Paradox Interactive and Harebrained Schemes Split After Lamplighters League Failure

Paradox Interactive and Harebrained Schemes are parting ways following the commercial disappointment of The Lamplighters League, with Paradox citing "strategic and creative priorities" as the reason for the separation. The game, released earlier this month, received middling reviews and failed to generate significant commercial interest, resulting in a $22.7 million write-down. Paradox confirmed substantial layoffs at Harebrained Schemes and stated that a new project or sequel in the same genre was not in line with their portfolio plans. Harebrained will continue to support The Lamplighters League until the end of the year while seeking new opportunities, while Paradox retains ownership of the game and other titles developed by the studio.

"The Lamplighters League: Revolutionizing XCOM with Rulebook Overhaul"

The Lamplighters League, an upcoming turn-based tactics game, is proving to be extremely difficult, even for experienced players of XCOM-like games. The game's middle campaign missions are challenging, with overwhelming enemy numbers and high damage output. The difficulty cannot be adjusted mid-game, making it even more challenging. The game encourages a more defensive playstyle, but this approach may miss the point of a turn-based tactics game. The game offers depth in terms of agent abilities and combinations, but specific combinations seem to be more effective than others. More time and a fresh start are needed to fully assess the game's approachability and potential.
