'Antihero' Gets Release Date - Screens

by Rainier on March 27, 2017 @ 8:35 a.m. PDT

Antihero is a turn-based strategy digital board game where you play the part of the feared and revered master thief in a Victorian gas-lit underworld.

Set against the backdrop of a gas-lit Victorian underworld, players take on the role of a Master Thief and have to employ a number of underhanded and ruthless tactics to dominate each territory before their opponent does.

In Antihero players can test their thievery skills in campaign mode or challenge friends in the highly competitive timed ‘Live Match’ and regular ‘Casual Match’ multiplayer modes to see who’s the top thief!  Operating in a gas-lit Victorian city overrun by corruption and greed your task is to manage your thieves’ guild, recruit street urchins, hire gangs, steal everything and bribe, blackmail and assassinate your way to victory! Using lanterns to upgrade their skills and gold coins to hire a variety of less than pleasant characters to do their dirty work, they have to take over each territory before their opponent does.

The full release will include a single player campaign mode, vs AI mode plus two multiplayer modes, Casual Match and Live Match in which turns are timed.  Gamers also have a choice to invite a friend or be auto-matched against an opponent.

Customers who pre-order the game on Steam can get 20% off the suggested retail price, PLUS the first DLC pack, “The Book Club” character pack, for FREE.  This pack contains four Master Thief skins based on well-known literary characters: Miss Alice, Ebeneezer Scrooge, Sherlock Holmes, and Tiny Tim for free.

Antihero is currently in first access on itch.io ($15).
