Lux Delux 5.5 Review
Lux is an awesome game of strategy and domination. Based on the time tested gameplay of the board game Risk, Lux adds everything you could ask for in a computer version.
Easy Network Play:
Joining an online 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.
Challenging AI:
If you want to play solo, Lux comes with 11 different computer opponents. They start at easy and go all the way to hard (with a capital HARD). A strong match up even for experienced players.
Strong User Base:
Lux has built up an active user community. The regulars can be found hanging around in network games and in the forums.
Plugin Madness:
Lux comes with support for a wide variety of plugins. You can make your own maps or modify existing ones using the built-in Map Editor. Programmers can create their own AI using the LuxAgent SDK, or a random map generator using the LuxMapGenerator SDK.
It Goes On And On:
Need a little bit more funk? Lux comes with some magic bonus features such as a built-in tutorial, FREE tech support, and FREE updates !
Unlimited Fun:
Lux comes with a free 20 game trial period. The cost to buy the full version is a measly $20 US. Full registration comes with unlimited gameplay, access to all of Lux's game options, the ability to host games, and inclusion in the online rankings. Download the free demo and you will not be disappointed.
Requirements: Java 1.4 (will prompt to download if needed)
What's New: Version 5.5 redesigns the main window, adding a map preview. Plus hosting improvements and lots more!
