Will definitely be in for this one. Really enjoyed Shadowrun but got distracted by something so never got around to the second one.

 

[The Cockatrice]

Are all modern games going to have Fortnite looking characters? Other than that the small gameplay bits in the trailer, visually look a bit too good to be true. Will keep an eye out on it tho, as I like turn based stuff.

 

[diffusionx]

This looks horrible.

 

[Labadal]

Can I edit the title? (lol)

Neato.

 

[Fredrik]

Turn-based with some realtime gameplay too. Interesting, will definitely try.

 

[Labadal]

Real-time movement (stealth) like XCOM.

 

[ChoosableOne]

I guess we are in an era where turn based tactical rpg games are more popular than action games. Don't get me wrong, I love this genre, but this is very surprising.

I think XCOM: Enemy Unknown really opened up a lot of people to the genre. I can't even keep up anymore with new tactics releases, just finished up Midnight Suns and still have Rabbids 2 and Fire Emblem Engage to get to.

Really exciting times

Is this true? If so it's awesome. I'm loving the Shadowrun games.

 

[Holammer]

Only seconds into the video and I already hate the dialogue. It's clear the success of Marvel super hero movies will have a long term effect on media for years to come.
The Ghostbusters 2016 effect.

Yep.

Publisher Paradox Interactive and developer Harebrained Schemes have announced turn-based strategy game The Lamplighters League for Xbox Series and PC (Steam, Epic Games Store, Microsoft Store). It will launch in 2023. It will also be available via Xbox Game Pass.

looks fun

What do you mean?

 

[Vlodril]

Gameplay wise it looks interesting but that art is bleh. Their previous games (battletech and shadowrun) were far better in that aspect.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Right up my alley.

 

[Spitfire098]

Is this a moneyhat?

Turn-based = Turn away

Turn-based = Turn away

Turn-Based = Turn away
TACTICAL Turn Based = yes please

Hmmm, could be fun as a phone game.

 

[fermcr]

Nice! Shadowrun trilogy were good games... hyped about another turn-based game.

 

[anthraticus]

That artstyle and the 2 AP system are big turn offs.

That is the definition of "faint praise."

. . . and BT is fantastic. Looking at the gameplay, this looks like a evolution of the gameplay in BT and I'm all for it.

Also digging the character design, which has far more "character" than BT (which was all about the mechs anyway).

Only seconds into the video and I already hate the dialogue. It's clear the success of Marvel super hero movies will have a long term effect on media for years to come.
The Ghostbusters 2016 effect.

Yes. The MCU invented snappy dialogue between characters.

 

[Gp1]

I'm a huge fan of anything Battletech related and that game was awesome.
Gameplay-wise it sounds a lot like the second XCom 2 but this art style... meh....

 

[e0n]

Instantly lost interest at Dreamworks face.

 

[Irobot82]

In! I like what Hairbrained does.

 

[Kacho]

The art style is a huge turnoff. The faces remind me of The Incredibles.

 

[xrnzaaas]

Yeah that's a bad art style. No one wants to do realistically looking characters anymore?

 

[Kvally]

Looking pretty awesome to me. I am looking forward to it.

 

[ClanOfNone]

Yo Harebrained, since we got console ports for the Shadowrun trilogy can you PLEASE port your awesome Battletech game as well?

 

[The Cockatrice]

What do you mean?

Dunno, it looks too clean, too perfect, no aliasing, no blur, etc.

 

[SenjutsuSage]

All over this shit.
