An engaging turn-based strategy game with fun ideas, in which you are constantly nervous because of this game’s version of timers. It is difficult to get rid of the feeling that you are choosing wrong missions and make the game more complicated for yourself by making wrong decisions. The other problem is bugs, especially on Xbox, so it’s better to wait a bit for updates. |

Thrilling in all the right ways, The Lamplighters League is a love letter to the adventure genre in film. It’s a love letter to rogues and scoundrels that made those stories an essential part of our cultural history. |

The Lamplighters League is a hard sell. The technical state of the game is abysmal, and while there are many of ideas taken from across the wide genre, there is really not a lot of things The Lamplighters League can truly call their own. |

The Lamplighter’s League may look like a chance to play out your own pulp adventure fantasy, but it turns out to be an intricate combat puzzle full of synergies and silly combos. While performance can be a bit of an issue and the story fails to leave much of an impact, the core gameplay is fun enough to keep this title memorable. It won’t deliver the instant mainstream appeal something like X-COM will have, but passionate fans of turn-based tactics shouldn’t miss this hidden (albeit slightly unpolished) gem. |

“The ability to swap between characters at will means that it’s easy to get the most from the Action Point system” |

The Lamplighters League’s stimulating turn-based battles encourage you to carefully consider your actions each turn. Use your agents unique abilities in just the right order and you can go well beyond the default number of action points, while taking down entire groups of opponents. |

The atmosphere, the gameplay, and the awesome cast of characters really shine through this absolute gem of a strategy game. A true genre-defining entry and one of the best games this year. |

If its level of challenge is your bag, you’ll have a great time with The Lamplighters League. If not, then the easy charm and likable characters might justwin you over anyway. |

The Lamplighters League starts slow, but its mix of squad tactics, stealth, and pulp adventure soon builds momentum thanks to excellent design of both heroes and enemies. |

The only other flaw to the combat of The Lamplighters League is the limited camera control. Strategic combat requires a good overview of the battlefield, and with the lack of any camera zoom or control over the viewing angle, you are stuck with a static isometric view of the fighting. You can rotate and scroll the map, but keeping track of a large map without any extra controls is cumbersome. It’s not enough to turn me away from recommending The Lamplighters League to any avid turn-based combat fan, but it is definitely a big miss. |

An over-ambitious and technically flawed tactics game that can’t live up to its more accomplished influences. |

The Lamplighters League attempts to deviate from tradition, promoting creativity over power, but ultimately falls short. However, its simplicity puts it into the more approachable realms of turn-based tactical games and is a great choice for anyone looking to try the genre for the first time. |

A strong turn-based foundation and colourful setting held back by grind, blind chance, and a need for efficiency over tactical variety. |

The Lamplighters League has enough meat on its bones to make it a comfortable crowd-pleaser for tactics fans, and the careful integration of its many systems couples with a smooth learning curve to make it accessible to genre newcomers. The game taps into some of the best elements of customization and management while neatly avoiding crunchiness, and the only thing that’s likely to become overwhelming is the occasional drawn-out battle. Simple to pick up and satisfying to master, The Lamplighters League is a polished tactical adventure that carves out a niche with swashbuckling swagger. |

Characteristic, original and engaging, The Lamplighters League is a small pearl that offers an interesting and engaging story, also strengthened by a very valid game design. |

The Lamplighters League doesn’t quite live up to its promise and expectations. There’s a fun mix of real time exploration and turn-based combat, but it’s a step short of the best strategy games of the year – others like Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew have done it better. Given more time and more engaging narrative The Lamplighters League could have been great. It will have to settle for decent at best. |

The Lamplighters League is a solid turn-based strategy game that gives players a good amount of gameplay to sift through. Although the gameplay can get a little repetitive, its ability to continuously offer up new gameplay features or agents is impressive. |
