![]() Your strategic approach to the world map needs to be just as decisive as on the battlefield. This adds a darling level of strategy to the mayhem. You can now choose where you place your units and if you are defending, place barricades and traps. Missing an enemy is nearly a thing of the past and spell effects have improved immensely. The combat will feel familiar with the addition of some improved systems. The player will quickly reunite with these familiar names. Takate, Zurbaran, and Naurim aren’t exactly in glorious position either. The incarcerated and ‘friend’ to spider kind Cassia has some traumatic occurrences occur to her right from the start. Since the end of the previous game, our ‘heroes’ aren’t in the best of places. Due to the fact that this is a Blackguards game, you’re instantly introduced to some pretty dark themes. While you don’t invent your character like you did in the original, you still have options on how you build out Cassia’s character. Making all the variable elements that can be tinkered with a lot clearer, it makes the gameplay a lot smoother, to a far less frustrating level. The UI and what can be interacted with improved for the greater as well. While advancing the systems in the sequel, the developers also simplified or downright removed some of the previous systems. If you were a fan of the original Blackguards, I have trouble seeing you disliking the sequel.Ĭontinuing the turn-based, strategic, RPG theme from the first game, Blackguards 2 expands upon the popular Dark Eye universe table-top game. With all that said and out of the way, the experience thus far has been pretty great. This means it was not the complete game and had some bugs that I assume won’t be in the January 20th release on PC and Mac. My hands on experience was a preview build that estimates a six-hour experience on average. From what I’ve played in the preview build of Blackguards 2, it looks like a lot of the same, but with new and improved features. Sit me in front of an RPG that lets me build out my characters and let me control them in a strategic manor, and yeah, I’m in. The original Blackguards blindsided me all of the sudden I found myself playing countless hours playing as the criminal-hero. Unfortunately, I feel like the Blackguards franchise still flies under the radar of many roleplaying and strategy games.
