About Far Away From Home
Far Away From Home is a story-driven tactical RPG. After a mysterious turn of events during a scientific unveiling gone awry, Simon and his allies initially think themselves lost. However, after a hostile encounter with strange creatures, they soon learn that their predicament is much more dire.
Turn-based tactical combat that will challenge you at every step as you battle your way through unique and difficult encounters.
What better way to make new friends than with food? Recruit these strange creatures to your side with tasty snacks. Utilize their unique abilities to turn the tides of battle.
Build a formidable fighting force by customizing your team to your individual playstyle. Each character can be built in a variety of ways for vastly different roles depending on the skills and stats you choose.
Find and craft powerful gear to further augment your team and change how you wage battle against your enemies.
A joint effort from various nations sees the unveiling of the worlds largest hadron collider, spanning across the globe.
Upon the first demonstration, however, strange rifts start to materialize around the Earth, drawing people into them. After getting sucked into one of these anomalies, Simon and his friends find themselves in a familiar yet unknown world.
Seemingly devoid of all other humans, but in their place, strange beasts, Simon and his friends must unravel the mystery surrounding their predicament and set off in search of a way home.

[h1] !!! ABANDONWARE WITH GAME BREAKING BUG, DO NOT BUY !!! [/h1] DEVS, PLEASE REVIEW BUG REPORT IN DISCUSSION! THIS GAME BREAKING BUG HAS BEEN REPORTED SINCE APRIL 2023 ! The game is not bad, but there is this one bug that ruins the whole experience! I am playing on Steam Deck by the way. BUG REPORT It happens right in the beginning of the game. Once the boxing lady gives the gun to the scientist and they go inspect the body, right after the scientist inspects and say scavengers got to it, the story simply freezes and nothing happens. I took a screenshot of the exact moment and it is in the Discussion thread for bugs. After that, my only option is to skip the cut scene to continue and suddenly I'm fighting wolves and have no idea about what happened or what's happening. Another user called Steve reported this same bug in April 2023. It's the comment right before mine in the bug Discussion thread. According to Steve, this bugs happens 3 times overall throughout the game. It's everytime Simon does some sort of "different" animation. Steve says it's this time I reported, another one right after chapter 10, and then one more time later on. POSSIBLE IMPROVEMENTS • Fix bugs as…20 found this helpful
Hits that spot. With great music and simple controls, The game gets out of the way of you enjoying it. Much appreciated!2 found this helpful
I could recommend it on sale for fans of turn-based tactics RPGs. Fairly well done with some interesting characters and good banter, but limited choices and poor balance results in some grind and limited builds causing things to drag as time goes on. I'd recommend checking out some similar games with more polish such as Tactics Ogre, Disgaea, or Final Fantasy Tactics. +Mouse and keyboard support +Settings, key rebinding +Difficulty options +Art style, environments +Characters, story +Turn-based tactics battles +Music +Variety of skills/abilities +Choices on level up +Party menu banter +Doggo -Achievements disabled for lower difficulties -No voice -Low res character models -Recruitments heavily restricted -Can't rotate map/ blocked views -HP sponge enemies -Very low enemy variety -Some softlocks/freezes -Some characters can't raise HP but use MP as HP -Balance issues increase over the game1 found this helpful
Fantastic game. 10/10 worth picking up Pros - kickass music, decent tactical depth (but not too overwhelming), and a nice story (although you can predict some stuff from mid-game) Cons - bad optimization on Fast mode (game freezes to the point where you need to sign out of your computer and log back in) but easily worked around with frequent saving mid-battle And remember, Claster is best boi <3
Great game and reasonably priced. A charming tactical role-playing game with simple yet interesting mechanics. You'll have to balance your supplies with your need for ring drives. Find the best combinations for each specific map and between characters. Get to enjoy the silly dialogue between tense and serious moments. Battle wolves on this strange planet you've ended up upon. And uncover a sinister force that threatens humanity along the way! All in your journey to find a way home. I recommend it to anyone that has every played and enjoyed final fantasy tactics or Ogre tactics. A fantastic addition to the genre
The story is nice and charming, but every stage are the same enemies over and over but in more annoying settings, and most of those setting makes no sense either. The charm from the beginning quickly fades away as battles become more and more repetitive and frustrating.
