![]() ![]() Strewn with precariously stacked boxes to tumble, traps to spring and chandeliers to drop atop foes, the levels themselves are a particular highlight of Blackguards 2. Regardless of the reasons for your actions, the meat on the bones of Blackguards 2 is its hex-based combat, myriad skill trees and the tactical decisions presented by its interactive maps. These are mostly deliberate, although the occasionally wonky script and voice acting conspire to turn it all into a bit of a pantomime that undermines its otherwise dark overtones. The scenarios are suitably grim and take in ritual slaughter, torture, and your own fragile state of mind but Blackguards 2 is not without moments of humour. Here, you'll also visit the blacksmith, merchant, alchemist and trainer and uncover the main crux of the story as you question townsfolk and make some ugly choices that will affect how your new subjects perceive you. Interaction with your ragtag bunch takes place when you set-up camp or in bigger towns that you capture along the way. Some enemies appear ill-prepared but ineffective weapons can still make fights drag out for far too long. There are also a band of mercenaries brought on board to help bolster your numbers and provide the mainstay of your forces when your meddling provokes your deranged-ex to strike back against some of the settlements that you've "liberated". Each of your companions, from the greedy dwarf with anger management issues to the mopey but dashing mage, have their own thoughts on the wider world and on Cassia's tenuous grip on her sanity, not all of which are complementary. Accompanying Cassia is a bunch of shady reprobates who all have their own reasons for signing up and whose fate will ultimately be decided by the choices you make along the way. What follows is a single-player, turn-based tactical jaunt across a sizeable world map, seizing control of towns, fiddling with stats and choosing just how dastardly anti-hero Cassia will be as she beats a bloody hexagonal path to her former beloved's door. ![]() Occasionally, that parting shot is less bittersweet and altogether more final, something along the lines of "I don't love you anymore, so I'm casting you into these labyrinthine catacombs to have your face and mind vandalised by giant-spider venom." So it is for Cassia of Tenos, who thankfully is a resourceful lass and one for self-empowerment so that after just four years and a 30-minute tutorial she's back on her feet, a tad miffed and crazy enough to frequently argue with herself.

But then again, how cunning must one be to escape the dungeon's walls and how reckless must one be to gather and command the worst scum of the realms? She needs to recruit an army of Sellswords and rally the Vanquishers of the Nine Hordes around her. She intends to break out of prison and overthrow Marwan to claim the throne herself. She is neither fond nor proficient in matters of diplomacy or politics, so she chooses a more. First of all, she spends her days incarcerated in a dungeon and secondly, there is already a man on her throne: Marwan. Unfortunately, there are two problems that potentially foil her plans. Cassia, a young woman of noble descent, has only one goal: She wants to claim the Shark Throne, no matter the price and be it only for one day. The Vanquishers of the Nine Hordes long parted ways but life in Aventuria went on. Three years have passed since Count Uria's plots.
