About The Lamplighters League

The Lamplighters League poster

The Lamplighters League lets you sneak, steal, and shoot your way through a world of pulp adventure. You globetrot across exciting locales around the world, outwitting enemies in strategic turn-based combat, and if you play your cards right, you might just save the world. Created by Harebrained Schemes, the studio behind the Shadowrun Trilogy and BATTLETECH, it's set in an alternate 1930s where a tyrannical cult called the Banished Court stands on the cusp of world domination.

For millennia, a band of heroic scholars known as the Lamplighters League were all that stood between this sinister cabal and their plans, but the best of the best are now gone. That leaves the job to the best of the worst: a recruited team of misfits and scoundrels with unique abilities and unforgettable personalities. Chasing the Banished Court to the ends of the earth mixes real-time infiltration, turn-based tactical combat, and a character-driven story of adventure and intrigue.

Strategy meets story in style throughout. You control a roster of dynamic characters, learning their signature tactical abilities and roles by taking them on missions, where every misfit brings a personal flair that can turn the tide of a fight. Blending adventure, RPG, and strategy, this PC title rewards clever planning and a taste for pulp heroics.
