Take up the command of one of 7 factions, and set out to conquer Europe. Lead your mechs to war and your people to victory!
Scythe: Digital Edition is a mobile version of an awarded strategy board game with multiplayer for 1-5 players (with DLC for up to 7 players!). Divide and rule in an alternate reality in 1920s Europe, filled with mechs. Become the commander of a selected faction and lead it to victory in this 4X tabletop game!
Choose your faction
Each nation in Scythe: Digital Edition provides completely different possibilities. Be the hero of one of the seven factions: Saxony Empire, Crimean Khanate, Rusviet Union, Polania Republic, Nordic Kingdom, Clan Albion or Togawa Shogunate*. For the unique gameplay, pick a speciality: agriculturalist, industrialist, engineer, patriot or mechanic.
Embrace the 4X mechanics
Explore the land surrounding the Factory and be aware of the dangers waiting there. Expand your faction by claiming new territories. Exploit and gather resources to upgrade your buildings. Exterminate opposing enemies or dominate the game economically.
Engage asymmetric gameplay
From the very beginning, players start the game with different resources, a different starting location and a secret objective. It reflects the unpredictability of the board game and encourages experimentation. Move around the board, recruit units and fight your way to the top in a turn-based style!
Play with other players
Fight on your own terms, adjusting the mats to your preferences. Take three levels of AI to fine-tune your strategy, then challenge other players. In Scythe: Digital Edition, you can play with your friends in a hot-seat or try your best in online multiplayer with up to 7 players. Europe is waiting!
*You can buy Clan Albion and Togawa Shogunate in DLC Invaders from Afar via the in-game store as additional factions.
Pretty good for a portable version of Scythe. The board itself is well represented and the mechanics work well enough. I think the game struggles with replicating the ability to glance across and see the state of your opponents. I’ve lost games from being too zoned in on my own plans without realising how far ahead the AI is. But I do t think there is a way the devs could easily design around that handicap especially on a mobile device and it’s a decent trade for having the game so easily available.
Asynchronous multiplayer a letdown
DrJambo
Will 2-star until the ability to asynchronously create a MP game and not need everyone online at the same time is a thing. Good multiplayer would allow this game to soar. Avoid this game for now, unless you’re prepared to play multiplayer in realtime or playing solo.
Perfect Adaptation!

Such a great adaptation of what could be quite a complex board game to understand. I have the boxed game, so know the rules, but this is awesome when you just want to play.Incidentally, the game opened fine and hasn’t crashed on my iPad Pro 2nd edition 10.5. I restart my iPad before playing for the first time, not sure if that helped.
