The Lamplighters League

Description

The Lamplighters League plunges players into an alternate 1930s, a world brimming with pulp adventure, arcane mysteries, and stark noir sensibilities. Developed by the studio behind BattleTech and the Shadowrun trilogy, this turn-based tactical strategy game masterfully blends strategic world management with a hybrid combat system that shifts between real-time stealth and engaging turn-based encounters. The narrative centers on the Lamplighters League, a clandestine organization tasked with safeguarding potent ancient magic from falling into the wrong hands. With their elite agents gone, the player must rally a motley crew of outlaws and misfits to combat the Banished Court, a trio of sinister factions seeking to wield reality-altering power. The mission "Out of the Past" stands as a pivotal early narrative and gameplay event within The Lamplighters League. This "Keystone Recovery" operation is crucial for advancing the player's goal of thwarting the Banished Court and also serves as a significant thematic turning point for the game's ragtag protagonists. Early in the campaign, after the initial training and recruitment, "Out of the Past" presents a critical objective: to secure a Keystone, an ancient artifact essential for accessing the Tower at the End of the World. The player's squad is deployed to a harbor setting, tasked with intercepting a Keystone being pursued by Lord Strum of the Banished Court. The mission’s brilliance lies in its seamless integration of gameplay mechanics and narrative development. It begins with a real-time infiltration phase, challenging players to utilize stealth and reconnaissance within a moody, fog-laden dockyard to thin enemy ranks before combat erupts. The tactical depth then fully emerges in the turn-based combat, where agents must carefully manage action points, utilize cover, and exploit enemy weaknesses. However, "Out of the Past" introduces a dramatic escalation: upon locating the Keystone, players are ambushed not only by mundane soldiers but by supernatural entities, such as fire-breathing mummies, drastically increasing the difficulty and forcing a rapid shift from offense to a desperate defense. This encounter serves as a profound "final test" for the initial recruits, forcing them to confront the undeniable, terrifying supernatural threat and transforming their mercenary involvement into a fight for survival, solidifying their commitment to the Lamplighters League and setting the stage for the global adventure ahead.
