Party members can learn skills from trainers amour and weaponry can be purchased from vendors. As such, there are plenty of customisation options available in terms of party setup, balance and combat styles. As in the first Blackguards, each character has their own skills tree. The early stages of the game are devoted to learning the combat systems, recruiting party members and a great deal of story exposition. The object of the campaign is to progress across a map in pursuit of Marwan and his territory, conquering cities along the way.
Marwan left his wife to die in a dungeon at the hands of poisonous spiders but, instead of killing her, the venom disfigured Cassia’s face and turned her into a lunatic hell-bent on getting revenge. A woman scorned.īlackguards 2 has a new protagonist in the form of Cassia, a noblewoman having some pretty serious marital issues with her husband Marwan. While some things have definitely changed for the better, unfortunately there are still some significant playability problems with the franchise.
#Blackguards 2 review series#
It was my hope that some of the things that held back the first game would be fixed, and that this new entry into the Blackguards series would be an improved, less-cumbersome offering.
Still, I welcomed the opportunity to play Daedalic’s sequel, Blackguards 2, with cautious optimism. On the surface it had a lot of appeal, but its frustrating dice-roll combat system and spikes in difficulty led me to move on from the game. As a fan of fantasy genre games and RPGs in general, I was surprised how little time I put into the original Blackguards.
