Lux Deluxe Developed and released by Sillysoft Games.
Gameplay Lux Delux is a turn-based Strategy game that is very reminiscent of the Board game Risk [de.wikipedia.org]. There is a Map that is divided into many small Provinces and which must be conquered if you want to win.
Depending on how you set the Game before The start, you can choose the Provinces you want to own At the Start Of the game or the Game randomly gives each Player provinces. The situation is similar with Troops, either placing themselves or having computers done. The Latter Option definitely creates more Excitement and Variety, as you never know what the Game gives you.
However, Lux Delux Already offers a lot. In Terms Of standards, there are only 10 Cards, but there are several more that can be downloaded. In Addition, there are 2 Campaigns that bring a total of 22 Missions. If this is not enough, you can still set a "biohazard" Value on the normal Maps. This ensures that individual Provinces fall away on the different Maps, which means that each Card requires a different Strategy each time it passes.
The 11 different AI also require different Approaches. While you actually manage the easy Enemies without any major Problems, you should already play very concentrated with the heavy Enemies. If this is not enough, other Opponents can also download themselves and Reaper or BotOfDoom in particular do their Name all The credit.
Predictive Planning is particularly important in these cases. Where do you place how many Troops at the Beginning of The Round and which Provinces are conquered when? The second Question should always be considered carefully, because Provinces are grouped together in Regions. If you control all The provinces of a Region, you get more Troops at the next Round start. Since there are only 3 by default, 5 Bonus Units can make a huge Difference. Especially since you do not fight the Fights yourself, but they are selected by the Game. As a result, happiness and, above all, the Number of Troops are crucial Factors in the Fighting.
Despite all the Diversity, it will unfortunately be monotonous at some point, because you always do the same thing. Only the Multiplayer can motivate something, but unfortunately there is not too much going on in this one.
Graphics & Sound Optical, the Game is very cick-like and remains true To its Board game roots. This definitely has charm and fits very well. Less nice is that the Game has Problems with Steam. If you Get the Message that a Friend has come online, you have received an Item, etc., you will pixel the Game in the Area of the Steam-Infobox. In addition, there are minor Graphics errors and Problems on different Maps, which is also a bit annoying.
Background Music and Sound effects are very fitting and pleasant. Otherwise, the Game has nothing to offer acoustically.
Conclusion Anyone Who likes Strategy games and Board Games of this Kind doesn't do much wrong here. It'S best to look for some more Friends, as with a real Board Game and then play with them. The current Price of around €10 is ok in my Eyes, as LuX Delux is a Game that you can play again and again.
