The Last Mission

The Last Mission is a roguelike space strategy game centered on defending Earth from alien invasion. Drawing comparisons to FTL, it blends real-time tactical combat with strategic decision-making across randomized runs. The game originally released on PC in 1987 as an arcade-style action title, though recent coverage indicates a modernized version exists as The Last Mission: Space TD, which functions as an auto-battler and space battle simulator. This mobile iteration has expanded the concept into turn-based strategy territory while retaining the core alien defense premise that remains a recurring fixture in gaming.
