League of Lamplighters from studies Reckless schemes this is a big disappointment. The new tactical RPG from the creators of Shadowrun and BattleTech is a financial failure. Publishing company Paradox Interactive estimates losses at $22.7 million.
The game was released on October 3 this year on PC, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S. It is also available on Game Pass. It should perform better on a Microsoft subscription and also has more positive user reviews. But there are only 146 of them, and 73% rate the game positively. On the day of release on Steam, only 773 players played it simultaneously. The PC version is also sold through the Epic Games Store and is part of the PC Game Pass.
“Lamplighter League is a fun game with many strengths. While we are seeing moderately positive numbers of players in the subscription services space, commercial adoption has been too weak, which is frankly very disappointing.” said Paradox CEO Fredrik Wester.
We can only speculate as to why the game failed. From my point of view, it didn’t have as much advertising and it came out during a period of great competition. Unfortunately, no one at Paradox is watching, and the Harebrained Schemes studio may soon be closed. A former employee under the nickname AngryMobofSteve said on the ResetEra forum that back in July 80% fired. The release of Paradox has been confirmed on the PC Gamer server, the number is no longer available.
The development of the League of Lamplighters had to be decided by the management of Paradox. The developers had to submit proposals for new parts of Shadowrun and BattleTech. They should have been rejected by Paradox since the license belongs to Microsoft.
The League of Lamplighters is action-adventure game with turn-based combat. The action takes place in an alternate 1930s. The player controls a group of unique characters with their own pros and cons, both in combat and in a team role. Little by little he learns their stories and the world in which they live. But the main thing is to prevent the cult from taking over the world. He is on the verge of world domination. Infiltration of enemy bases occurs in real time and includes locations around the world where it is important to outsmart the enemy in strategic turn-based battles.
