About the game
Get ready for a breathtaking space adventure in The Last Squadron, a cooperative card management game that throws you right into the middle of an alien invasion! When the planet Chimera Prime is attacked by a mysterious extraterrestrial horde, the Human Planetary Sphere dispatches its elite F.T.A. soldiers to turn the tide. But what seemed like a straightforward mission quickly becomes a deadly trap for these seasoned troops. Outnumbered and overwhelmed, the only chance for victory is a suicide mission. If humanity's last squad manages to eliminate every leader of the invading force, they might escape alive and, as a bonus, halt the alien advance. In the game, you face the alien invasion by managing your cards and strategically positioning your soldiers to eliminate the invaders. Each defeated alien grants you immediate benefits, which can be used right away to turn the tide of combat in your favor. The game ends in defeat if you run out of soldiers, but victory is yours if you manage to eliminate all the aliens. It's an intense challenge, perfect for those who enjoy a good tactical puzzle with a sci-fi theme!
