Gale writes -"Let me begin this preview by saying that I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the way Blackguards 2 handles the lore its predecessor set up. The protagonist, Cassia, gets trapped in a dungeon (with her kitten killed brutally) and we, the players, then take control over her in her quest to rule the kingdom, if only for a day. The randomness of this thought is presented in a lovely way, and the notion behind it will become clear if you think about the storyline while playing. Taking a gander at some other previews, I’ve noticed the authors doing their best to spoil the bugger so I’ll show some restraint instead. What I can attest to, however, is that you’ll surely be pleasantly surprised by its inventiveness. Now, onto the stuff I actually can speak about!"
Three years have passed since Count Uria´s plots. The Vanquishers of the Nine Hordes long parted ways but life in Aventuria went on. Cassia, a young woman of noble descent, has only one goal: She wants to claim the Shark Throne, no matter the price
Danny Martinez of The Koalition writes: The original Blackguards 2 was released in 2015 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC by developers Daedalic Entertainment. I mention this immediately because those who are looking for a modern story, RPG mechanics, and graphics will not find that with this game.
Blackguards 2 is a turn-based tactical RPG with a high fantasy setting originally released in 2015, now ported to the Nintendo Switch.
