Think you can get away with murder? Even if you doubt yourself, there's no question in the minds of those who are out to hunt you that you're gonna get what's coming to you. Better make tracks, fast, and make your tactical cunning count wherever and with whomever you end up with in Daedalic Entertainment's Blackguards.
What it's about:
(...) suspenseful storytelling and unique characters with gripping tactical battles in elaborately crafted 3D-environments. In a taxing campaign, the player takes part in a dark story full of doubt, betrayal and loss.
Through this wild chase throughout the South of Aventuria, the world of The Dark Eye, there is more to fight than vicious creatures. Chapter by chapter you'll encounter a story full of intrigue and surprising twists. Time and time again, the moral compass of the player will be tested. One does not beat Blackguards without getting their hands dirty. But when life and death are in the player's hands, how far will they go to reach their goals?
Over 180 individually crafted battle maps full of interactive objects and strategically complex situations expose the player to exotic locations and put them through deadly trials.
To gain some further insight into what's being pursued with this title a good starting point might be the recent interview with producer Kai Fiebig and creative leads Martin Wilkes and Florian Pett at Strategy Informer.
The game is approximately halfway done and the developers are doggedly giving chase to their mark - a release by the end of this year.
