Blackguards, Daedalic Entertainment’s upcoming turn-based RPG is rescheduled to January 2014. This game is not only new ground for the developer in terms of grim storytelling: turn-based RPG also means a whole new genre for adventure-specialist Daedalic to tackle. What the game already has to offer comes in the form of brand new screenshots featuring the various battlemaps of Blackguards.
‘Of course we want to ensure the highest quality, even if we tread on new ground; and most of all, we want the players to enjoy the finished game.’, Kai Fiebig says, Senior Producer of Blackguards.
‘All the time we’ve gained now will be used to put as much effort as possible into improving the game. We’ll optimize performance, implement new features and also polish the visuals.’
Blackguards will be available January 2014 for PC.
Blackguards is probably one of the bleakest stories ever told in the universe of ‘The Dark Eye’: What if the only remaining hope of a world is not a company of virtuous heroes, but instead a bunch of outcasts and criminals? Blackguards will answer this very question. The player takes on the role of a convicted murderer, accompanied by a group of no less dubious characters. They may spare the world its grim fate, but their good deeds are neither acts of kindness nor heroism, but according to their roguish nature rather a result of their attempts to save their own hides.
Staying alive is a feat of its own, since not only the long arm of the law wants their heads, but there are also other, mysterious powers with much more sinister intentions on their trail. As if all this wasn’t enough, Aventuria’s south is crawling with dangerous beasts and monsters…
Blackguards is a turn-based RPG with strategic combat and combines the studio’s high standards of storytelling and unique characters with thrilling action and an elaborate 3D environment.
Challenging quests lead the player through a dark story of doubt, treachery and loss.
