About game
Fans of postapocalyptic survival will find a gripping challenge in Last Light as darkness consumes the city. You need to manage your train circuits while fighting off relentless monsters during your dangerous railway expeditions. Nika guides you through the initial tutorial stages to ensure your power connections remain stable against the encroaching shadows. Rotatable circuit blocks require careful planning to bridge power from your reactor to essential tools like shields or cannons. Tapping enemies allows you to fire a manual beam, adding an active combat layer to your strategic train management. Upgrading your cargo car and engine in the hangar ensures you survive longer during subsequent runs. Last Light combines logic puzzles with tower defense mechanics to keep your adrenaline spiking.
