Blackguards 2 Critic Reviews

Blackguard 2 manages to exist as a game that feels like a classic strategy role playing game, and as so much more at the same time. A deep story with great characters, varied quests, deep customization, and great battles make for a must have game. It may be a bit daunting for those new to the genre, but the payoff after the challenge is more than worth it.

Blackguards 2 is an immensely satisfying turn based strategy game that brings an enticing story and high-quality balanced combat to the table.

If you're interested in experiencing a story that isn't just the standard fantasy lore, then Blackguards 2 is worth a try.

A good sequel that manages to correct some of the issues of the first Blackguards. Despite some technical issues, Blackguards 2 is a must-have for fans of turn-based strategy games.

Not all RPG’s should be about dialog and inter-party romances, and Blackguards 2 proves that well. Nice set of varied combat scenarios, with a great battle system, fine by me.

Blackguards 2 builds on the success of its predecessor in an interesting way. Some simplifications have been made, but the game now offers a more open-ended campaign and an intriguingly deep combat system. The game's graphics and voiceovers could have been improved upon but as as a whole Blackguards 2 is a solid and entertaining sequel.

More freedom and lots of little improvements make this sequel a lot better - and all that for a fair price.

Blackguards 2 takes the formula of the initial release and expands upon it, but there’s nothing truly innovative, apart from the origin story of Cassia and her frequent moments of near madness.

Blackguards 2 is a way more well-rounded and ambitious game than its predecessor was.

With a stronger protagonist and better combat and RPG systems, Blackguards 2 is a more engaging, more incisive game than the original.

The more focused campaign, and a protagonist that is much more than a cardboard cut out have elevated the sequel considerably.

If you can overlook the dated graphics and some bugs, in Blackguards 2 you'll find a great tactical RPG, true to the spirit of "The Dark Eye' franchise.

Blackguards 2 may start off as a something of a bad-guy gimmick, but it soon transcends the wow factor inspired by the dark gothic setting and the baleful protagonists. Come for the evil, stay for the brilliantly realized and addictive tactical game loaded with depth and challenge.

Blackguards 2 is an improved and expanded version of the tactical fantasy cRPG from a year ago. After introducing many modifications, the battles are more dynamic but still challenging, and the player's frustration level is minimal. Repeating maps encourages trying out new tactics, and a really cool storyline is an additional motivation for playing.

Coming so soon after the first entry Blackguards 2 is a surprisingly packed improvement over the original, giving you the chance to dominate and rule over South Aventuria with all the bitterness and rage such a task would need.

Blackguards 2 is the true heir of the first chapter, and there's enough to keep the fans busy for many strategic gameplay hours.

Blackguards 2 had a rocky launch, but the 2.0 patch release fixes virtually all the technical and balancing issues that I encountered with it. I found its story to be a little pedestrian, but really enjoyed the gameplay and customizability of the characters.

The metagame feels comfortingly familiar to those who have played titles such as Final Fantasy Tactics.

A very good tactical RPG, in many ways bizarrely closer to the Japanese school than to the western one.

Daedalic effectively removed the elements that made last year's release annoying at all the wrong moments, and left its players with the best parts of the experience. It's still a methodical, almost plodding tactical roleplaying game, but now it's easier to find the fun and to enjoy its world and characters.
