Scythe: Digital Edition

Very balanced with good replayability.

Good adaptation of the board game

Wow, what a great adaption of a boardgame. I am a passionate boardgame player and this conversion rocks!

As a fan of the board game, I bought this in order to play with long-distance friends. It plays just like the board game, which is a complement. My only complaint is that the physical board game presents itself better than the digital version

Great board game alternative. It can’t replace the physical one, but tbh physical copy doesn’t see much playtime due to complexity hurdle. Seen a lot of new players struggle with controlling their physical board and I taught them the digital version way quicker. If you like it and have enough people to play with, you will love the board game. If you love it and you don’t know enough people: bots and multiplayer solves that here. If you hate it: you didn’t waste as much money as for the physical one (which you can resell though ;) )

Nice strategy board game with awesome artwork.

A good way to learn the rules for tabletop with friends!

Great implementation!!

The board game itself is great, but this iteration of it has some real problems. One would think that an app could make things more clear than a board game, but it does not. And the online lobby is one of the most irritating implementations I've ever seen. From the moment you step in, anybody can invite you to a game. So when I go in to check to see if the game I'm playing with friends is ready, I have to first cancel half a dozen game requests. And people don't stop. They'll just keep hitting that invite button until you accept. There needs to be a way to opt out of that "experience".

Really fun and tactical game love the fact there is a nearly infinite number of strategies you can improve and optimise he longer you play played it over the board for a while before I started properly playing online
10/10 would recommend

One of my all time favorite board games. Works very well for PC, game walks you through optional tutorial, ability to play online. pacing of the game feels well. Recommend.

I love this version of the game , as you can see it's quite enjoyable

Needs a better overall explanation and tutorial. it is the farthest thing from intuitive.

Great game!

has some game breaking bugs

Once you get the rules very good

If you enjoy the board game, but friends are not always available or you prefer to play a quick match, this is the perfect option, I like the fact I can play the two factions which are not part of the main board game, so that I dont have to waste money on buying the expansion (the factions are severely underpowered compared to the base game). Its not a 10/10, mainly because navigating the game is sometimes a bit difficult.

Is nice to run against some bots when my friends are tired of losing

10/10 game, played 18 minutes and forgot to refund it.

I think it's a great version of the board game. I love it. What else can I say?

This is one of the best board games I have ever played! The digital version has all of the same mechanics, with the benefit of keeping track of scores in real-time. The gameplay is smooth and intuitive. Hats off to the programmers for getting everything right!

Excellent game, perfectly faithful to the board game.

fun. only if you know. only if you know.

Its a really fun game, and everything looks great and works really well. Is a little tricky to learn the mechanics of how to control everything in the game at first, but the tutorial does a good job of helping with that

Great game.

Such a great digital port from one of my favorite board games!

My favorite board game.

Great digital adaptation of the board game. If you liked the boardgame, you'll like the digital edition.

I didn't really get past the tutorials before i got bored. I have too large of a game backlog to keep trying, just going to pass.

Really entertaining game

I play mainly for the solo mode, as I also have the board game which I play with others.

Fantastic board game. The digital edition is fun, but unforgiving. I bought it because I enjoy the board game so much and wanted to test myself against other ranked players--it's been fun! The mechanics of the app can be frustrating at times. But overall, would reccommend to anyone who likes strategy games.

Bugs, i had Faction option to choose 2 bonuses from encounter card, system did not allow me to do so. Fix it please.

great board game

great adaption of the boardgame. UI takes a little getting used to but it's intuitive.

After not getting along with playing this IRL (potentially due to tiredness and introversion) I decided to give the video game adaptation a whirl and yep, sorted me right out.

I notice people seem to also get frustrated at the layout in the video game just as much as I initially did by the board game; once you've been patient in familiarising yourself with its functions it's brilliant, now I'm comfortable to keep playing and hope to retry the board game ASAP

Great adaptation for the best board game I've ever played!

Bear team ftw ;)

Fun game with many different outcomes and playstyles. gonna buy the tabletop version asap.

Efficient representation of the board game.

plays like the TT version

Una adaptación aburrida para un juego de mesa aburrido, sin mejoras en la versión digital.

It seems to have been largely abandoned by the company and runs like garbage. Plans for expansions were also canned indicating that the owners have no faith in this and won't spend any resources to keep it running smoothly.

Wish I'd tried this before the 2 weeks were up, I'd be refunding.

Clunky and unintuitive. It's complicated where it should be simple, and simple where it should have complexity.

Maybe I'll give it another try later on. Seems like it's just kind of a mess TBH.

Addictive. Fun with friends.

And a hell of a lot cheaper than a physical copy. Bloody $178. Fuck off.

I bought this game to learn the rules for the tabletop game someone planned to bring this weekend. It's a complex game and I could tell I was going to need some time and experience with it. I'm really enjoying it and find it to have a lot of ways to win. Only complaint I have is that sometimes moving pieces can be a little janky in the execution. Fun game, no real issues.

Enjoyable game. Had the board game version first. A few of the controls in the digital version could use improvement, it's not as intuitive at first as it could be.

One of the tightest and re-playable board games ever, not to mention beautiful art and engaging theme.

Scythe is a euro classic in the board game hobby. It has seduced many newcomers and veterans with its beautiful artwork and enticing setting. As somebody who has played the physical version many times, I can safely recommend this digital version that does not feel half-baked compared to other digital releases that have the bare minimum of work put into them.

The digital edition of Scythe offers a beautiful board filled with 3d models that can be customized and colored. I wished that the game would go even a few steps further than just representing the physical components but it just does that. The game renders the physical components in a neat way while accompanying you with some classical music to set the mood.

What I enjoy so much about the digital version is that it streamlines the book-keeping and it's easier to keep tracks of victory points, resources and the movement of units. The interface does a competent job at displaying all the information required to make informed decisions and plan ahead.

You can either engage in PvP or PvE against bots. I personally play with a friend in a FFA setting which works well for us. I haven't played much against others except for my Steam friends so I don't know much about the online community. The bots are super competent and can be adjusted to your skill level. They are a serious challenge and it some time to get a grasp on the game. The game does a bad job at explaining the general game flow so you just need to play a few games to get a feeling for the pace.

My biggest gripe is that there are some actions which have not an undo button. Sometimes you commit to actions in an obtuse way where you may have accidently misclicked because the interface can be overly busy. It's hard to describe but some straight forward actions require a lot of input from the player which is odd at times. It doesn't destract to much if you're familiar with the game and played a few times. For instance, if you dedicate your turn to an action which has several sub-steps, you are fully committed to it even if you just wanted to evaluate your options at your disposal. This is really more of an issue if you're not playing that reguarly and are not aware at the full consequences of some actions.

Otherwise, I cannot complain much else. The game works fine and seems bugfree, the online elements work just fine and it it is a faithful recreation of the board game.

I honestly wish that they would just have animated the gameworld a bit more with various assets, the setting is just so interesting and unique.

This game checks all the boxes for me. Worker placement. Eastern block vibe. A little combat. Low RNG. Sweet looking map. Nice strategy game.
