Black Guards is probably one of the darkest stories of the fantasy role-playing game “The Dark Eye” has ever seen:

What happens when the only hope of a threatened world lies not with heroes in shining armor, but is placed in the hands of a band of misfits and criminals? Blackguards, the new turn-based RPG by Daedalic Entertainment, explores this very question.

The player takes on the role of a convicted murderer who must use the help of a team of more than questionable characters to save the world from a dark menace. 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?

The first turn-based RPG by Daedalic Entertainment unites the studio’s high standard of a 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.

● More than 180 unique battlemaps provide ever-evolving and novel challenges. ● Make sure you have plenty of snacks, as this dark fantasy adventure has 40+ hours of exciting play time. ● Lead up to five characters in your party to glorious victory or devastating defeat. ● Enjoy enchanting hand drawn backdrops.
