Antihero - Digital Board Game in IOS

Run a thieves' guild

Walkthrough, Guilds, Tips on this special game

Our Expert Score

90/100

Antihero is a breath of fresh, smog-filled air in the digital board game genre. It perfectly captures the cutthroat nature of a Victorian underworld, where you aren't just trying to win; you're trying to systematically dismantle your opponent's operations. The game loop of recruiting street urchins to occupy businesses while sending your Master Thief to infiltrate estates creates a fantastic tension between economic management and tactical board control.

The 'Slabbery and Skulduggery' isn't just flavor text—the ability to hire thugs to block paths or assassins to remove key enemy pieces adds a layer of aggression that most board games shy away from. The campaign mode is surprisingly well-written, but the real heart of the game is the asynchronous multiplayer. Being able to plot your next heist over the course of a day makes it the perfect mobile companion for strategy fans who don't have time for a single long sitting.
