Blackguards Review – The Digital Fix

All this nostalgic dreaming for games of yore is getting a little bit silly now. Rarely a day goes past when a release, particularly on the PC, does not intend to recreate some lost aspect of days gone by. It is true, we have not seen many turn-based party RPGs in recent years, especially outside of the smaller indie teams. Blackguards, developed and published by German studio Daedalic Entertainment (previously known for adventure titles such as the Deponia series and The Night of the Rabbit) aims to breath fresh life into the dusty genre, yet the resulting stale air simply reminds the player that the past was a more inviting place.
