Home Behind 2 (v1.0.1.f2)

Civil war tears through Scaria as a small band of rebels attempts the near-impossible task of reaching the heart of a dictator’s regime. Home Behind 2 is a harsh roguelike RPG that trades heroic fantasy for a politically charged struggle of survival, betrayal, and revolution. Set a decade before the original game, it follows Banan, a student returning from abroad, alongside the resourceful agent Prince and the disgraced tribal heir Haroun. The tone is tense and grounded: every mile through western Scaria feels dangerous when government patrols, bandits, starvation, and internal political fractures all threaten the cause.

Players assemble and guide a four-person squad across randomized regions, making choices at story events, scavenging supplies, recruiting allies, and deciding which risks are worth taking. Turn-based battles rely on party positioning, class abilities, cooldown management, weapons, armor, and consumable items rather than simple brute force. Characters develop through different jobs and equipment builds, allowing a group to become anything from a durable frontline force to a rifle-focused team supported by medics and specialists. Death and failure are part of the roguelike structure, but each run offers new recruits, route decisions, encounters, and chances to better understand how the campaign’s systems fit together.

Its strongest feature is the way traditional RPG progression supports a revolutionary war rather than a generic dungeon crawl. Scaria feels like a country under pressure, with its deserts, settlements, military checkpoints, and factions giving the journey a more personal weight than the usual randomly generated adventure. The hand-drawn presentation and grim humor keep the experience readable even when resources run low and a promising squad collapses in a bad fight. Fans of Darkest Dungeon, The Banner Saga, or party-based survival RPGs who enjoy learning through repeated runs should find plenty to like, while newcomers need patience with its unforgiving early hours and tactical demands.
