Read some recent quotes from reviewers and players about LAR:

"The best game I've played in my recent spate of reviewing is, without question, The Lost Admiral Returns. You've heard the clichés applied to other games: easy to learn, hard to master. This time it's true." - Peterb - Tea Leaves Blog

"[LAR] is clear and simple, driven by broad significant choices and an intuitive interplay among the different ships. It goes down like ice cream ... The sweet easy rock/paper/scissors of it all clicks into place." - Tom Chick - Computer Games Magazine

Back before all the mindless shooters and frenzied RTS's, there were games where you had to THINK.  Kudos to Thurston Searfoss for re-creating one of those - an amazingly fun thinking game!   AI is AWESOME! Finally a game that taxes your brain, not your wrist! -- Dallan Quass


One of the best turn style games I have played in the last 18 years. "just get lost in time once in a while"  "the perfect getaway from your daily routine"- Oliver

I love the new flagships and the flexibility in strategy that they bring - Alan How

“Lost Admiral Returns” is just the gaming ticket for anyone who wants a strategic challenge. There is some excellent eye candy here, too, but the reason this title will hold a place of honor in your own pantheon of great games it that it will challenge you, make you think and have a thoroughly enjoyable time in the process.”

--Lonnie Falk, Editor, Rainbow-PCM Reviews On-Line

Simple to learn and difficult to truly master. Kind of like chess at sea. - anonymous

Great strategy game ! Can be set to play at any skill level, just like a good chess program, easy to beat the level 1 AI but level 11 will challenge the most jaded armchair admiral. - anonymous

Like all great strategy games, the rules are simple, but the variations are endless.  Great for hours of enjoyment. - anonymous

"[LAR] even has a hook for the RPG whore/MMO slave I've become. After every game, you can upgrade your flagship. It gets special powers." - Tom Chick - Computer Games Magazine

"Gameplay is fast-paced, for a hex-based wargame, and addictive. I constantly find myself saying "Just one more battle before bed," which is a sure sign of incipient dependency." - Peterb - Tea Leaves Blog

 

A Lost Admiral Returns is inspired by the original Lost Admiral game released by Thurston Searfoss with QQP in 1991. Winning "Strategy Game of the Year" in 1992 from Computer Gaming World Magazine, Lost Admiral is still played today by fans who will soon have the vastly improved Lost Admiral Returns to continue the legacy. Thurston has also created several other games with QQP in the past, including Conquered Kingdoms and Grandest Fleet games.

The new Lost Admiral Returns engine is designed to adhere to the deep, fun, tried and true game play of the original TLA, with a customizable interface that does much more than the old game did, along with whole layers of new challenges and abilities that were not in the original old game.  The biggest new gaming stuff to try in the game are special “Save the Admiral” missions that add whole new knife edge aspects of victory as you balance the normal fight for Victory Points with the special mission needs…

 Lost Admiral Returns is still a turn-based game, to keep the deepest, almost chess-like strategy and planning aspects during all parts of the game play.

Many other new aspects are things like improved statistics tracking, several different ranking systems, Internet High Score pages, a whole new flagship system, an extended “Save the Admiral” campaign with all new challenges, and a few more things in the works.

 The game continues to grow and change every week – month, and feedback from LAR players is a key part of that process!

A Lost Admiral Returns has very chess like maneuvering and will appeal to fans of any type of battleship game, submarine game, naval strategy game, war game, or turn based strategy game.  The game play also appeals to chess game players who like chess puzzles or chess strategies.
