Unlike many titles that have claimed the same in recent memory though, Blackguards 2 means it. What drives her is up to the player to decide, and the game informs you very early on that dialogue options you choose will have consequences. Alone and driven mad by years of exposure to the venom of the sacred Corapia spiders that harass her, her journey begins. Cassia starts the game imprisoned in the catacombs below the arena in the capitol city, locked up by her husband, a self-proclaimed God-king figure. You see, where Blackguards 2 really shines is in the writing. The meta-game feels comfortingly familiar to those who have played titles such as Final Fantasy Tactics, as when not in combat, you command the heroine Cassia’s growing army of forgotten heroes and mercenaries from location to location on the world map on a mission of revenge. The RPG rule-set is based on the tabletop game The Dark Eye, so it should be of no surprise that this adapts very intuitively to a PC Tactics game, even for those as unfamiliar with The Dark Eye as I am. That being said, the sheer size of the battle maps, number of interactive terrain elements, and interesting enemy mechanics bring some much appreciated freshness into a genre filled with tropes.
