Victorian Gang Warfare BOARDGAME- Antihero Review
Join as we review the digital boardgame Antihero with it's Dickensian London thieves guild premise of robbery and gang warfare in this Cheapness Affordable Gaming Review!
SUBSCRIBE to the Cheapness Reviews for reviews of mostly weird titles, focusing on whether they're affordable!

In this video we delve into the strategic digital boardgame Antihero. Most moves seem to have counters and it's fun if it's a rare 2 player boardgame. It's value for money isn't amazing though as the single player campaign is short and flimsy!
So what is the Cheapness Review channel about?
The Cheapness Review is a channel that reviews a somewhat weird selection of games while focusing on how affordable they are.
Weird games because my taste is weird and I chase variety! Plus that gives the benefit that you will see an interesting or maybe even obscure game. Hopefully I'll convince you to buy it or you'll be glad you've been entertained by an interesting game that you probably won't play and my attempts at wit.
Affordable gaming because I am cheap and I would like to drive home that gaming can be for people with less disposable income by showing the game's true value for money (Price per hour), it's download size, whether it has local multiplayer and whether or not it's easy to run on our other 10 year old pc. If the game is low spec enough to play there, your parent's work pc or your student laptop should be able to as well!
So please consider checking some of the other content on the Cheapness Review channel!

      Thanks for watching! Just a headsup... if the story matters to you, it isn't necessarily brilliant for the most part and the dialogue has jerky gesture transitions, but it's enough to spur you forward to complete it and it is lovely and depressing in terms of atmosphere (If you like that in a game)

    Probably my favourite turn-based skirmish game of all time. I hope Cyberknights is a hit so they can make a 2nd Templar game. That also looks good but there is something about the xenos and big mech suits that is just more appealing to me. I was hoping Gears Tactics would scratch this itch but it isn't nearly as fun to me.

    Great review! One thing I'm not sure about is when you talked about roguelike/lite elements: "It's "you die, then you start again" - the only thing that carries over is your knowledge" - isn't that pretty much the definition of a roguelike, having a permadeath mechanic with randomized short runs?

    • @thecheapnessreview
      @thecheapnessreview Рік тому

      Perhaps as I don't go by the most technical of definitions (I have very little idea what Rogue was truly like) but instead I opted more to define having say a roguelike currency to buy permanent improvements or unlocking new items you can find on the runs to add spice, keep you invested and maybe smooth difficulty to instill a sense of progress. But I think you have a point that those do not have to be present for it to be a roguelike... I just think it may have encouraged me to stick it out for more runs maybe. Thank you very much for watching and commenting and I apologize for taking so long to respond, I post these on a schedule ahead of time
