Fun Incarnation of a Classic
Wed Jul 28 2021 shriekback

Ages ago there was a version of Risk available by EA. It was a nice way to pass the time. I especially enjoyed the medals, and I think I got nearly all of them over time. Recently I tried to download it but there is a new official version that is an ad nightmare, and the only way to get rid of them is to buy gems to unlock. Pure crap. This game does not suffer from that insanity, it is a straightforward game that I have come to enjoy for short interludes of world conquest. The controls are easy enough to learn though I do sometimes miss the “Fortify” button and end a turn by mistake. Also, when asked about “cashing” in cards for armies, the board is erased of army counts, making it harder to decide if cashing in is necessary or worthwhile to begin a run of capturing all of another color.

Custom Quickplay Risk, what more could you want?
Sat Jul 03 2021 Wrigley_Field

Lots of maps, game modes, rulesets, and AI skill levels means you can customize the game pretty much however you could please. No IAP means it’s safe for the kids too, and will help them build strategic mindsets if you teach them to watch and mimic the Reaper AI play style. My only issue with it is the audio level is permanently bound to the main sound level so if you want to quiet down the explosions you end up doing so for the whole phone, which can lead to issues if you forget (it also mutes itself off the lock switch). You can disable the sound effects outright but the sound design has some useful audio cues for when your thumbs are hiding info. It’d be nice to have a game audio slider option not bound to main volume.

Great versatile version of Risk

I've played Risk for many years as a board game and on a desktop computer. Many versions in the early 2000s were pretty clunky and slow and browser based ones seemed too slow, spammy, or basic. But this iOS version Lux DLX is speedy, highly configurable, and comes with lots of maps. If you feel like just smashing the opponents, you can make the AIs very easy to beat. But if you set all opponents to reaper mode, it's very difficult. And you can vary up the opponent skills and the number you face. You can run the game at different speeds by limiting the graphics and by automatically rolling dice and moving pieces. It's never the same game twice. I've played this Lux DLX for a year or two now and have rarely encountered glitches. Very well put together game!

On my short list

This incarnation of the classic Risk game is pretty ideal, I think. I use all the AI players, but I leave them all set to "Random" as far as ability. I win about 25% of the time, which is only slightly better than I would fare with human players. It takes about 15 minutes to play a game, which is perfect. And I like that after I am eliminated, the game proceeds in accelerated mode so that I can see who finally wins the game. There are lots of maps available, but I stick with the classic World map. I've played a number of "Risk" apps, but this one is clearly the best. And after the initial purchase price of the app, there are no ads or in-app purchase options. You buy the complete uninterrupted game. Kudos to the developers. Really nice job.

I Love this Game!

The game is basically Risk with minor adjustments. My first time playing Risk was the physical board game. It took forever, but this app speeds up the process substantially. I love it! Playing this game is fantastic with friends. Simply screen share the device to a TV and the whole group can watch the game even when the phone is passed around. It is much easier to get people to play this version than the physical game. Online gameplay would be awesome, but I understand that is unlikely to happen. Also, it would be nice to not be encouraged to check out the Meowzers app at the end of my games. It makes the app feel cheap.

Great game... but...

I like this game, but it gets frustrating when I KNOW I should be able to take a country with a certain amount of armies but it somehow doesn't work? I know I'm not the only one who has noticed. Is it a glitch, a way to make the game harder, or is it just inevitable? After playing and beating it a few times a message pops up that's says "Like it or Lux it" and after that it seems like the game becomes progressively more difficult. As if if you don't like the game on Facebook, the game starts cheating. For example, I can start a battle with 25 armies against say 7 and if it's against "reaper" it's like I'm rolling with less di, which makes the game not fun. I should NOT lose those battles as often as I should. 95% of the time I should win those, but it only happens about 70% of the time. If that's what you do to make the game more difficult (give the computer opponents more dice) then don't even bother making it harder because the game becomes so frustrating that you want to smash your phone with a hammer. I gave the game four stars at first, but then this happens and I want to go buy a hammer... so I gave it 3 stars.

Great, but....

It’s a great game, and fun, basically a board game for strategists that stays interesting. Though a few complaints I have are that the win is 90% in favor of the defender, so if I have 3 divisions, and the defender has 2, he/she will win, every single time. This carries on to another complaint, if I had an army of 2, and an army of another 2, and I attack a 3, then I will lose the first time, then I attack with my other army, and same result, this is constructive criticism, but I believe you should add an unseen “health” system where I could attack a 3 with a 2, and then attack with a 1 and win. Other than that, the game is great and I have been playing it for 2 days straight! Thanks

A Fun and Challenging Game!

Lux DLX is a great game with hours and hours of fun. If you like a game of domination and strategy this game is for you. With far more than 50 maps and playing fields to choose from you will find your favorites among them. You can pick you own opponents and challenge levels, with many to pick from it never gets boring. It's exciting and sometimes fast paced, you control the speed and challenges. If you have every played Risk, Lux DLX takes it to the next level and then some. They are always adding new maps, so you can find new favorites. I recommend it highly for anyone who likes challenges and strategy.
