Lux Touch (Free)
Version 1.0.1
REVIEW – “It’s like Risk on steroids!”
I don’t know about you but as a kid I loved playing Risk, it was a fun strategy game that I was usually unbeatable at. I was so excited when I heard about Lux Touch because not only can I play by myself (and avoid the sore losers who complain that the game is more about luck than anything else) and get through a game in a matter of minutes.
Now before we start off I will say this, this game is far from perfect. It comes with absolutely no instructions whatsoever (while I like the assumption that Risk is such a great game that everyone knows the rules, this is simply not true) so I will spend a few moments here going over the basics of the game.
You are blue, and you are competing against the other three colors (black, orange and green). You want to conquer as many countries as possible and you really want to conquer entire continents. If you conquer at least one country on your turn you get a card, and eventually you get enough cards to make a set and that leads to bonus armies, so always try to conquer a country if you can. You also get bonuses for controlling an entire continent at the beginning of your turn. 
So how to do you play? Well you will notice when the game starts that you have a few blue countries with a random number of armies on them. You want to attack enemy countries but you never want to attack a country that has a higher number of armies than you. A good rule of thumb is to try and have a three to one advantage but once you get into the higher numbers that is not always necessary.
Now when the game starts out I would recommend picking an area and just slowly building up armies (while remembering to take over one country a turn) and then start unleashing your fury once you have a significant build up of armies.
The game play moves very quickly which can get you a little frustrated when you watch your enemy take over half the map in a matter of seconds, but the tables can turn just as quickly. I also thought the sound effects and explosions were a nice touch.
The game sounds a little tricky but you will catch on fast and in no time you will be loving this game. The game play is easy enough though sometimes I noticed it became a little difficult to transfer armies the way I wanted at the end of my turn (maybe my fingers are just too big).
This game is very fun and very addicting but it has one major flaw and that is that there is no save function. So if you leave the game screen it completely restarts and you lose all of your progress.
If you do end up liking this game there is another version called Lux Delux that has extra maps and features, but really the free version was enough for me. Maybe in the future I will look into the other version, but for now it’s time to take over the world.
