The Last Bastion is a survival-management game where you lead an army of defeated soldiers across a setting inspired by medieval India. Fight overwhelming forces, manage dwindling resources and make choices with devastating consequences in a bitter struggle for survival and salvation.
## About This Game
Burdened with the responsibility of command after a catastrophic defeat, you
are forced to flee through a country unraveling before the sword of a ruthless
conqueror. Panicked and directionless, the people turn to you for help as you
attempt to gather troops, resources and companions to mount a desperate
defense.
With the enemy close on your heels, keep moving to stay alive while mustering
your strength, as you make for the last bastion of resistance to stave off
complete annihilation.
Decide where your loyalties lie and what you’re prepared to sacrifice in this
journey to determine the fate of your nation and the legend you leave behind.
## An Unrelenting Foe
Your fierce, fanatical foe is hellbent on complete domination. Relentless as
the winds that sweep their harsh homeland, they mow down your nation’s
defenses and destroy all in their path. Stay one step ahead of the enemy,
whittle away at their forces and race to your Capital to keep it from falling
into their hands.
## Scarce Resources
Empty stomachs and unhappy soldiers can be a recipe for desertions, or worse,
mutiny. As your most valuable resource, avoid squandering their lives in
costly battles. Manage dwindling resources as you build your camp to keep your
troops fed and motivated.
## Choice & Consequence
How will you conduct yourself in a world that’s falling apart? Every decision
shifts your alignments, every action cements your character. Situations must
be dealt with as they arise, and tough choices can have far-reaching
consequences. With multiple fates awaiting your country, how you choose to
play your story matters.
## Unique Strategic Combat
Diversify your army with different types of troops that come with their own
strengths and weaknesses. Maximize their advantages with optimum formations
and deploy them in strategic real-time combat with pause.
## Recruitable Companions
To face insurmountable odds, you need extraordinary talent. Find Companions
scattered across the country to help you in your cause. Each with their own
backstory and agendas that need fulfilling, these steadfast, fair-weather or
begrudging allies are necessary to lead your troops into battle and gain
experience.
## Randomized World with Permadeath
No playthrough is the same in this procedurally generated world. Every run
comes with unique scenarios and death is absolute. With no second chances,
it’s always better to live to fight another day than pick a battle you will
lose.
