Antihero Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
Fans of turn-based strategy titles who are looking for an individualistic take on the genre should look no further than Antihero. Its Victorian setting and sketch art visual style hold plenty of charm and its gameplay remains bracing and addictive, as you're always forced to rethink your strategy during the various match types. If we could fault the title at all it would be that its single player can be breezed through in just short of three hours, but the fact we are left craving for more content is testament to its excellence.
Become a Dickensian thief as you loot homes, take over businesses, and cut down your foes in Antihero, a strategy board game about being a master thief. Run your empire with aggression or stealth. Claim victory through blackmail or bounty hunting. Just make sure your opponent isn't a better criminal than you.
A tabletop-esque strategy game with surprisingly variable routes to success, Antihero is stylish, fresh, and beautifully designed.

Crime pays—specifically, it pays three gold to hire an Urchin.
