Daedalic Entertainment has announced the worldwide release of Blackguards 2, a strategic role playing game that brings back some of the first game's iconic Blackguards for another adventure. Blackguards 2 is available for PC and Mac and can be purchased in the Steam store for $31.49. To celebrate today's release, Daedalic has sent out a brand new trailer.
Blackguards 2 will again be based on the RPG rulebook of The Dark Eye, but it will come along with some revisions, optimisations and simplifications. The gameplay will focus on turn-based battles once more – this time the players have to conquer Cassia’s lands and defend them against intruders when the need arises. As in a fraction-based game the enemies can recapture the territories from the Blackguards.
If not in a battle, players take care of a lot of quests and the development of their characters. As common in RPGs, the quests will offer optional and alternative plotlines.
Furthermore, Blackguards 2 will have new weapons, armor, enemies and stamina as additional battle resource.
On top of that, Blackguards 2 will involve mechanics that have been requested by players of the first game, like improved line of sight, cover and formation.
