Joseph Dwan writes: The politics and stories of fantasy worlds are massively popular right now. With Dragon Age: Inquisition meeting all the hype for a lot of people, and Game of Thrones bringing the intricate Known World to the masses, Blackguards 2 has a challenge on its hands. To stand out in a sea of fantasy while remaining a fun game without straying from the tabletop RPG it’s based on is not an easy task. I believe Blackguards 2 has done that and then some.
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.
