5.0/5

Blackguards is part of The Dark Eye role-playing game collection and comes with a somewhat interesting premise: this time, the world has to be saved by a band of quite unlikely heroes.

The main character is a convicted criminal that has to team up with other misfits and go in an adventure against dark forces that are threatening to take charge of the realm.

Even though you are not familiar with this type of game, playing Blackguards proves to be quite intuitive. Beginners are advised to start with the basic mode in order to avoid having to manually configure all the aspects related to the main character.

Moreover, Blackguards integrates help messages that take the player through all the basic notions (you can deactivate them via the Options).

The gameplay is quite straightforward: you get quests that you must complete to gain various types of resources and skills that will help you be more efficient when fighting new enemies. Naturally, your opponents become more powerful as you progress.

Within the Blackguards universe, your character has a limited movement and action area, so you must plan your moves strategically to make the most of your turn. The best part is that you get to team up with other characters, so your battle plans can increase in complexity.

Between quests, you get to see the realm map, where you have been, and where you need to go next. Note that you can also interact with other characters and decide what to say to them. This way, Blackguards makes you follow the plot line and not focus solely on the battles.

Blackguards can be a rather complex game: among other things, you get to control multiple characters and develop efficient strategies, your main character is highly personalizable, and you interact with other game characters.

Moreover, Blackguards manages to create a fantasy atmosphere by keeping up with the storyline while you try to solve different quests.
