What is The Lamplighters League?
This single-player tactical RPG takes place in an alternate 1930s, where a team of outlaws opposes a cult seeking world domination. You choose missions across the globe, sneak past or quietly eliminate enemies, and position your squad for turn-based battles. Between missions, you recruit agents, upgrade their abilities and equipment, and manage resources while enemy schemes advance and stress and injuries accumulate.

- +you enjoy experimenting with squad composition and ability combinations
- +you like pulp adventures built around an unconventional cast
Not for you if...
- −you want fast action instead of turn-based squad battles
- −you dislike juggling missions against an advancing enemy threat
