Roguelike Exploration
Western Scaria’s zones are generated randomly for each playthrough, producing unique layouts and enemy placements. Players move through these areas, occupying enemy oil fields and claiming cities for the Revolutionaries.
Random drops of weapons and armor appear throughout exploration, ranging from World War II firearms to modern rocket launchers. This randomness forces adaptation of load‑out and tactics as the player progresses deeper into hostile territory.
- Scout ahead when possible and adjust your equipment loadout to stay prepared for whatever random drops appear.
- Keep your own notes of previously visited locations to help plan efficient routes.

Job System and Fighter Recruitment
Home Behind 2 offers 36 distinct jobs, each with its own talents, stats, and battle skills. Players can recruit dozens of guerrilla fighters and assign them to jobs as they see fit, shaping a team that matches tactical needs.
Assigning fighters to jobs determines combat roles, from frontline assault to support functions. This flexibility lets players construct a revolutionary force that can respond to varied enemy threats and terrain challenges.

- Experiment with different job combinations to discover synergistic skill interactions.

Strategic Real‑Time Combat
Combat runs in real time, but players may pause at any moment to issue commands to teammates. The pause‑command system enables coordinated tactics, timing of powerful abilities, and precise responses to enemy actions.
Mechanized enemies become increasingly dangerous as the player advances, making thoughtful use of pause and tactical positioning essential for survival in tougher encounters.
- Utilize the pause function to queue multiple actions for coordinated attacks.
- Prioritize positioning before engaging heavily armored mechanized foes.

Camp Building and Crafting
Players can construct and upgrade a camp that serves as the Revolutionaries’ hub. Within the camp, tactics can be assigned, food cooked, technologies upgraded, and armor crafted for fighters, providing essential support for frontline operations.
Alongside the camp, players can play to their team's strengths when deciding how to solve problems presented by Scaria's varied terrain.
- Prioritize technology upgrades that complement your preferred combat style.
- Regularly craft armor upgrades to keep fighters resilient against tougher enemies.
