The Lamplighters League adds new playable character and Events system in latest free update

eurogamer.net:

The Lamplighters League might have officially flopped according to publisher Paradox Interactive, but that hasn't stopped developer Harebrained Schemes from making improvements to its pulp strategy adventure since its arrival — and its latest free update is perhaps its biggest yet, adding a new playable character and new events system.

The Lamplighters League, which launched to a mix reception back in October, blends tactical turn-based action and real-time stealth in a globe-trotting adventure inspired by the classic pulp stories of the 1930s, putting players in control of a disparate group of rogues as they attempt to thwart an occult-obsessed cabal known as the Banished Court.

And as of today, with the launch of The Lamplighters League's 1.3 update, the number of available playable rogues has swelled by one thanks to the arrival of Isaac Greymoor. Described as a «hot-headed, lead-slinging mercenary who wields a deadly light machine gun to devastating effect», Isaac is the sun of former Lamplighters League leader Lord Greymoor.

Despite slotting into the melee-focused Bruiser category of characters, Isaac is armed with a light machine gun that spits out a hail of bullets and generates Heat — plus additional damage — as it fires. However, the more Isaac lets rip, the greater his chance of Overheating, and if that happens, Isaac will start to take damage himself.

After installing the free Isaac DLC — which, it's worth noting, must be downloaded via your storefront of choice seperate from today's 1.3 update — Isaac will become available via next Agent Recruitment mission you find. He can also be selected as one of a player's four starting Agents when beginning a custom game.
