, it is like a social game on a smartphone. A feeling of play. Basically, the content is 'how to manage the unit while managing the few resources obtained by exploration'. However, since there are many elements of replay, there is enough response, and the story swirling with the speculation of various powers on the stage of a dictatorship is profound, and I felt that the music was also very high level.
Home Behind 2 is available on Steam for 2050 yen including tax.
