I’ve played the first two levels for this Lamplighters League gameplay preview a lot, as the newest turn-based strategy game from Harebrained Schemes promises to deliver a diverse and pulpy adventure. It’s one that consistently throws you back in the action with a fighting chance no matter what you do. In XCOM, you can screw up to the point where you’d lose an entire squad, but Lamplighters League wants you to solve the problems of your mistakes on the fly, instead of punishing you for them.
