About Luddite

Luddite is a Turn Based Campaign game with a fully incorporated Graphic Novel.Join 1,426 Kickstarter backers who helped create this game! Enter Yurushi, a sprawling Metropolis and Earth’s largest city. You play as a young engineer who has recently been laid off by the Niven Megacorporation. Like many millions of others, this means a move back to the Saitama Slums, a vast wasteland, populated by the new ‘useless classes’ made unemployable by the adoption of artificial intelligence powered automata. You are recruited by the charismatic leader Red Ludd who is assembling a resistance to this mass obsolescence, a group known simply as the Luddites.In Luddite you and your team will be using your engineering skills to hack into these automata and cripple their systems. Revenge for being cast aside and a reprieve for the millions of workers who are still to lose their livelihoods, but beware, the mega corporations did not get to this position playing fair. Those caught in acts of sabotage will not be treated kindly or fairly by the system.Luddite is a campaign game which follows the narrative of a custom made graphic novel of the same name. Featuring hundreds of beautiful pieces of art by the talented Adam Beachey, Luddite is playable solo, or multiplayer and can be played cooperatively or competitively. The campaign can be reset and replayed indefinitely and the game allows for an unlimited number of players to take part. Luddite gameplay fuses classic roll and write mechanisms with a novel, push your luck style system. Players must race against the clock to damage the AI systems and get out before the countermeasures can kick in.

The principle is nice and definitely something that is worth exploring over a couple of hours. (hence why i backed the Kickstarter) The game on Steam for 10$ is definitely not worth it. For one it is extremely short, i 100% this in just under 3 hours. The story is told in between levels in voiced over comic style. Think Max Payne. The Art is very nice and the story ok. We have heard it before and some of the lines are taken right from successful media. The intermissions that tell the story take about an hour, which leaves gameplay for the 6 levels before the end at just under 2 hours top. With what i now know about the game, i could probably play it through in under an hour. The variations between the levels is interesting but feel not consquential enough for a computer game. Also the last couple of levels suffer from the fact that you start on the exit, which, if you calculate dice economy, works out to just solvable if you never move, making the "board" part of th…
