These are my first impressions of the new strategy RPG Blackguards 2 by Daedalic Entertainment. Disclosure: I was provided a key to this game, but I am not in any way, shape, or form bound to provide anything other than my honest commentary about the game.

I cover the first 25 or 30 minutes of the game which primarily deals with the tutorial to get you squared away in this weird, dark, messed up world. Admittedly, the game does take some time to get used to, so just be aware of that if you haven't played the first game before.

This game was played in Windows 8.1 on the following hardware:

Xeon 3.33 ghz 6-core W3680 CPU
12 GB RAM
Nvidia GeForce 980 4GB
Samsung 840 EVO SSD

As you'll see in the video, it ran smoothly at 1080p for the entirety of the game, but as I also note in the video, I had to play it at 1080p because the fonts are ugly (fuzzy/blurry) at 1440p. A shame.

See below for additional links and information on the game. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask and I'll do my best to answer your questions, though I admit to being a newbie where this game is concerned.

Cheers.

Blackguards 2 is available on Steam, Daedalic Entertainment's website, GOG, Green Man Gaming, and a variety of other online stores for immediate purchse. Here's a hint: it's cheaper at Daedalic's store than anyone else's as of Jan 20, 2015.
