Lux Delux

Rating: 4.1 (69 votes cast)

Lux Delux is a game of strategy and domination inspired by the board game Risk. Control your armies to conquer and hold strategic countries on the map. The object of the game is simple: Take over the entire world!

  • Hundreds of Maps
    Lux comes with over 800 different maps. Play on historical, geometric, geographic, and fantasy settings. New maps get added all the time.
  • Challenging Artificial Intelligence
    Play versus 11 different computer AI personalities. They start at easy and go all the way to hard (with a capital HARD). Lux provides a strong matchup even for experienced Risk game players.
  • Easy Network Play
    Joining an online multiplayer game is as easy as 2 clicks - no need to muck about with IP addresses. Hosting an internet-wide game is just as simple. Now is the perfect time to start climbing the world wide rankings.
  • Strong User Base
    Lux has an active user community. The regulars can be found hanging around in the forums and playing multiplayer games online. Come and join the party.
  • Hackable
    Use the built-in Map Editor to create your own maps. Send it in and we'll add it to the Plugin Manager. Programmers can create AIs and random map generators with the Lux SDK provided by Sillysoft.

Lux Delux review

By Prophane33 posted 6th March

If you love Risk, then you'll love this game. There are a ton of different maps you can download. It's very easy to grab new maps, and the interface is easy to learn. The price may seem a bit steep at $14.95, but you are getting a quality product with over 800 different maps, including some really cool historical scenarios.

Did you grow up on the board game of 'Risk'? Did you enjoy it?

If you answered yes to those questions then Lux Delux may be a great title for you to pick up. It's chalk full of hundreds (if not more) maps that you can play on, and carries on the same feeling of conquest that the board game had way back in the day.

For me the game has been rock solid and not even a hiccup, and I definitely recommend it to any of my friends that use to love playing Risk (either the board game or the video game) back in the day.

It's basically the board game with hundreds (if not more) maps to play on and it plays nearly similar to the board game. Lux Deluxe even offers you the ability to create your own maps.

If you enjoyed Risk back in the day, I don't think you can go wrong with the purchase of Lux Deluxe.

This is the game you must buy if you've enjoyed Risk. There are humdreds of maps available to you so you can keep playing for next few years. It's ideal for those who just want to play short games and continue with theirs lives.

Lux Delux review

I had my sights on this awesome-looking Risk clone, but like the reviewer before me, found the $15 price tag a bit of a risk (pun half-intended). I did buy Ancient Empires Lux (from some other store.. I don't remember which), however, and found the interface to be very usable -- if you liked the feel of Risk II, the Lux series will feel very familiar very quick. The music is good, as well.

Today, to my surprise, GG put the game on 66% sale, so I snatched it up instantly for $5! After a few hours of playing, I can add this about Lux Delux: HUGE value for your money!! Sillysoft did a great job of encouraging user-created content, and these install very very easily right within the game launcher. There's a good variety in these maps, too, with some being pretty basic and others being pretty complex. Some maps are imaginary, some are historical. With great AI, network play, and rankings, pretty much any Risk fan should be satisfied even at the $15 price. I know I'll be coming back to this game from time to time for years to come.

This game is in essence a risk clone. That said, it's a very good clone. Intuitive and quick interface, high re-playability due to a vast library of maps and good multiplayer support with an active community combines in a overall very fun little game.

I found the price of 15 euro slightly on the high side, and would find 10 euro more appropriate. A demo can be tried on the dev's home page, which I recommend.
